Yoshi-P tells PC Gamer that he is "not shocked" by mixed DT reception

[Ritsugamesh]

'I knew DT was going to be a flop, but was quite happy to charge full price for a rubbish story, wildly undertuned savage, post-purchase destruction of viper as an interesting job, and the promise of some good content down the line. Please enjoy daily roulettes through 2 dungeons for the next 4 months.'

Something like that.

Yeah - I think Wuk Lamat alone would be an absolute disaster in that scenario - the "I want to understand you" mindset would've prompted a response she wouldn't be equipped to address. Koana, however, would very likely fare better... assuming he could get Wuk Lamat to shut the hell up!

The reason why I picked that moment is it highlights that while none of the leaders are perfect, they can all be taken seriously. Even the Sultana who was thrust into power as a child is more of an actual ruler than Wuk. And most importantly, my character wasn't the one who put these people in charge. If some old man put Lyse in charge cause her dad was a rebel leader or something, that has nothing to do with me. I don't get how YoshiP doesn't get why some people would not want to spend an entire expansion installing literal comic relief as the leader of a sovereign nation. Why would we do that? Cause she likes peace? Koana likes peace and more importantly, he isn't so dumb he needs us to carry his bags to make sure he doesn't drop anything. She's written like a toddler.

This scares me greatly. This is what people mean when they say the writing has gotten so.. juvenile and simplistic. You can have as many dead baby caves as you want, if you write the world in a nonsensical way it doesn't make it more mature.

Could you imagine Wuk Lamat talking to Yotsuyu or Fordola? It's hard to even imagine these characters are from the same game.

The idea of her trying to get Yotsuyu to reconcile with Doma because she "understands the pain of family hurting you" or whatever is hilarious and would probably result in one of her eyes getting stabbed out with a pipe.

This will be the stormblood expansion. Below average - average MSQ. Great endgame content.

If DT had an amazing story the only thing people would complain about would be cosmetics and job design.

but stormblood job system was great at that time.. huge changes from HW to SB regarding job design.

the worst thing is 4.0 story is bad, other things was from good to great

I would have liked to have her be challenged with something like that, hearing something so horrible like what happened with Yotsuyu just shattering her worldview. It doesn't mean she has to completely change right there, but it should teach her you can't just TELL people to be peaceful and happy because you love peace and happiness, and you certainly can't tell them to just rely on the love of family.. because many aren't fortunate enough to have that be a comfort.

Instead, the writers have made Tural (and Alexandria) a land of simple people with simple problems and simple solutions. It's the antithesis to what made a lot of the world building and tone of the MSQ so compelling, because it asks that the player DOESN'T think about it too much.

Again, it's hard to not dwell on this stuff when you hear Yoshi's response to the MSQ's reception and it's so disconnected from what the actual issues with the writing are. It doesn't inspire a lot of confidence going forward when he talks like a boss who intentionally will twist your question into something you didn't ask. I just don't believe the language barrier is causing that much of a rift, when a lot of Japanese players have the same concerns as us.

Why would he be shocked?

We still are all here after all these years of crying and telling we'd unsub but here we are.

Man is swimming in money, he can prob buy that boat he'd always wanted.

"Wow you were horribly abused by your family for your whole childhood? Cowabummer Tsuyu, but your moping is ruining my appetite! Anyways let's go have some skibidi pibil I'm starving"

I think having her be such a focus and someone in an influential position is a problem, but she's a lot like Emmanellain so we've already seen wildly different types of characters in the game. I couldn't see him talking to Yotsuyu or Fordola either. But it's his more responsible brother that has the position of influence, not him.
