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

[Reinheart]

man... some of you guys in here I hope you guys are just joking

I don't see nothing wrong with YoshiP posting a blog like post in his PLetter shows us people who care about him and dev team that there is other stuff going on aside from the game. YoshiP had to get to hospital at times and you guys bitching about him not posting anything regarding the game???

He's been doing fine till now with all the game updates/information pretty damn sure he will continue to do so and deliver us all the good info.

I've seen other game sites do similar posts aside from their own regular game updates and I welcome those as well as I enjoy reading them.

For you guys bitching about this PLetter I really hope you guys are just joking or you guys really need to get a life.

I don't think White Knight is the correct term anymore in this thread. It's more like White Banshees. Mean spirited women, who have long forgotten what was actually said and rain vengance upon anyone who says anything slightly negative about Yoshi-P.

you can say wharever you want and i am not complaining.
but noone can tell me that there weren't 5 minutes
to write 3 sentences about the game progress.

Nope because people would STILL complain. LOL That's pretty much what I believe and I "think" others defending Yoshi are saying is some ways as well. They have already done this or that to keep the rage down but it seems no matter what they do, Yoshi and the team still get bashed. *shrug* Great example of this is a reply Bayohne gave to a thread and he was fu*cking BASHED for the reply he gave lmfao! And after he was bashed, he replied, "Note to self, do not reply again" or something to that effect. Sad really and tbh more pathetic in all honesty. Tell me would YOU still talk to people if every time you attempted to help them all they did was give you grief?

Oh please, it's more like people forget that producer letters are his letters even though he still has to be supervised on what gets written at times.

I better not go to any other MMO forum and see a community rep or dev act human.

I totally 100% agree... planes are just bacteria filled cesspools with all that recycled air blowing in people's face. Plus nasty people that don't know how to cover their nose/mouth when they cough/sneeze. I swear every time I go somewhere I end up sick within a week of being on a plane, I also usually end up right by the only baby on the plane. *sighs*

Well I hope that Yoshi is feeling better... I agree it's not worth him going into the hospital or killing himself over a game. I am patient enough to wait if things are a little delayed as far as updates go, I mean I have already been playing since closed beta so obviously I'm fine. LOL


Yoshi please take better care of yourself, you're actually making something good out of this game and we need you! <3




100% agreed with bolded...

and I also agree, I love seeing a personal letter from him now and then. It shows that he's not all business, and that he cares about the fans and wants to let us into their world. I love that he shows us whats going on behind the scenes.






He is the Producer and this is his letter, if he want's to talk about it raining he can. I wish people would have a bit more compassion for the people working their butts off to make this game what it is. What they do is a lot of hard work, long hours, little sleep and then all they get are people complaining and whining about silly things.

/facepalm

Swear sometimes people make me wonder about the human race...

^_^.

P.S. sig cats are great!!!!

Tbh, id rather he keep all this crap on twitter or facebook so people who care can read about it, i just want to read whats coming to the game personaly.

this right here, very very sorry ..specially if i come off as a dochebag for saying it but i can care less bout yoshi or the dev teams life in or out of game creation. fact i don't read the full pages they use and call newpaper herald either. if you want to say we getting new choco armor that is all i need to read and see a pic. if even. not full page of reading about it in some elegant fancy story, put that stuff in the game with full blown cinematics and then i can cheer about it.

all i really want to see is progress and up coming add ins for the game, every letter seems to start of with how he is sick or getting over a sickness lol. but that being said i still think they are over worked and i do care for them as people and think we are all screwed by corporate world lmao. but other then that they are still a company and i don't need to hear it from them unless they are on strike or something and need me to go pickit with them. i don't need to be reading yoshi p blogs.

Though I do think Yoshi-P should put this stuff on a personal blog, the fact he's sharing a Japanese custom with the non-Japanese amongst the rest of us is pretty cool and more importantly, it's still his letter at the end of the day so he does have every right to write in it what he wants, not what we want or don't want.

Date posted? 1/19/2012. Current Date? 1/23/2012. When are we going to stop saying "no information posted at all" and start saying "no information I care about posted at all"?

See bolded (because reading is clearly not your strongest character trait):

It's unfortunate he has been un-well, but using that as the basis for a letter is a cop-out when the playerbase hasn't seen much significant information since payments commenced.

especially when you consider that no major information has been provided in a good length of time

But Belial let me ask you this, if you had not received a Letter for another 3 weeks, are you saying that you wouldn't be going, "WTF?! Why have we received no letter yet from Yoshi?! ARRRRRGGGHHHH"

I could be wrong and I'm not flaming you Belial but curious if it's not possible either way still would have made people here freaking WIGGG OUT and rage.

No, I would not. See, I'm one of those rare instances of a person that has patience for a game known to be in development. Have I ever posted about things taking too long for this game? No, I'm of the persuasion to tell people yea, you have to wait, as the process they are undertaking to correct the game is a lengthy one. Expecting patches or large wall o' text updates every month simply isn't feasible, especially when the patches we are receiving are simply band-aids & small content; as the bulk of the work lies in a new server structure & game engine (not to mention map redesigns, and other such things.) But there are certainly folks here with the "gimme nao!" mentality.

Why is this thread so full of mad??? I personally wanted to see how Komoto and Matsui were doing since the 1.20 Live broadcast.

And this is what we get in return for wanting to hear about the game we are so patiently waiting to get fixed.
Apparently I am ungrateful (for paying for the game)
self-entitled (because this is a discussion forums where we discuss our opinions)
and blindy demanding things (because I'm paying for this game).

What makes you so entitled to defend posts like this? What gives you the right to call this place a cesspool. I don't see anyone bashing the devs or anything, I just think you are taking other people's posts to seriously. While I'm reading everything you say, I see you as that little horse/dog whatever thing walking across my screen thinking you are the defenders of the realm of the XIV forums.

Just stop

sorry but calling the letter *quote* "dumb useless trivial crap" is an insult in my eyes, also i don't remember referring to you with this post if you don't fall in the category i describe.
i like how you included my signature in your little rant thou, classy^^
