Mandeville Weapons will likely remain the same come 6.45 (Yoshida interview)

In the interview with YoshiP on 6.4 from GameWatch/Famitsu/4Gamer/DengekiOnline:

Q: Mandaville Weapon has progressed in the form of consuming Allagan tomestones and exchanging necessary items in both stages so far, but will patch 6.45 follow the same flow? Or will it be a new process?

Yoshi: I don't really want to say "This is what needs to be collected" before the implementation, so let me refrain from talking about it (laughs). However, in terms of the flow, the intention this time is for players to be able to upgrade (the weapon) while playing various contents at the same time, so please be assured that there will be no major changes.

it's ok guys it was only the 1st step
its ok guys it was only the 2nd step
it's ok guys it was only the 3rd step
surely it'll change next expansion right and then we'll be able to complain ? ah no we'll just repeat the same cycle, nevermind then

I'm reminded of Stormblood Lilies.

"It's just the media tour. They'll make adjustments"
"Guys, it's just the launch hiccups. Wait until the .05 balance patch"
"Savage has only been out for two weeks, they'll make adjustments before 3.1"
"We cannot make major job changes during an expansion. Please, please, PLEASE like the Lilies."

And then Astro proceeded to surpass White Mage in terms of Savage participation for the first and only time in this game's entirely history during Alphascape.

Hey, they did that with eureka, so it's just returning to the way things were, that's all.

Thank you so much for listening to the people who wanted a chat lobby instead of a game.

I can't claim to be surprised but it's certainly disappointing. The way in which the question is answered is very telling. I get the impression that the guy flies around the world being treated like a celebrity and is surrounded by people who clearly never expose him to any meaningful constructive criticism/feedback.

The 'various contents' he refers to is content any veteran player will have done many times over. At least in other MMO's there's enough variety to at least keep the gameplay loop less repetitive.

I'm sure certain posters will be all for it, but this is clearly not a game for anyone who wants to do something different than the same poorly tuned 'raids' over and over again.

His disconnect has only grown with time but now with FFXVI taking up the bulk of his attention he may as well hand the reigns over to someone who'll listen to players instead of gposers.

Just drop it in our inventory please. This thing isn't even worth the relic tag.

If they're not going to give us anything to do at least be upfront about it instead of pretending this is the content.

He’ll delete the game before he hands it over to someone else. The man wants total control and that’s exactly what he’s getting. He does not care about us anymore.
