to those japanese speakers...

I am seeing a lot of complaints on there about the FATEs for the beast tribe dailies taking a long time to spawn. I thought this comment was funny:

このゲーム一番楽しんでるのはゲロルトですわ。

Gerolt is the one enjoying this game the most

The JP thread isn't as bad as the NA threads with contains soulless threats like "I will unsub herpderp".

There are some who voiced their concerns, but most are just confused. "Anima is a rehash of Zeta, collect a few things, do dungeons, collect more things". No change in the underlying system. Some other just want small minor changes, such as making HW dungeons available to run undersized(?) (I'm still on the atma stage). Some are asking for an explanation at the next PLL.

While they certainly listen to the Japanese demographic more than they ever do to their American/European demographic, you also have to realize the cultural differences and attitudes between the two.

For one, they're not nearly as entitled as our demographic and when they are, they bring their point across in what could be considered a less aggressive, less whiny stance than we do.

I'm not saying they're better, but they're easier to engage in dialogue with and don't resort to sarcastic, caustic tirades nearly as much as we do.

Is it any wonder as to why they listen more to the constructive, sensible feedback that the JP player base give?

Given the choice would you rather talk with a person or a screaming monkey?

Definitely. And they are really good at posting threads at the relevant forum section instead of dumping everything in the General Discussion forum. For example, when SE revealed the housing destruction and plot reclamation plan, they made one new thread in the Housing section of the forums to complain and clarify. They also posted on another pre-existing thread which was a complaint thread about the housing system of FF14 in general. On the other hand, the English forums ignores the other forum sections and makes 20 threads on the same topic in the General Discussion section.

I let my money do most of the talking for me. So I'll see you guys in 3.2 probably.

If only the NA forums were as organized, and all the topics are in one place for easier navigation, reading and discussion. People treat this forum like it's reddit.

Not to mention the exaggerating or vague titles people come up with as titles. Click bait.

[Fawkes]

If you look in game most people are fine with relics like myself its the vocal minority that does a lot of nay-saying and doom and gloom posts.

Also there is really no way you can say those statistics are true because you did not survey everyone playing the game.

There certainly is a large difference in culture, and it's evident in how we hold discussions and present ideas and feedback to the devs. Of course, that isn't to say that JP users aren't without their bad eggs or cringe-worthy moments, but I'm never surprised when I see someone give a sarcastic response to a team member's official response. Just disappointed.

From personal experience, I can say that presentation is everything. The last time someone asked me to pass a request along and gave me a sarcastic reply when doing so, I did as I promised and passed the request along -- but to repay the "favor" I was paid, I laced the request with so much sarcasm and dismissive language that my higher-ups literally laughed it off.

What I'm trying to say is, the devs aren't our flogging posts; they're content creators in what should be a mature environment, and we should start treating it as such.
