Latest comment from Yoshida regarding Housing + Inventory space issue

[xXRaineXx]

To counter everything you just said with a simple statement.

Technically speaking, Yoshida never actually made those 'English' statements. Yoshida only makes statements in Japanese and I have personally confirmed he is inadequate when it comes to the English Language and incapable of proper English speech.

The word fundamental as you described it technically does not exist in the Japanese language, there are always issues with 'professional' translations where certain meanings are often misdelivered. Specially with Japanese words, which is often pointed out to be '微妙' (bimyou). This word does not have a direct English translation, but in the gist of it means 'to be confusing, unsure, strangely odd' or anything along those lines.

As an example try translate this Japanese sentence.
-あの本は微妙に変なかんじです。

Now that said... take away the gil issue, because many people have not said it'a about the gil

That's not what I see. I see people complaining about 3 things in a equal manner; COST/WARDS/GARDENING.

You say many people say they do not mind the gil, but I see many people who DO mind the gil. You only see things the way you see it because it doesn't affect you. You can't take away the gil issue. Because it IS part of the issue. There were many posts about how players could not make gil and could not fathom how the devs expected them to buy a house.

99,900,000.00

Even if they indeed made this amount;

1. Monthly paycheck for each employee would be around $3000-$10000 depending on the crucial position. The team for XIV is handled by SE's 3rd Division which is comprised of approx 70 employees (give or take).
2. Server maintenance (god knows how expensive this is).
3. Purchase of new resources such as new server hardware, installing and debugging may require additional hires.
4. Good portion in return to SE.HQ;
5. 400,000,000 approx spent down the drain during the development of 1.0, which SE is still not over with.
6. Current development of 3.0.
7. 2.4
8. Live letters/events etc
9. Yoshida who always look tired.
EDIT
10. Not to mention keeping the servers running 24/7 will have your electricity bills off the roof.
11. Then you have the development gear like PC's, consoles, sound gear and whatnot which needs to be updated with new gear so that they can be tested for compatibility.
12. This list can go 4eva.

You seem to miss the vital wider prospect in your comments.

'Oh many people said they don't mind gil, take that out of consideration' - Does not mean it ain't a issue.

That is simple I+G+N+O+R+A+N+C+E - 9+7+14+15+18+1+14+3+5 = 86%
