Really starting to get discouraged from playing.

Wat? Yoshida took over 2 months after 1.0 launched..and this very dev team and Yoshida was working on 1.x from 1.1 until the end there 1.23...

He had plenty of involvement in 1.x series. I was here for all of it..lol what are you talking about?

When this game was 1.23 , it was going in a VERY innovative, original and fun direction..then 2.0 happened..bleh.

Yoshi-P's credits officially state ARR(2.0) as his first venture into the XIV I.P. Although it is true once he was brought on board a number of smaller patches were released towards the end of 1.0 as a prelude to the official relaunch/re-branding of the game. Which was when 1.0 became free to play as compensation whilst work on ARR began. These patches were a means to tie up the loose ends in a nice bow before the switch was made (hence why they literally blew up the world via the Calamity) However almost all of 1.0 content had nothing to do with Yoshi-P. It was not until 2.0 that we saw the fruits of his labour which is why it is only 2.0 on wards in which he is credited as Producer and Director.

The major faults of 1.0 were due to Tanaka and Komoto, nothing to do with Yoshi-P whatsoever.
