Omg did you just find out that Square Enix timegates to extend the shelf life of content types that actually only give you a week of content.I quite literally just started Island Sanctuary two weeks ago, and still not rank 12. I don't say that because there is so much content that I could not get around to it. I say that because there is no effin way anyone can get to rank 12 in a week. I guess, technically you could but man that would be an extremely tedious process that would drive most insane.
More examples: Gearing up to BiS. Maxing out beast tribes. Max out a custom deliveries NPC. Growing certain crops such as Thav onions or Jute. Getting to seven figure gil. Obtain all items from Faux Hollows. Obtain all TT cards. Close all fishing holes.
Some content has no finish line such as: Wonderous Tales. Glamour chasing. Playing in a performance band. Role Play. Helping other players clear difficult duties. Soloing duties.
Your exaggerations aside, getting bored easily and not being able to find replay value with the given content is not the same as lack of content.
Yes but you see there are many obvious in your face kind of problems for months if not years, and you’re telling me he can’t possibly oversee that? After months? Years of complaints?
Then what IS his job?
It is impossible that he can’t see things after all this time unless he doesn’t care to see them.
Don’t get me wrong I love the game, Im still having fun otherwise I wouldn’t be here still paying for it but Im not going to completely simp over it when let’s be honest, there are things that need fixing since a long time and they aren’t getting fixed and Im not sure how long I can keep excusing it with “he’s busy with other games” nor should that be an excuse.
Hrothgar are behind like hell. Viera aren’t getting hats for YEARS when modders release those hats in practically a day after the hats are in game, I don’t know how to excuse that nor should that be excused.

I mean he's not busy with other games really, 16 is done now it went gold and beforehand he was a producer...not a director so he was probably quite hands off with it cause he picked the team he believes in to get the job done. Im not going to deny the beast races are behind and should be up to snuff now but when they have X amount of resources to use they are choosing to work on things that will bring in more players basically. Why spend all this time on a visual update or QoL to all the base game etc...simple increase the threshold of newcomers into the game. Oh the game looks better that's more people (as fickle people are on visuals) oh I heard ARR-SB has been streamlined or I can get through the story mostly with AI blah blah I get what they have done. If fanfest comes and they announce a same old same old...then we will be in more of the same boat but till July in this instance il remain neutral to it all.Yes but you see there are many obvious in your face kind of problems for months if not years, and you’re telling me he can’t possibly oversee that?

Darnit. If anyone knows how to make the actual gif show that would be awesome.

His job as director is to steer the game into profitability, something he's done. Game's bottom line is doing great. I doubt SE or the shareholders care if a hairstyle or hat is missing when the bottom line is doing well.Yes but you see there are many obvious in your face kind of problems for months if not years, and you’re telling me he can’t possibly oversee that?

I generally use tenor for linking gifs, they seem to work well: (just put the img tags around it)https://giphy.com/gifs/mrw-mods-bethesda-vX9WcCiWwUF7G

Of course he's going to be a micromanager back then. He got asked to save a dumpster fire that's somehow floating along in a lava flow in a short period of time and then make sure it's a success. It probably was part of why we had that unexpected lul between 3.0 and 3.1. It'd of been like if XI devs had to put out all of the base game and RotZ all at the same time. Then release it to NA the next year. You're going to want to stick the landing. I'm surprised they managed a 3/3.5 month release schedule for as long as they did.Bruh if you don't know why people think that then just take the L and move on.
If you actually care watch noclip. He was purportedly a micromanager for a while, and people just stuck with that image of him despite increasingly many instances of him not knowing how the game works anymore or how his personal wishes got overriden just months after.
The change is gradual when you're talking about a 10 year old game but if you go back to one of the very first live letters the difference is night and day. Nowadays he's probably literally unaware of half this game's problems when that's just not true during ARR.
