Dissapointed With The Live Letter

[Shougun]

I don't know, the tone of this live letter seemed really off to me personally from previous installments. Previous letters seemed upbeat, fun, and playful (teasing things for future content, showing pictures, being more gracious towards the playerbase). This one seemed more defensive, standoffish, and just really flustered.

Yoshi also mentioned how he asked us to be more polite with our feedback, so maybe that has something to do with it too. I can't say I disagree with him.

He looked drained, maybe just tired, maybe the just 'everything', but yeah looked a bit like he'd have fun relaxing with a beer than doing the stream lol. Hopefully he'll feel better and feel recharged soon, or we're just misreading the situation and he's fine.

Could just be a massive work overload, and the guy is like SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEP and then work is like: "SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!!! GET BACK HERE!" lol. /comfort Let's bring him our new bed mount for a power nap .

I wonder if when he says that feedback can be too rough if he's actually talking about us though. I imagine unless he's reading our stuff himself then wouldn't a lot of it get translated into core concepts and not literal translations?

#@$@# !@#$!@# @# $!@#$@# job !$@#$@# !@#$@# change.

Gets translated into "A number of English players really want to see changes to blue mage, and here are some examples they gave". Meanwhile their Japanese forum isn't always polite (and especially when you move off into anon boards and stuff like that), something that the Devs would/could read without a filter like we probably have due to translation and aggregate feedback reports. Not that I'm saying we have a free pass to be rude, I'd hope any relationship is mutual respect and even I've tried to adjust how I leave feedback since long ago (not that I'm perfect lol, but I've attempted to have things be constructive and just feedback).
