Of course the Tanaka vision could have been implemented terribly and everyone hated it. That's possible, but it sounds more promising than going with "tried and true" MMO mediocrity. That's what is happening to this game and we all (on some level) understand why. It's just a shame that a good dream had to die so SE could turn a dollar/yen off a failed launch - which they could have potentially prevented with a 6-12 mo delay.
Well have they completely scrapped off the whole HQ/ship/etc ideas?
