    First we bitch about spamming 1, then get auto attack, now we want that back. We bitched about stats, they removed allotment, now we want that back. Lets just *** bring back tanaka so he can turn back time to when we had those, im sure youd all love that.

    actually they always said they were bringing it back, and that this was a temporary thing they wanted to do while balancing some things. I didnt remember the date, but apparently they did say 1.20 coming back.

    it does make sense in some cases, such as a pugilist who wants to spec for DD or a different who wants to spec for tanking, also their are other applications, like now vit effects buffs, some mages may want that, some may not. A healer will probably want vit mind and piety, and a DD mage will probably want int mind and piety. there are other examples, materia doesnt really give you the options to do this, specific classes have certain things available to them.

    I would be perfectly happy with this. Tanaka had a lot of great ideas; unfortunately, he seemed to only have enough time to implement partially. If he'd been given the extra year to work on the game that's been given to Yoshi, I'm positive we would see results just as drastic as we're seeing now.

    Nothing wrong with most of the ideas with exceptions of course. But he couldn't prioritize and failed to develop the game efficiently and according to modern standards, and the aforementioned exceptions were pretty huge fuck-ups as well. Putting the blame on someone else would be in denial.

    He decided to use a graphics system that would not last in the long run. While some ideas were neat on paper, he executed them poorly, deciding that the best way to experience FFXIV was to "limit" how much you could enjoy it a day. You can experience lifeless guildleve events every 48 hours, you can only level a class to a certain extent before surplus, and so on.

    I love Tanaka, but even with a years time, these same flaws would be in the game. Going half ass on areas that clearly were not rushed, but poorly programmed in was bad on their part. It showed that they cared more about looking pretty than being efficient. He said he was taking aspect of other MMO's into the game, guess what he meant was the worst aspects of other games.

    However he did good at where Tanaka is actually good at, producing "some" qualities you would find in an offline FF.
