Do you think Yoshida will deliver in 1.18?

[darkstarpoet1]

And no one to play with.

actually i'd have to say if he was allowed to finish the products that were being worked on the game would be in alot better shape than it is now. i mean it's not like yoshi has done anything to make the game fun up til now. if it was more people would be joining and not as many people would be putting such high hopes on a single patch. he added low level nm's that was good for the new players, but since the majority of the players in game at this point has at least one capped class they were forgotten.

What are you insinuating? That Yoshi has raked in the subscribers?

Considering the bleeding, better then mister billion in debt T-san.

You want to make content the issue, but guess what, a good 70% of people quit with less the a month of playtime, The average level was around lvl 30, that's how disgusted they were.

No you wouldn't have been playing with grand companies because the servers would have been shut down.

Again for reference as of November, before T-san got his kicking. If you think it would have been any different with screw-beta-Tanaka.

Oh my darling failure, you're the only failure I can rely on...bleehh.

Tanaka in response to criticism: Lash out at it's fans for disrupting his vision (Twitter controversy of surplus)
Yoshi in response to criticism: Let's do a poll, and see what everyone wants~~~~~

Tanaka : Epic fail
Yoshi : slower then selling at the market ward

Which part of epic fail was there to find faith in?

i am not saying tanaka did a good job at all. you are completely taking me out of context. what i am saying is there were items that were in the works alot of people were waiting on. the grand companies, chocobo's, new classes, dungeons. these were all being worked on, but when yoshi took over they were either trashed or threw in the back burner. if those items were allowed to be finished and implemented i will honestly say i believe people would have been more relaxed on waiting on the battle updates.

in case you remember the number 1 thing people asked for in the polls was not battle overhaul. you love to throw it out as the thing people asked for first, but you are completely wrong. the first thing people asked for was content and that is what is not being delivered. i'm sorry to use facts as this hurts your argument, but your reasoning is fail.

I think the battle system changes won't be in a finalised state until winter/spring. Even if they do manage a completed system adjustments/balancing to it will take many many months to polish.

As a result I think we'll still see a lack of content until 2012 too, sure there'll be more to do but maybe not enough for the hardcorers who are starting to reach cap on every job. Hopefully there'll be enough content to keep the hardcorers happy and playing until the game fills itself

I don't feel these changes will be the perfect changes that makes the game whole, I think its unrealistic to expect it considering how much of a mess the game was at release. I think the real question is whether they will keep the bulk of people already playing interested until 2012+ and whether they can get enough interest for old xi players and others who have already quit/never heard of ffxiv. I'm still holding out hope that this game will blossom, but I don't expect it to until 1st expansion/2012/2013!

I don't feel like they'll make the game magic in the next few months and give it enough interest in the gaming world to suddenly be a success, I think this game will be a slow burner and will take years for population to grow and for the game to become a whole.

You know I don't think SE even cares about "us". Its quite obvious the only reason they left the servers open is because they couldn't sell us a game we couldn't play now could they? they were held liable to keep servers open at the very least OR refund our money. Considering releasing the game early to begin with was to inject cash into the project, they weren't going to refund us for anything, so keeping the servers open was their only viable option. Point in case being that they don't care if we stick around and play or don't...they are doing the bare minimum to keep us around but if we left, at most they risk losing 30K players now. I'm sure whatever future projections they have for this game consist of a hell of a lot more than that otherwise its just stupid business. So IMO content will not be enough to hold over the hardcores and SE will take their sweet time with game...now I'm starting to think PS3 version releases next year in March, before the end of their fiscal year is all they would really care about.

I don't think so tanaka was fixing one thing at a time with a slow ass pace he changed the MW like 4 times within 4 months

Player-Run Companies are still in the works, as confirmed by the Devs. New classes, well duh! Get your facts straight, before you make me find my sources..
