We can't

I still think after all these years they should have kept Tanaka. Name shame all you want but he did have MMO experience and at least tried to branch out. And could actually try things even if they weren't that successful.

I guess we should be fortunate we don't get excuses like "We can add a few new player face options but it'll cost you a raid tier".

All Tanaka tried to do was copy FF11, which in turn copied much of its structure from earlier RPGs. Pretending that XIV has been objectively worse under Yoshida is laughable, especially when it comes to infrastructure.

Could have at least been a part of it to offer advice. Doesn't this forum like to circlejerk around XIV having new content and the first thing people pine for is content that Tanaka tried in XI? Which ultimately fell on it's face?

Take stuff like Diadem and the Treasure Hunt junk. It's either pretty on paper but garbage in execution or dead on arrival. Just doesn't last.

Problem with this game is everything is mostly instance based and most of that is wailing on sandbag enemies. The world itself is pretty dead and lifeless.

And of course we have people who apparently are super interested in more important things like glamour, butt sliders, customizations options to fulfill their vanity on their avatar. Real gamechangers to be sure.
