That Which He Does Not Play

[Saraide]

I dont think aveyond is trolling but arent we jumping a bit to conclusions when yoship just talked about his personal account? Another game I followed intensly for a long time had devs use a multitude of accounts at their disposal including one account for personal use/PR.

There is also the next sentence after the screenshot that aveyond posted saying this:

I've been thinking about leisurely enjoying my island sanctuary life once the other content has settled down.

This is the second part of yoship's answer to the question in the screenshot.

Pray tell what is this mysterious other content in question? Because right now there's hardly anything to do in this game besides turning in leves for gil on the off chance things improve. 10 minutes every 2 weeks. Enough for forum access, but little else.

Regardless, there has always been a clear bias against the stuff that Yoshi doesn't personally play. This extends to nearly every facet of the game, with this latest bit being the latest example of that. He wasn't into it, so he let them release an island where all you do is click things. It is not acceptable.

The dude plays a Lalafell and female Raen, you think he would've let either race remain in the state Hrothgar and Viera were in for 2 years until people started going behind his back in order to clean up the state of those two races? Or how about if his favorite class was Blue Mage instead of Black Mage, would it have been reduced to a useless minigame you can't do current content with?

Yeah, I take issue with him clearly not caring about anything that falls outside whatever it is he does in game. The so-called King of Final Fantasy so far has had quite a performance this expansion. A decade worth of goodwill done away with in 10 months.

Aveyond doesn't do any actual combat content or play the game. You heard it here first.

My assumption from the current content would be savage. From what we heard over the years he seems to be a pretty skilled blackmage. The bias thing is a weird one tbh. I dont think many people believed that one announcement where they claimed that all the buffs to BLM in CC werent because it's his favorite job. But he also seems to enjoy the harder content in the game and yet the current savage tier is underwhelming.

Also what do you mean with useless minigame for bluemage? Blue carnival?

Regardless, if he is just talking about his personal account, that doesnt tell us how much of what content he has actually played.

This thread's just obvious bait. If not, then it's petty. Sure, Aveyond has controversial opinions and stuff, but this thread doesn't even qualify.
Though I will point out that he can indeed say good things about the game, he just focuses on being negative too much. That has happened.

He's right.

This just isn't the kind of thread for that.

You want to address the fact that Yoshida has let a lot of content slide under the radar at the detriment of those who would actively enjoy it? Content that he clearly doesn't play through? That's already been stated, there are a bunch of threads asking Yoshida to play Hrothgar, Viera, a Healer... But opening up the topic with just "he hasn't played it on his main account yet" isn't saying much. So he hasn't played Island Sanctuary. We don't know if the rest of the dev team likes it. Nor do we know how the man chooses to spend his personal, private time. We don't know if he intends to or not in the future.

Just saying, Aveyond, this is a bit weak.
