Be brave

Well, clearly Tanaka utterly fails as a producer. On the other hand, he did bring us the immersive world of FFXIV, the cutscene-laden beginning, the music, the idea of a storyline-driven MMO, etc. So while he totally blew his chance at making a good game, he is responsible for the best parts about FFXIV. I would say to answer you, look no further than the praise above for the definition of Tanaka's vision. He spoke of it a little during interviews but I think the praise of the launch reviewers is the best source.

You're making this whole thing sound worryingly religeous. He also directed all the utter crap that came with this game. The 'praise' of his vision is vague at best, and launch reviewers thought the game was a pile of piss.

He's a director, you have to realise he was in charge of the WHOLE game.
