    I am in favor of Tanaka's efforts to make a completely new and original idea

    I am strongly against Yoshida's efforts to change that

    Edit: Might seem off-topic, but it's not. Tanaka probably considered FFXI to already be what FFXI players wanted. He didn't expect over 70 percent of FFXIV's player base to be made up of FFXI players. In an article somewhere before FFXIV's release, FFXIV was inspired by newer generation mmorpgs that were already out, such as World of Warcraft, Age of Conan, and Warhammer Online. They did their research, they just didn't expect a large number of players to expect another FFXI.

    Tanaka had the right thinking: why make the same game when the same game is still going strong?

    The way he should've been thinking however was: how did sequels of other mmorpgs turn out?
