Famitsu interview with Yoshida after NA's FanFest

[Yasuhiro]

Devs Panda to the ff11 players too much

I'd rather devs pander to fans of a Final Fantasy game than the WoW refugees who jump over to this game and complain.
Again, this forum, the NA side of it in particular is disturbingly hostile towards Final Fantasy XI.

Such hostility is usually born out of people growing tired of former FF11 players who seem to think FF14 to become like FF11, particularly when aspects of the game they ask for are ones others don't like.

Honestly the reason I don't think they do 2.0 again is A) because its too quick to do for the intended function of the reward and B) it probably requires additional resources to produce things like the extra trials. Till we know more about Eureka I am holding my judgement on if I think its a good improvement.

Final Fantasy XI Bastardized red mage into a shadow of it's former self. As if that wasn't enough for me to hate it, it is encapsulated everything I hate about MMO's in general and had absolutely no true progression. ((Horizontal progression is not real progression in my opinion, but YMMV.))

I literally fundamentally oppose everything you said here.
