Its okay User thinks the coding in the game are only 50 line codes...little does he know each one is more than likely way over 1000 lines of coding.
Although Tanaka probably could hash out some half-baked idea with little customization in that time frame. Yoshi seems like he wants to take it to the next level, and I'm okay with that.
(Don't get me wrong though, I have utmost respect for Mr. Tanaka, as I played XI for many many years)
It's really a shame that some people can't enjoy the process of being part of a developing game as it changes and grows into something different. I mean, how many opportunities like this do we gamers really get? Normally all we'd get to see is a finished product where everything is all done, polished and set mostly in stone. Here we get to see the process and reasoning behind why certain things become the way they are from almost square one. What's more we actually have a say in certain changes and ideas that may be considered.
I think we need to remember that it shows a great amount of faith and tenacity for SE to continue developing this game. Were this game a Western company's endeavour, we would have seen it sold off to some F2P hub like Gamepot or abandoned all together and swept under the rug by now.
But on the bright side, the fact that the more vocal players, like User2k11September1st1:15PM, still actively join in on discussion topics does suggest that despite the game's current inadequacies, they too, still have enough faith in the game to stick around whether in the forums or in game. =D
Thanks Devs you have done a good job and can't wait for another year of FFXIV
I like seeing positive threads like this :) it's true that a majority of people know almost nothing of the hard work that goes into making games, and even *more* hard work trying to please their players!
Good job team! I am SO excited for the chocobos that are almost here!!!!
Thank you for all the hard work, FFXIV team. ^^
かんぱい！(with my green tea :p)
wipe your nose, I can still see some brown on it.
BTW this is an English forum. If you want to show off your Google translate skills take it to the Japanese threads.
Even though I have been complaining a bit of late (only a little... and only of late,) I'll more than wholeheartedly rise my glass with the OP as well. Thank you, Yoshida, for all your hard work to you and your team.
:-)

Yeah i like most of the stuff i see planned, i really can't for the systems to be reworked and finished i think alot more people will like the game when its handling smooth and we have all the basic functions we expected. To be honest even though the UI is hard to work with its current foundation i'm very impressed with how the UI looks and soon what we will be able to do with it, it looks better and soon will be more customizable than pretty much any other game that i know and i think it will only get better once the UI foundation is remodeled.
