Yoshi P - Your next live letter, DT msq and the damage to the brand

[Dante131]

wow, people are still mad?

i think this will stay until something will change. and yes people are still mad and thats for good. People pay hard earned money for this game and have emotions to it, so yeah its okay to be mad

I mean... folks expecting some kind of change to story are not going to see it, realistically the devs are likely at least 2-3 patches deep into the story already. So yeah... unless they preplanned an alternative its what we got until next expansion. Yoshi P mentioned a few times they gave several story ideas and are kinda just tossing whatever with the story to see what sticks and if it doesnt it'll be a 1 off and try again next expansion.

my problem with Yoshi P doing that in expac and not during patch content means that we are basically paying for trial products, and they will lose players that way.

they should imo rather create a PST which you can register for free on where they test small parts of the stories and then when they see something is resonated with, they build around that I mean DT for me would have been fine as patch content but not as expac.

DT as just ONE or TWO patch content would be reasonable at least, but not this shit we got

one can even go as far as splitting it you go there and assist with the race then Dawn servant gets elected yada yada; you go do Expac save the shard Alexandria is on by utilising different techniques make it the mission of Azem to restore the different shards Y'shtolla finally finds a way to reunite with Runar or something but this of course causes issue because of something you accidently do and ta-da patch content you need to fix the mess you made by going back there and seeing that Zoraal Ja basically took control of Tural due to your characters unfortunate hubris and second part DT commences this is just as short summary but even that would have been acceptable to me.

They can't realistically just suddenly change things, that's not how it works. So I work in the comic industry and usually the books I work on are about 3-4 months ahead of the release date. I know some books I've worked on are written anywhere from 6 months-a year ahead. If a book I worked on came out and got tons of negative feedback well, there's nothing we can do about it for the next 1-3 issues because the next few issues are already done at that point. A videogame is going to be done behind the scenes far more ahead of time than a comic because obviously a videogame takes way more time to make. You're realistically not going to see any major changes for a few patches.

O they can do a lot for one thing they can rewrite some dialogue (removing certain main characters making them more a side character) as that is easy; they can change which person to talk to to prompt quests; they can remove bad voice overs they cannot change the story, but they can make it more bearable by changing camera angles and as prior mentioned.

but honestly at most I feel SE just acknowledging their faulty argument that Tural-merica will sell globally and everyone will approve as probably the consultants made them believe will go a long way.

Is this a rift in the community? Have they lost control of the narrative?


The only thing we can expect in the next live letter. It would piss people off though.

Please do not focus solely on the Japanese side of the Dawntrail production. Please consider the complaints regarding the English localization and its subpar quality. I am very disappointed with Dawntrail in English.

Are they still using Koji Fox? Man I miss that guy. Every time there's a live letter or something I get bummed out because we're not seeing him anymore.

[Astronema]

perfect example.
