This game is on a terrible state right now.

I was unaware of this, but knew and was hoping someone would point out if this was indeed the case. Like I said earlier, it is difficult for the dev team to relate to the playerbase from purely a development level, and immersion is needed. While I still think it is not necessary to disclose this to the playerbase, it is still very heart warming and promising that I now know that they do this.

Yoshida recently said that on patch days he'll log on and afk at one of the starting cities aetherites just to people watch or have the game noise going on in the background while working. Heck there have been people who are fairly sure they've had CC matches against him.

I would not be surprised. YoshiP has an impish sense of humour, I think he gets a small giggle at how players react when they see him.

He does come off as having that kind of sense of humor.

Sanna: havent you ever looked at his eyes? The guy is still a kid inside, with a wicked grin. He's a gamer at heart, you can see that in everything he does..hasnt it ever occurred to anyone that THIS the reason he has been so successful?

BTW the following isnt aimed at you

Watch what happens every time he travels data centres, he is MOBBED everywhere he goes. Apart from this negative echo chamber, full of whiners and perpetual complainers, the rest of the playerbase is having a blast, playing every day and enjoying the hell out of themselves..a fact this lot tend to forget in their rush to nitpick tiny flaws or forever bloviating because the devs dont do what THEY want.

Aveyond is unbelievable, that "rewrite" of his falls flat on its face when you remember the one thing he HASNT considered is whether or not what he wants is what OTHERS want.

OF COURSE they play every day, OF COURSE the game is tested and checked, doesnt anyone remember pre Endwalker where Yoshi said he played ALL OF IT start to end?? Repeatedly? The expac was delayed because it didnt meet HIS standards..at least he and his team care, which is far more than i can say for other companies.

OF COURSE they have private characters, when was this ever in doubt? I am aware of at least two occasions from when they had an interview and the devs discussed runs they had had...remember that "that which he doesnt play" Aveyond whinefest ?

Yoshi said ( and take note on how this was conveniently glossed over ) that he hasnt done it on his PRIVATE character, he and the team play test every single facet of the game, Yoshi got frustrated with Sylphstep...yeah so does everyone else. Im not surprised he hadnt done Island on his own alt at that stage....with the work he puts in during the day, when would he find the time?

Pre Endwalker...he was on camera, utterly exhausted, looked like he hadnt slept in days.

No game is perfect. No game will make every single person happy. Someone somewhere will ALWAYS find flaws or issues and start their interminable whining. Know what makes me both angry and exasperated? In general,.with this forums denizens?

It doesnt matter what the devs do they.............they will never be satisfied.

Me? Right now my character is in the workshop crafting submarine components for a friend, the patch intervals dont worry me as they are SOP for any MMO.

Im having fun every day....not looking for ways to be utterly and habitually miserable.

I guess we found someone that takes the forums too seriously.

Calling me a "white knight" and now a "paid shill for SE", pot, kettle, over. Remind me one day to introduce you to a seagull I once met...youd have a lot to learn from him.

"Yoshi said, Yoshi said, Yoshi said.."

Yoshi ain't here. He playin' FFXVI. lol

rant about people not being satisfied

Do you really think that if 6.4 came and fixed all of the problems people have with the game, that they'd still be unsatisfied?

I can't speak for everyone, but if 6.4 comes around and fixes the issues this game has, I'll be giving it the credit it deserves. I want FFXIV to be as good as it possibly can. I want it to excel. The game isn't living up to it's potential right now, and I'd like it to see that change. If that does change, many of the current issues are fixed, and the game sees genuine improvement, I can and perhaps will then be satisfied.

Calling me a "white knight" and now a "paid shill for SE"

If we're being 100% serious, I don't actually think you're actually paid. If I had to guess, the only person here in this thread who makes posts worth paying for is probably Theodric.

As for the white knight part, I posted an exaggerated caricature of a white knight, and you unironically agreed with it, and months later doubled down on it. There's no conspiracy for me to make. If you have changed your stance on that matter since then, let me know. Otherwise, if it really makes you that upset, that's your problem. I am not interested in 'discussing' this topic further.

I wonder what Yoko Toro would be like if they ever did some sort of Drakengard/Nier MMO.

The guy wanted the raid to have to restart if one person got hit in the hallway of puppets bunker if that'd be any indication. I don't know how anyone puts up with him considering some of the antics he gets up to just for a game promotion.
