JP: Yoshi P should step down, FF14 is a sinking ship, in response to interview

[Morphiana]

And if you bothered to read said 16 pages, you might have noticed that no one (okay, let's say 1, just in case I've missed it) is actually calling for him to step down, but instead be more heavily involved again.

Get off your high horse. You won't get extra tomestones for defending Yoshi-P's honour.

And in the words of someone you may be familiar with:

Meanwhile there's a guy requesting a team of writers be fired directly before my post here. You were saying?

And no, it isn't appropriate to call for people's jobs because of one mixed review xpac. Sure, you didn't like it, and I'm not a fan of it either, but there are people who did enjoy it (who aren't here calling for people's jobs because they're enjoying it), and there were good parts to it.

Yoshi said they'd try new things when players demanded changes to what they considered stagnation of content, they'd fail at times in their attempts, and they'd learn from those failures to grow and get better. They're literally doing what we asked, they warned us we may not like some of these things, and they asked us to provide feedback so they could grow / change / continue to try new things.

The community collectively got what they wanted and now their angry it turned out as they were warned it could turn out as. Instead of giving them time to respond to feedback they're demanding someone(s) be fired be it a VA, a team of writers, or Yoshi. All of that is inexcusable and reeks of entitlement. Storm blood wasn't great, I dislike it as much as I'm not a fan of DT, but I'd never be so entitled to call for a person's job. They can give it another go, learn, get better, and hopefully give us another Shadowbringers. WoW bounced back from Shadowlands which was far worse, Yoshi's team can bounce back from this.

And high horse for not wanting to someone to lose their job over a misstep when we were explicitly warned it could happen as they try new things? Nah, get that silver spoon out of your mouth. People mess up at work then go on to do amazing work later. If they get another xpac so wildly wrong then fair enough, but for now I'm going to opt to give them time to grow while working on XIV's new direction.
