We Really Need To Talk About The State And Path Of FFXIV

[ko_]

Tanaka had the same bosses for 1.0 than Yoshida for ARR, so...

That follows what i said. The bosses wanted a change too. It was failing. Xiv isnt in that state so expecting the same results is Kind of odd. Now when we get to 1.0 type failing. Then we'll talk. But expecting someone else to do what yoshi did just cause you hate the current systen is crazy. The current system as flawed as it is is making those same bosses happy. That needs to change. Which is my point.

If more and more people point out that the current direction is less and less appealing, it might reach their ears. The problem is that it feels like Yoshi-P isn't even aware of the problem when you read some interviews, so even if a decision is taken, he might not even know how to "fix" the game. Funny thing though, he stated in an interview that he was free to take the game wherever he wanted back in Heavensward.

Finally, we don't expect the same kind of shift from 1.0 to 2.0, since the game is still in a much better shape than back then, but having someone new either as Producer or Director might bring something fresh to the game. IIRC, Yoshida himself said that he would be glad if someone else took one of his role (Can't remember which one).

This is true too. I'm not saying it can't happen, hell this game existing is something that shouldn't happen if we're all being honest here. Games that die don't get second chances cause suits HATE taking risk. So it could very well happen, and I'll cheer if it ever does. I just don't see it happening. Not with the current status anyway. And whoever steps up is taking a HUGE shoe to fill. I dunno many people can step to that roll and produce something fresh that turns the game around. But one of the reasons I say that is alot of the issues people seem to have are problems mmos as of late haven't fixed so expecting someone to fix those.. if they did.. they would be rich as jones. But thats just me. - don't hate me T.T-
