What is going on with Square Enix and the 14 team?

[TaleraRistain]

Ah yes, how unreasonable we were for hearing them say they're open to feedback and that these races would have stuff added to them over time and feeling upset that those additions barely amount to anything. How utterly unreasonable we were for saying "Thank you for your hard work, we love this, can we please have more and perhaps better like all the other races you've made thus far have had?".

Totally unreasonable!

Square Exec: Haven't we made it clear to them we didn't want to add anything? Guh, just for that there won't be Male Viera. N-Not that we ever wanted to, we made that abundantly clear. Isn't that right Taro-san? ...Taro-san why are you putting rabbit ears on that male character? Stop that!

Edit: if that's the case, y'all need to stop begging for class changes too. How many times has Yoshida told you your class was fine? Suck it up, you got your answer, asking for anything further is unreasonable. Unreasonable, I say!!

"I realize you've tried to be straightforward with us about the difficulties of implementing X or Y. But I would like to show my support behind implementing X or Y"

Reasonable feedback and acknowledges what has been stated in the past while still asking for the possibility to be left open. But people aren't doing that. As Sturm pointed out, they're demanding, not asking.

Several years of asking got them years pf brush off comments and earless hairstyles. Demanding got them an apology in, what, a month? Can't blame Hroths for the tone shift, lighting a fire under SE is regularly the only way to get them to shift gears with this game.

And that one apology didn't come across as an apology at all. This is how it sounded. "Oh. Well, I didn't know what you guys wanted, but we can maybe add some new hairstyles with the ears at some point if you guys want." All while looking annoyed. Yeah, well, try being us for 3 years my good sir. After that passive aggressiveness I'm done playing nice.

The classic Do and then apologize rather than ask and then do.
