For someone talking about cherry picking:



You sure like to pick the point that the western votes seem to be more important when ironically, the biggest player base is infact the Japanese base at this point in time given the situation. It actually sounds like you're trying to say the Japanese votes don't matter. I'll even elaborate on this.

NA = USA, Mexico and Canada.
EU = Many, Many countries like Germany, France, Demark, England etc etc.
Japan = Japan. There's islands but, Japan in itself is an island nation with no segregated nations like EU for example.

Therefore, the "majority" votes means nothing when you take into consideration NA/EU have twice the amount of voters than Japan does just on a logistics scale, however Japan's majority vote were infact not for content, but majority of NA's votes were for content, while EU was tipping towards content and various other things.

I can promise you Blizzard wouldn't ignore what the NA gamers want and focus on what the chinese gamers want and as far as I'm concerned, China has more people than 10 Americas ontop of each other.
the word majority, means majority, it doesnt mean a certain elite group said battle, it means majority.
3-5 countries said content more actual players said content (even in japan content was a close second) If you do a survey to see what your playerbase wants, and the playerbase says content. It means content is the most important thing to you re player base.

once again people are getting fooled by marketing double talk.
Yoshida wanted to do battle first, thats all.

Far as the i cant do anything before battle, its kind of bullshit battle only relates to battle. unless they have only 3 people to spread across all facets of the game, there is no reason that they havent developed crafting, or fixed LShells. the fix for linkshells was supposed to be player companies, linkshells in this game were supposed to be just small collections of people/chat groups, Companies were supposed to the real collection of players/guilds, they were supposed to have companies ready pretty soon after november. Yoshida decided to scrap it. Ask the people bitching about the lack of LS controls/features and things to do with their ls if a bigger better LS with more options and content is worthwhile and i think you know what the answer would have been.

He uses the we had to wait on battle as blanket answer to explain and excuse all the games flaws. Its just bull, there is obviously some inaccuracy here, either he is failing totally and utterly as a developer, or he is just telling people things to mollify them, because the overall strategy they are planning isnt one players would like to hear.
