1. a lot less people do Ultimate than Eureka. Having "fun" is subjective.

I dunno if you've seen Mr. Happy's interview with Yoshi-p, but they were only going to give us Hrothgar until Viera became waaaaaaaaaay too vocal. The female Viera was easy - everything from conception to finished product was basically done already. But male had to be done from scratch. They still wanted to do Hrothgar tho. so a compromise was made. Perhaps sometime 7.0 ish we'll get the other gender.

If the devs had time to do all the suggestions you posted - i'm sure they would. but one of the main highlights of this game is a predictable, updated schedule of patches. i'm not sure a whole lot of people would accept a 6 to 9 month patch cycle.


2. Eureka is an experiment. It's a beta for what's going to be planned for 5.0. Actually no, i take that back, i'd say it's rather an alpha.

3. show me any mmo without a cash shop. we pay for a sub yes, but we get a better experience than a F2P mmo. plus the sub is hella cheap. i'd argue if there wasn't a cash shop, the game wouldn't be here anymore, or else subs would be at least double or triple the cost it is now.

4. skill is relative. also the game is fighting for other uses of people's time, other games, entertainment, etc. If you make this your only game and form of entertainment, you're doing yourself a disservice. If you're just *that good* at the game well, then congrats you've won yourself time away from it because hooray you've done everything. well done.

5. Believe it or not there used to be a boy's day in Japan, but in the late 1940's it was repurposed into Children's Day, and is now part of the Golden Week. the traditions involved with Girl's Day culturally have more importance than Children's Day which is why it's given greater importance. don't be expecting gender neutrality anytime soon when it comes to Japan. I can't speak for fashion esthetic, because i could care less about outfits in this game, but the art designers for the game really do love to celebrate the differences fashion makes for men vs. women. Japan is a very non-unisex country still too.

6. i don't main healers i just play them for funzies so i don't have a valid opinion on balancing. the devs have a tough job for this. whatever they do for 5.0 someone's gonna be upset that's for sure.

7. see back to number 1.


have fun with your time off. I hope you can mellow out a bit before coming back. I'm also not trying to be antagonistic saying that either.
