Welcome to the Final World of Fantasycraft

[Starlord]

Its cool he did this, and even cooler he had the balls to put it in his letter, considering how ravenous and obnoxious some people get when they feel their MMO-comfort zone is in danger.

I didn't think it was possible to respect Yoshi-P any more than I do now. Once again he proved me wrong!

<3 Yoshi-P

Yoshi-P just talked about this Only:

I was able to speak with the World of Warcraft, DIABLO III, and cinematic teams about CGI techniques, and game development and operation in general. The Blizzard guys were extremely friendly and open, and I’d like to take this chance to thank them for a very valuable exchange!

CGI Techniques.. nothing more.. nothing less... Just him talking to Blizzard alone ( one of the best MMOs out there that was successful) He truly wants this game to succeed. Alos, this game is NOT turning into WOW.. God once people hear FF talk to Bilzzard it's immediately WoW-Clone! :/.

They talked about CGI stuff mostly it looks like.. Just a few pointers Nothing game related... :/.

LOL Umm... did I say/hint to him doing anything besides what he mentioned in the letter...?

I was talking about other people thinking there was more than just that, not you :P.

I think that Yoshi-P talking with Blizzard can only be a good thing (fanboys go home), but in your own quote:

That said, as you've mentioned, "talking with Blizzard about game development for an hour or two" does not have anything to do with the future direction of this game, and people need to not blow this out of proportion.
