Without Tanaka, Yoshida runs the risk of developing a pat MMO that he likes from an uninspired consolidation of what he's played. Without Tanaka, Yoshida may create something that isn't its own. That's not Final Fantasy.

Without Yoshida, Tanaka just doesn't know how to work the MMO scene. God love him but if he's played ten hours of a MMO in his life I'll be a monkey's uncle.

I dunno what Komoto's role in any of this was, but Komoto should have been Yoshi-P.

The combination of Tanaka as Producer and Yoshida as director, I really like. With Yoshi-P doing almost all the talking because again. Not one of Tanaka's strong points.

Listen, ****ers! Shut up and listen!- Hiromichi "The Tank" Tanaka
I remember clearly that Tanaka said he use to play Everquest.
