He had what's coming to him, it was obvious. If you screw up, it's your fault, if the people under you screw up, it's your fault. If you and the people under you screw up, it's your fault.

We can only think that someone drugged him up, and put him in the office chair every day, with how FF14 turned out.
I'm not a fan of Tanaka from my FFXI days, but we really don't know all that went down so I don't think it is fair to characterize him that way.
