Does SE still have a spine???

[Vanguard319]

I really would like to know, looking at the most recent "concessions" they have made, it seems to me like they have no capacity to say no to player demands, ESPECIALLY when those ideas are really bad or replace something that wasn't broken in the first place.

SE's current attitude about appeasing every single person who whines about something they hate in this game is like watching The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya played out in game development form, and frankly, I'm starting to worry that it will turn out the same as the SOS Brigade's film. (Sorry if you don't get the reference, but it was the best analogy I could come up with at 4:30 AM. If you don't get it, google it.)

There is absolutely NO way you are going to please everybody, making a game that appeals to both the casual and the hardcore may well have been the biggest mistake that the devs made, simply because these two opposing camps have radically different opinions of what makes a good MMO.

And so SE I beg you: Learn how and when to tell the players that you will not give them what they want whenever they demand it like horribly spoiled children, even if they throw a tantrum. I believe this game can still be great, but it'll never happen if you keep trying to aquiesce to every single demand that is made on these forums.

Threads like these are just like the Endless 8 episodes of that same anime the OP mentioned.

Jokes aside, I feel SE are introducing features of the game that they would have implemented anyway regardless of whether it was requested or not. It's not odd for the community and developers to share the same ideas. I think it's the individual feedback, however, which can affect these shared ideas. That is the problem I think.

SE has said NO multiple times to suggestions, and hence this thread is now pointless.

This thread sucks.

lmao, i call yoshi "the yes man" ...he came to save face give all the babies there binkies and make there money back at probably whatever cost. "the yes man" is fail, i prefer tanaka back, or better yet i would of liked to see the game come out when it was ready with the basis of what it started off as.

but i quess u say yes to everything your bound to make some good choices lol, but i don't think so far the good ones over see the amount of crappy ones.

No they do not because they are pudding(flan) type creatures.

SE has said no to quite a few things and rightfully so, but even then, lately it's "We'll think about it" to the most pointless of things.

Just recently, for example, the removal of the AoE toggle? UHHHH. WHAT. Why?! It was obnoxious, but a preset such as "remember this choice" per spell or spell type, that would have been much better, but the removal of it all together? So no more AoE? or AoE is now an official lock?

I really don't understand this forum sometimes. This is after all a Final Fantasy numbered title, and not some horrendous western MMO.

AOE toggle is most likely going to go for balance reasons in favor of separate single and AOE spells. Another solution would be to keep the AOE toggle but disperse the damage/healing depending on the number of targets affected.

Also @OP do you really think that the dev team is looking at XXxGokUveriNeXxX's posts about how he wants wings and a catgirl girlfriend and going "welp I guess we better get to work on this so the player base doesn't throw a tantrum?"

My awesome is bored of this thread.

To double up spells for Conjurers and Thaus in that way, I do hope they offer more skill bars + allowing us to toggle the appearance of the bar at will instead of having it disappear while disengaged (making it easier to switch from one set to the next)

But ideally I'd still like for the toggle to be in place, just not in battle, but one we can set up for each skill or skill/spell type.

And because there are so many spells to scroll through, revising the way the list shows up would also be nice as well. >:
