Six Questions

[AarosLunos]

Tanaka's done too much for Final Fantasy to be shown as much disrespect as he has been for being out of touch with MMOs. Personally, I think that's his only real flaw; that his methods didn't evolve as fast as online gaming did. Yoshi-P is more in touch with what an MMO needs, but that fact extends only to that reality, imho.

TBH I don't blame him. I know he was a visionary, but honestly he is out of touch with todays MMO market. I blame Wada.

Do you remember when Wada said that FFXIV was going to "Dethrone World of Warcraft?" lol -- I don't think you're wrong in your finger pointing by any means.

Crystal Tools was created alongside FFXIV and FFXIII... its not like either of those games had a choice in which engine they were going to use.

I face palmed when he stated that. Even if XIV had a successful launch, it wouldn't have come close enough to dethrone WoW. Nothing can except maybe another Blizzard MMO can.

Yoichi Wada is a genius in finances and business, but retarded in video game design. Wada should never have had as much pull as he did on the title, but hey that's one of the luxuries of being president of Square Enix, you have the ability to over step your boundaries...

How can anyone be a genius at business?

"Donald Trump is a genius of finance"

That just sounds wrong.

being a genius of finance just means you have no morals and are greedy. No offence.

Trump is also a master of bankruptcy court and falsifying his net worth.

your post makes no sense elaborate please.. your redundant responses make for an ambiguous post.

I face palmed when he stated that. Even if XIV had a successful launch, it wouldn't have come close enought to dethrone WoW. Nothing can except maybe another Blizzard MMO.

It revealed his lack of comprehension to say it that way at all. WOW is an MMO that fulfills the desires of people who prefer that style of MMO. FF Online provides an entirely different experience, and the group of people who want that particular experience are outnumbered by the people who want the experience provided by WOW. It's as simple as that.

Saying that Final Fantasy Online could "dethrone" WoW is like saying that Cheezits will dethrone the meat food group. It not only sounds entirely unrealistic, but it doesn't make any godsdamned sense.

EDIT: And if Wada was a genius, he wouldn't have told his people to release a game that was only 20% completed onto the shelves because people will pay for it if it says Final Fantasy on the cover.

I've gleaned meaning from much more absurd posts than mine. Try harder.
