Sadly it's just the concert, but it's a start

edit: This creates a precedent which we must not forget

I know that, but as soon as possible is not acceptable, if it was said in a week, while a long time for something that we should know asap, it would've been acceptable and if they had to delay it for some reason I could've been more forgiving.
Considering that comunications ARE a problem not for the quality but for the quantity, I seriously doubt we are asking for too much

yeah charge the player base 36 dollars a month while communicating less, cash grabby enough?

So... a question, since Yoshi P has never graced our server with his presence before. What are these events like? Other than a mad gathering of people. Do they go to a specific place?

This is not simply communication. This is promotion. Big difference. Communication by itself would be the Yoshi walk in NA, which while this is similar, it has a different intent.

Yes, but as said this creates a precedent.

And strictly speaking those forays in the jpn servers were also promotions for the game, still if ppl can't see why this is important I don't know what to say

Except his walks when he joins the community are "random" vs this which is scheduled and announced, meaning it has a purpose and a limitation\; Can they break from it? sure, a slip up or two can happen. Will they? I don't think so.

We can't say its important because it really isn't.

No, it's a weapon for us to use.

As said this is a precedent and the fact that they announced it is even bigger. I don't understand what's so hard to grasp here, we can use it as an argument about communications with the community and if they won't happen again we need to remind them they come to us when it was useful to them

This would mean something if the outcome has weight. But it doesn't, lets be real. But we can agree to disagree, and unless this is happening often regardless of reason, aka yoshi does these at random in NA and EU too, us using the "you only visit us when you want something" holds zero weight.

Its no different than if they do a Full Active Time Event in the US or EU to promote something vs how they are promos in JP but they happen more often. I understand the home-front and don't expect equal weight. I just saw that we have the same gear design contest release because its something "important", but it doesn't address concerns.

We have communication, we just get the advertisements because adverts.

going on servers : saying "see, i play the game" like if others dev not doing it (not all right...)
It is more a marketing move than a real communication move.

FFXIV and SE, for some years dont comunicate, they only do promotion move. This is what most people dont understand. Speaking, saying "sorry, we messed up with this housing patch" after 3 years of messing up is not communicate...

I think, Yoshida's team was thinking to a way to make people less angry... After 4.2 glamour, Eureka, this LL, the lost of the translation, the 9 dollars emote. All those thing in 2018 that make many "bad speak" ...
BUT HEY SEE, he comes to NA servers!

Ok, just say you want to rant and don't care about what happens, I'll be more productive and remember this when time comes, you keep doing whatever you feel like doing
