I want to buy YoshiP a beer.

Oh yes, because you've lived in japan before and know all about it. oh, Wait. No. You sit in your moms basement and watch anime/play J-RPG's all day and thing you have a clue what you're talking about. There are cultural differences though, and one that I'm particularly fond of is that in America, respect is given AFTER one achieves something. Not after they've told you they will, and shown your pictures and don't EVERYTHING except actually DO what they said. Until 2.0 comes out, I'm pleased to see the NA population remains objectively critical. Japanese players do too, but you know. I'll let you hold on to your racist dellusions.

*edit*
i know there are words misused and poor grammer but english is my third language so whatever.

She is right about it. Respect in Japan is given when you do something, not when you promise something. If you check what has improved in a game with almost 2 years old you will see less than almost all other MMORPG out there. Being a blind fan to a game company isn't the way to make these guys see reality.

What showed reality to SE was the hideous ratings and massive withdraws from players. And when the game was a mess there were the first white knights saying all the game needed was 3 months to bloom.

Hope is one thing, praising someone that is trying to do his job he is paid for is ridiculous. But some ppl get satisfied with promises.

Actually, I don't think anyone said that. Being one of those said white knights myself, I know I was saying that the game had some very redeeming qualities but a ton of broken mechanics and truckloads of bugs. I doubt any player would say that this game hasn't improved by leaps and bounds since Yoshi took over. It's very clear to me that this game will ultimately be a success. And you know what? In the world of MMOs, that's never been done before.
