Communication from SqEx needs to change

[Gyson]

In wow I know months in advance whats going to come out and they even have public test realms so anyone can try the new content ahead of time and give feedback. We've also had just about every major concern from season 1 of this xpac addressed and corrected leading into a successful and well received season two. The newest story was dissatisfying in the ptr build and to my surprise they actually rewrote the story critiques by the community and its actually pretty good now. I wish square enix had even a tenth of that transparency.

I don't know how much has changed since WoW's Cataclysm, but for the many years I played WoW the developers did indeed communicate, but that communication usually came in the form condescending developers who clearly thought players were idiots. Also, the developers would claim that the next update made the classes perfect and that the current balance had to be thrown out because it was garbage.. a claim which they would repeat prior to every expansion.

But, yes, there was technically communication.

FFXIV communication could certainly be better, but I wouldn't want it to be like the communication I remember coming from Blizzard. At least you make it sound like it's improved.
