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

[Ashthra]

To each and every one of you going, "I don't care about his personal problems", "tell me something about the game!!!", "wtf is this, who cares about Yoshi?" you need to take a step back, get a crowbar to pry your head out of your ass, and actually listen to the callous, selfish, and thoughtless verbal diarrhea you're spewing, as if:

1) Your disgusting and self-serving opinions are somehow valuable because you've played this game for a year (congratulations, they're not),
2) Your playing a broken game is somehow, in any way, shape, or form, more of a job than trying to fix the broken game for nasty little ingrates like you (who, in spite of playing this game for a year, are consistently never happy with it anyway), and,
3) Playing a game means that the people responsible for making the game are now magically considered indentured servants, for whom no pity or personal compassion must be shown, because THEY'RE THE REASON YOU HAVE TO PLAY THIS TERRIBAD GAME, DAMMIT. SO SHUT UP AND GIMME MORE OF IT, CHURL.

Really. Really? Really.

Most of you need to take a fucking chill pill, a step back from this game, and pay the fuck attention to something aside from your own goddamned petty desires for about thirty seconds. Yoshi has overworked himself to the point of being chronically ill -- but we haven't gotten a detailed job list, so clearly, he's not doing his job well enough. The man was hospitalized -- but you only got a free Goobbue, so it doesn't matter. What the fuck is wrong with you people?

I just -- I cannot understand. My mind cannot fathom the black pit of entropy that has replaced where your common sense and human decency should be. Maybe that should be the next GC mission! A quest where the player is timed on how long they can not play the game, to go and look for their sense of humanity! What a thought! No doubt most of you would fail it.

I am appalled and ashamed to be a member of the NA crowd. Stay classy, guys; God knows, we need more heartless misanthropes and selfish asshats in the world. (b^_^)b

A tad pious aren't we. I don't care about / like Yoshida. It's nice to see the dev team is doing well, but that's not why I bothered to read the letter from him.

I read that as, "If it doesn't personally affect me or how much or little I may personally play this game, than I don't care to hear about it, because -- other things in life besides my own needs? Pffffft. Screw them; just gimme another hit of crack."

The man was in the fucking hospital. Though, I guess that's his fault for assuming the playerbase might give the slightest hint of a damn about him as a human being, and not assuming he's a robot that exists purely for your amusement. Guess it's my fault for actually caring about anyone in the world but myself, too. I must be behind the times. I GOTTA GET WITH THE PROGRAM.

The bottom line is that he turned a "letter from the producer of ffxiv, RE: FFXIV" to "Yoshida-san personal blog"

EDIT:
Yoshida in my mind lol:

I agree. And who does he think he is really?! Michael Jackson level celebrity?!

He hasn't yet turned this game into an enjoyable product and thousands have left the game leaving servers more dead than ever.

I'm sorry dude but that space is for future updates and you haven't done so far anything in your lifetime to make normal people even vaguely care about your fevers/drinking habits.

Go back to work because I haven't encountered anyone in the gaming industry who has as long and frequent vacations as you guys are having while billing for a complete shell of a game.

Well it's not the whole NA crowd, some (like me) enjoyed the letter.
