Third party tools are a game design failing in a multi-platform game

I dont think you are speaking full truth. Did you really cleared these fight you are reffering to? Because Im not so sure about you speaking truth. We all know clearing content on console is no problem. There is no point in lying that you are the example, when not.

Also, stop thinking that Yoshida is some meta gamer. He is a busy old man managing two big projects. The only thing we know about him is he loved old hard MMOs and few old parses. Do you seriously think, he have so much time to min max his gameplay and clearing ultimate blind like WFR group? Naaah. He would love that, truth. But he doesnt have that much time for this effort. Any of the top FF14 statics that were in WFR are much better than internal testing team. Or do you think gamers, who are that good would not like to join the race, instead of just testing the fight?

The telling thing is that fights are cleared without balance changes. World of Warcraft, in comparison, has a public test realm that the majority of new bosses get raid tested on and some are still buggy or unbalanced when they hit live servers. Not to mention much hot fixing and nerfing from Blizzard over the lifespan of a raid tier. Square Enix do a much better job of just releasing a savage tier or ultimate and having it playable while also being a surprise to everyone.

Yosih-P works at a level in which a lot of his role will be oversight and delegation anyway, it's not like he's personally making and testing everything, that would be truly insane. I'd imagine the vast majority of raid design and development is entirely removed from him and it just launches in a balanced state.

Why are you taking back WoW. Do you have some WoW hate boner? We all are completly fine how fights are balanced and clearable. But we dont need to say "WoW have it worse" in every thread. That wasnt the purpose of this thread.

But I agree on second part. He is a director. He have small look at every new feature in the game. But he doesnt have time to be raid tester. That is foolish to think.
