I'm not talking about Tanaka.
Yoshi-P says he wants to bring more of the traditional Final Fantasy feel to this game. In my mind, there's only one way to do this.
SE, please make amends with Hironobu Sakaguchi, the father of Final Fantasy, and bring him back to Square.
Since he left, we've seen FF10, which removed the world map. FF12, with its complete departure in play style from any previous Final Fantasy title. FF13, a step in the right direction, but still lacking what made Final Fantasy great.
XI stood apart from these, since it was an MMO, and therefore had to be different.
Now, I enjoyed all these games, but to me the series hasn't quite been the same since Sakaguchi left the company. Even if it's only as a creative consultant, the wealth of RPG design knowledge, specifically for the Final Fantasy series, could do nothing but make this game better.
I'm sure there are political and financial reasons why this likely won't happen, but maybe since you were able to get Uematsu on board to write the music, you could get Sakaguchi on board too, eh?
It couldn't hurt.
Bring back the old guard

I'd be for this, except we don't know the extent of Sakaguchi's MMO knowledge. He could be like Tanaka, and not really take notice of what's going on in the MMO world. It could easily be TSW all over again.
I'd be more than glad to have him back for future offline FFs though. :3 -

I think Yoshi P is doing a marvelous job so far.

A nice idea, but I suspect Sakaguchi would be too busy running Mistwalker Studios and developing games like The Last Story to bother coming back to Square.
Uematsu was able to return because his companies, Smile Please and Dog Ear Records, produce soundtracks for the creative works of other companies, rather than creating independent productions on their own. -

Didnt Yoshi-P say there was a member of his staff, as writer or something, that he wished to keep as a secret for now?
And how he often keeps repeating that ARR is returning to roots, the storyline, the environments, the 'nods to former FF titles' which have all been old title acknowledgements.
Its possible they already did. -

Hello,
Thank you all for your posts. Unfortunately it seems this thread has run its course, so we are locking it. While we encourage using existing threads to discuss topics relevant to FFXIV, some topics which have become too old or are no longer relevant may be better left where they are, rather than bringing an old thread back to life.
