I feel bad for Tanaka. (Tanaka appreciation thread)

[yukikaze_yanagi]

for me am not saying Tanaka or yoshi is better if they both work on ffxiv from day one this game would have turn out better. Yoshi-p have done noting for this game and everyone pray him like he god to this game saying that he give "Hope" to the game he have done noting the game is still the same as whe tanaka was in beside a few fix here and there but noting so great. The Quest don't even have CS so so too i see something that make me play more then 1hour per leve reset yoshi have not yet gain my trust in making this game better.

I hoping this game stay unique and does not become a wow-clone.

that's something you can see AFTER the infamous 1.18, not before.
we don't know how combat sistem will be.
we don't know how those "dungeons'n raids" will be structured.
we don't know even WHAT are the grand companies.
the only thing we know is companies were ready, but were empty in content, so yoshi delayed when they had something to do inside.Tanaka would reseased as it ? Yes,no, maybe, we don't know.
And for gods sake, every time the "no cutscene in sidequests" meme. In ffxi the general quests didn't had any cs. The one having where all bound in some way to the main story, with few exceptions.
assuming one can't make new content in a snap, can we wait the first meat ?

Dungeon would be somewhat like other mmo yoshi have said this in one of his interview. Battle now that something i like to see because that can change the overall gameplay i also want to see class system if they both good then ffxiv wont be that bad

Tanaka said yes,no,maybe too he was 100% sure when yoshi say something he 100% if not he just say we don't know atm like what SE alway do so that still the same like before it a SE thing not a tanaka thing.

so true

and its funny because we really don't know what Tanaka really had in mind. Looking at guild-leves and the general uncreative design, mob-behaviour, boring undefined jobs... and ofc the MW lol... sorry but how can someone assume that Tanaka would have been all that great in the future. Well maybe yes but looking at what he did so far, i have my doubts.

On the other hand i think that a lot of content is still incluenced by him and the former crew unless they really stopped working at late alpha/early beta stage.

And IF this game will be getting a wow clone it will just fail. Every developer who thinks to be able to create a wow killer, or a clone that gets over 3 mio player (for a longer time then just 1-2 months) is just stupid.
The only wow killer on the market possible is wow itself. Since with that playerbase THEY have to fail hard.

Theres only the "graphic" reason atm for people to switch to other wow clones (thats why wow clones usually end up dead very fast due to the lack of content - i don't like wow but thats a fact, thinking about the rift playerbase - a lot came from wow and are now bored after hitting 50 with the 2nd or 3rd character already... rift is nothing new and the dynamic events are not dynamic... questing is worse then wow, so only the graphic remains... )

I just hope SE realises that goin the mainstream mmo way doesn't work anymore, either you invent something new, fun (not just new for the sake of it being new lol), entertaining and something that LASTS!!! real dynamic events, or changing events, mazes etc. is what keeps people playing. Dungeons are great but they usually loose attraction if they are not extremely huge and well designed and offer plenty of content (for many differerent levels usually).

Patch 1.18-1.19 is definetly gonna be the "make-or-break" patch for this game. Hopefully it will adhear to that word "INFAMOUS" or we'll definetly see the end of FFXIV. People, can we just say NO to repeat threads as one of this kind already exist!? :P
