I'll support Hiromichi Tanaka regardless, How about You?

[SuzakuCMX]

you mean the 2week ish or so they had off? they still had 4month to add more stuff problem is they got a new team which the new team have to learn everything about FFXIV and what wrong with it from the old team. Which then waste 1-2month of just talking and see what they can do about it.

if they left the old team and just hire the new one to give a hand with it the game would have been better 2-4months ago.

2 weeks off because it was literally impossible to work because of power outages and aftershocks, and then after that there was still a load of shit to deal with from the earthquake and tsunami (and MOAR AFTERSHOCKS).

Also they have the same teams. Yoshi-P is the only new person as far as I know.

I understand the earthquake so i don't blame them for that one.


@Daedae so you don't care if this become a wow-clone? like what the point of having other wow-clone if wow still up and running? just for the sake of saying am not playing wow and it's a new look? i want FFXIV to be different in it's own way like ffxi was. I don't want hardcore but i don't want 100% casual also you can make the game fun and casual without copying what wow did.

or do you mean something else and i just don't get it?

What I mean is that there is no point in excluding things in XIV that other MMO's, including WoW, have implemented, such as an AH, or a mount system, or instanced content. By trying to be as unique as possible, XIV has become terribly inefficient. Market Wards are inferior to an AH, Anima is inferior to a mount system(I understand mounts will be in game, but in how many years?), a large barren world is inferior to a smaller, more dynamic and varied world.. A balance of instanced and free-roaming content and nm's would be great. Crying WoW-clone because Yoshi has plans to implement changes that are in nearly EVERY single MMO aside from XIV is just ridiculous. The game as it is, is not challenging, it isn't much fun, and there is a glaring lack of content. If Yoshi has plans to change this using recycled ideas, I'm cool with it, as long as they are tweaked and adjusted to fit within the realm of this game and franchise. Progress within anything happens by taking an existing idea and improving it, not setting it back 20 years.

Also, Richard's troll bridge has flooded, when the water clears, he'll be back to terrorizing the forum denizens, so hold off on the good stuff!

Oh by unique i mean make dungeon but make it better maybe with floors? like .hack and at the end there a boss and a chest to open. To find the way to get change the layout of the map as you walk in the map become open the more you walk but the layout change each time you redo it this is unique but still a dungeon.

I don't know why they added a AH that a dumb move from Tanaka but Yoshi-p does not want to add a AH also so it's not like we can blame Tanaka if not even Yoshi-p want to change it.

I want FFXIV to be unique but add everything else it need from other mmo just don't copy them 100%

wat wat wat wat

[Zenaku]

wat wat wat wat

I don't want dungeon to be the main thing of the game like how wow is -.- that what i mean sorry

[Xmbei]

well right now the main thing in XIV is leve quest's which are instanced events that only you or your party participate in and that is all that XIV is Leve Quest XIV! the only major difference is no bosses in leve's unless it is an NM leve chain and that it is in the open world.

You support him because of what he's done, this isn't "regardless"...this is because he has a good track record, but moving forward, if Hiromichi Tanaka starts doing things differently (and you don't agree with his ideas), no you shouldn't support him. Me? I support an idea, I don't ever support a person...I think this question can be posed on many other topics and the answer should always be that we support an idea, never a person.

[Tirem778]

Pointless thread is pointless? Well either way. He had a dream. Either it was horrid nightmare of endless boredom, or he just didn't have the time. Either way, doesn't make a difference now. He's out. Yoshi is in. Who knows, maybe hes still talking with Yoshi directing him a bit, despite what they say. Overall I think this whole thing was a publicity stunt and patch 2.0 is gonna kick all of our heads in and make this game what we all wanted. (I CAN DREAM CAN'T I?! D; *cries*)
