Dear Square-Enix...

I have no stick up my bum, I want everything to turn out right just like everyone else. But people need to have a little more faith and a little less negativity, rudeness and facetiousness. You don't need to tell them to fix the game so it lives up to its brand name, they are already trying to do that. Instead, be constructive about how they can polish things up going forward. You are also acting like they haven't done much of anything to improve the quality of the game yet, and that's a load of crap because they have improved things drastically (though there is still much to do).

So in short, yes, there is something wrong with what the OP is saying- Not so much intentions, though, as much as wording and tone. Everyone has their own idea as to what will make this game be worthy of being called final fantasy. Personally I still hold faith that the revamped team has a good idea of what they need to do to make that happen.

If it were not for that first sentence, I might not have even commented on the post. But I may as well address one thing that bugged me:

What I don't like about materia is that you can now manufacture the best gear in game by spamming enter while you sit in a city watching a movie.

? I must be in the wrong universe or something, because materia doesn't suddenly enable you to have the best gear in the game by "spamming enter while watching a movie." Do you think every player has such unlimited resources at their disposal that there is no economic cost for them to blow up gear left and right in an attempt to maximize it? Do you realize how much you can improve gear with just one materia? People will still have to do some kind of work more than "spam enter" to collect the resources and gear to keep reattempting after blowing gear up from materia failure. You were drastically oversimplifying the process. Anyone can make an argument if they totally transform something by making it "simpler" til it sounds the way they want.
