Ahh i see where you are coming from. People tend to ignore the "minor" patches as content, myself included i wont lie XD Since these namely lend themselves to late/gated implementations and balancing/bugs. Using your Alexander example for instance, that was still technically release content it was jsut time gated, and had a minor patch introduce it. My overall point is that they were at most only behind schedule by a month, since they had already stated that 3.1 was 4 months away instead of the usual 3 and then they had to take a vacation, even on this one Yoshi said he was becoming concerned for his teams health lol. So the delay was most definitely nowhere near 5 months of them chillaxing on some beach lol

The situation would have had to have been pretty bad even by Japanese workplace standards for him to make that statement too. One would have to wonder what point it had to reach for him to speak out about workplace conditions in a country where spending 10-15 hours in the office a day is considered normal.

Yeah XD I mean he obviously said it with a humorous undertone but even then its very outta the norm for Japan. Reminds me of when he was talking about losing all the people he had during the 1.0-2.0 transition, again in a humorous undertone but i was like "eep! stop you gonna get canned!" XD
