FFXI-2?

Then I'm surprised that the dev marker has been consistently appearing on a few topics here and there. Perhaps those "devs" are actually Chinese hackers. Hmmmm.

Either way, that's not an excuse for how you're treating Yoshi-P. At least provide something more constructive rather than; "Novelty is all he's got" and "new direction is crap". I can't really see devs getting much feedback on to how they can go about it from such statements, can they? Just because you're upset or in disagreement with a few options does not mean that we can take it all out on Yoshi. Spare him; he's only human.

I am not attacking him so much as his ideas.

"let's turn this into WoW as fast as possible without preserving any of the good features of the original FFXIV, nor evaluating the repurcussions of what we are doing"

That is not a good design philosophy.

I don't know how much more abundantly clear i have to be about this point. But to put it in layman's terms, nobody is going to want to play a carbon copy of WoW without the wealth of content, or a copy of TERA without the combat system and political system, nor a bad photocopy of Blade and Soul without the cobat and gear versatility, nor a SWToR clone without the huge amount of story-mode content and voiceacting.

Having a vision and commitment to that vision is better than trying to capture the dregs of the MMO market that probably have better games to play anyway.
