Letter from the Producer, XXIII (01/23/2012)

[Mug]

I'm not going to deny that I feel a little annoyed by that letter, but I guess this is Yoshi keeping his mouth shut, instead of giving us promises he can't keep.

Hopefully this isn't the only Lodestone update this week.

[Skies]

:/ You people are misreading all that. Let me see if I can translate the letters for you haters

"Hi, we've been on holidays, also I ended up going to the hospital, so we couldn't write a letter yet. Don't worry, we're actually working on preparing the letter about patch 1.21"

That about sums it up what it matters for you heartless, hateful and blind guys

yea. okay. so here's my letter from a consumer:

on Jan. 4th i went to work.
i think i had a tuna sandwich for lunch.
it cost 3€ (which i paid from my own wallet).
i didn't feel like loggin in that day, so i played Angry birds.
was still thinkin about if i want to pay the subscription fees.
i decided to do so, cuz i knew big things were about to come.
and - lo and behold! - the amount of available mounts DOUBLED within one lettered patch.

and to quote Yoshi-P from the last part in his letter:
"and that you all continue to enjoy paying for the game as well."

I love Angry Birds, and grrr now I want a tuna sandwich.

I'm enjoying Letter from the Consumer very much.

Anyway, the Letter from the Producer may be Yoshida's personal thing and he is free to talk about whatever he wants, whether it be flying squirrels or clock radios. However, it is also the most direct means by which he has conveyed information about FFXIV to the playerbase since he took the reins a year ago. There is nothing wrong with being disappointed about the first letter in a month because it is basically 90% "here is our Japanese culture" and 10% "talk to you about FFXIV next time". If you're interested in Japanese culture, then fantastic, but we have rampant, widespread social media for a reason. One would expect them to step up their game now given the first pay cycle has begun.
