    I would like to touch on my Yoshi comment a little more. I do not by any means believe all of his ideas are bad, and I think a year ago he brought a much needed breath of fresh air to the game. He also brought a face and a voice to the community, these were all things we needed. I feel XIV in the original form, while quite dry and empty in most respects, brought very original ideas to the genre, ideas that we never got to see fleshed out fully and probably never will. I want to see more of YoshiP's original ideas.
    you mean mr. Tanaka´'s original ideas. it may be a bad decision to have got ridd of him. he was restrained by bad system & design and deadline. we need him back.

    I think it's a mixture. I do like that Yoshida's giving a face to the community, opening pathways of communication between developer and end user, and cleaning up the game mechanics. There are some overarching Tanaka policies, judging by the particular titles he's overseen as producer, that really make me scratch my head. I understand the concept behind implementing certain ideas but to not refine them to a reasonable level by taking player feedback into suggestion was incredibly frustrating.

    I think, conceptually, vanilla XIV could have been a masterpiece. Judging from seven years in XI though, out of touch, seems to be an understatement. A major issue for me is the GUI and I don't think the team at SE is really capable of creating a very fluid one that balances usability with interactivity. Unfortunately that's the major problem with a lot of these ad hoc changes and I don't blame Yoshida for pressing the reset button. I'm just going to miss fully customizing my character. Hopefully though I can at least fully customize my UI as that's been a promise that they still haven't kept since the game's E3 showing in 09'.
