Final Fantasy itself is a big name, but yes, I am assuming. We shall see how it all plays out.

You think that abandoning raiding could save this game? Have you heard of Lord of the Rings Online? They did exactly what you are suggesting and it killed their game. I HOPE Yoshida takes on your suggestion, it would only make what I want happen faster.
"Hardcore" raiding. You omitted a key detail there. One could argue focusing entirely on developing a midcore-- both in scaling down Savage slightly, adding more Primals equivalents or even using the saved resources to make harder dungeons would be better than focusing on content only 5-10% of people actually do.

We will see I grow ever more gleeful with every census, with every bit of bad news, with every "I am quitting thread"

I think you misplace your confidence with this dev team, They keep missing the mark, again and again and again and again. I literally feel like comcast guy from southpark, lol. I mean, if I am wrong, so be it, at least the raid team I leave behind will have a game to enjoy. If I am right, I get to see a game go up in flames while being vindicated. I don't really have much to lose here, heh.
Suppose so. Kind of sad you care that much about a game though. I can only speak for myself, but when I lose interest, I just... move on. Why wish other people's enjoyment ruined because you no longer find any?
