Famitsu interview with Yoshida after NA's FanFest

[Stanelis]

Where's the problem, if it's a conservative, overly formly and lame 'party' or a movie which you take as serious as Sharknado? Because that's the comparisions I would draw.

Aren't you the people yelling: "Stop having fun with that movie!!! You did not watch the prequel yet, so you shouldn't be allowed to enjoy this one. People who never watched the prequel can't enjoy and can't even understand this movie, anyway! Turn it off!"

Usually the cinema company don't charge you to watch both a movie and its prequel and then offer you to pay an extra to only watch the new movie, if you re not interested in its prequel. That situation is exactly the issue with the jumping potions.

Its the main reason for any hostility i have towards players here thread after thread of how FFXIV should be like 11 it had its time its over

People don't ask for FFXIV to be like FFXI, but would rather like SE to look at their former work and to consider using again (or at least learn from) their best design elements.

As an example, each expansion storyline was independent in FFXI, and everybody was happy with that, and SE didn't have to sell XP potions. By saying that, I m not asking for the storylines of FFXIV to be the same as FFXI's.
