Wow, there is surely a lot of Tanaka-hater. Well, I'm going to say what I see.

I joined FFXIV dec 2010. I didn't know how crazy it was alpha/beta, althought not as appealing as ffxi, it was fine with me with nov update, followed by Dec update.

I had a good 2 months. Made some friends, kill few NMs, tried all kind of leves.

But ever since Yoshi letters.. lots of people start to disappear, US, German, French, even JP players...

I haven't log on more than 2 months already. I understand Yoshi is doing "Preparation" and "Basic", but that is just not enough.

Why? I just don't see Yoshi being capable of providing a Remarkable Game to us.

Becuz You can see a lot of a person when he is doing his ground work.

A quick metaphor to explain my idea: there are many musician practice piano so hard everyday, but it doesn't make he Mozart.


I think Yoshi is good at twisting/promoting FFXIV, maybe FFXIV will be a blast when launch in China, PS3.. so on. But for how long??

Yoshi is unable to make FFXIV remarkable. FFXI is remarkable, FFXIV is not, not by Yoshi.

Again, I don't hate Yoshi, I'm not a blind follower of Tanaka, afterall, who are they to me?

You can judge things your way. I'm just saying what I see.
