Tanaka's original direction is why the game is in the mess it is now. He's not a bad developer, but his decision to ignore even the basics cost this game big.

+1. This messing needs to stop. If the battle team can only deal with FFXI battle system, then go work there and leave the spot for some open minded battle team that can try and understand this game's current system.

You're basically telling them to drop support for FFXIV and focus on their other more successful MMORPG.

The base Tanaka created was utterly fantastic. The problem with the game was that NOTHING was finished. The entire setup reeks of upper management telling Tanaka the game HAD to ship by a certain date rather than when the game was done.

It's rather obvious if you look in the right places. Parley is a good example - they took the trouble to create this entire little mini-game setup, but then didn't flesh it out or impement it in more than a few places. Then there are the leve quests - again, they setup this entire system....then copy pasta'd most of the leves. Or take the battle system itself - it seems to be designed to be very action oriented, yet playing with it for a few hours easily shows you than the stamina and TP usage hasn't been calibrated correctly at all.

Yes, I know Tanaka was the producer. But he still has to answer to the people who control the funding.
