Compare and contrast Yoshida's last list to the one I provided. Which one sounds better to you?

Tanaka, Dec 2010 vs Yoshida, Feb 2011

Notice I had to go back to February just to find Yoshida's because it was 5 Letters ago (3 mo ago).
Notice everything in Tanaka's letter would have been done by February (March at the latest) if he'd stayed on.

So all Yoshida's done is work on this battle system, then the battle system better be pretty good - because if it's just XI and/or WoW's battle system slapped together and thrown into XIV, I imagine "shareholders" aren't going to be too happy about that, either.

PS - and by shareholders I mean me.
Buhahahaha someone must forget about what Tanaka really did... ALL THE TIME IN FFXI! Oh look at all this stuff I am promising, date passes, we don't see product, 6 years later, we still don't see product... man Tanaka what a great vision of lieing to your users.... and then He doesn't even mention those promises ever again hoping we forget about it... and we don't and he doesn't come through for us...
