The Community Teams interview Yoshida in Japan!

seriously?

Maybe this finally gives some perspective to people thinking these things get done with a snap of a finger.

It's like this is any MMO. Remodeling is much faster I would imagine, or just recoloring.

And we are getting SEVEN completely new armor designs with jobs. It's a lot for any game.

Now imagine how long it takes to revamp the areas. Expansion-scale amount of work right there.

Wow, Rukkirii! You sure are beautiful! and Awesome job with the post! Thanks! (^_^)v

seriously?

Look at the FFXIV youtube channel and look at the old Eorzea videos where they show you how in game models are made. It will start to make a little more sense.

LOL now it's time for the Troll teams to roll in and tell us how long it should take to make stuff in game!(not referring to you OP)

Yeah, then you'll have some say "I can do it in a day blah blah" yet show no proof of it. They also don't show their programmed stats/ability enhancements.

Anyone that thinks they can do programming stuff in MMORPG faster than SE should recall, or learn what happen in FFXI yesterday. There was a small update to FFXI which cause a very game breaking glitch, which basically have cure do 99999 damage to all undead mobs.

It's a perfect case in point on how difficult working on MMORPG can be. IT could cause very random glitches or bugs that could break the game.

Bottomline is: Anyone that claims "I can do this shit faster" very likely have no idea what they are talking about or how MMORPG works.

oh my god! The man gets so little sleep!!!! D= I'm going to shut my mouth and stop complaining now. Lesson learned, much apologies yoshida =(.

That's just spaghetti code.

XIV has it's share of bugs but they are usually actually related to the modified feature in question... in XI you get bugs like when the scholar job was implemented with spells that modify the player's weather status, at the same time some completely unrelated monster types self-healing ability that is based on weather broke and healed for a lot more than it should.

It can be hilarious.

Instant... dead? undead mobs. Sounds as much fun as frustrating.

Point taken though.
