Tanaka or Yoshi?

[Jinko]

(Of course, the real answer to all our problems: Hironobu Sakaguchi)

LOL I rarely agree with you but I'll give you this.

[Ostia]

Why are we even comparing TANAKA! To a mere yoshida ? This is ridiculous, it's like comparing Sakaguchi to the guy that made the menu's in Legend of Legaia.

I hate/love tanaka.I have no feelings for yoshida, he is just a "face" for PR.The team he have is still the same that tanaka had, but they have time now.Then again lately im leaning to think yoshida is worst than tanaka for the easy way out he keeps taking with the current fixes.
Besides tanaka is a legend who screwd up, yoshida is a new guy with everything to prove.And yet people love him, when he have done nothing at all yet, sorry no the small fixes could have been done without him at all.

Yoshi-P all the way.
Even if this game fails(I sincerely hope it doesn't), it will be because of Tanaka's vision, not Yoshi's involvement.

I think Yoshi is in a peculiar predicament though.
If it wasn't for Tanaka's vision failing so badly, I don't think Yoshi would be in the position of having to pay soooooo much attention to the opinions of the players.
With that being said, I do wonder what type of MMO he (Yoshi-P) would have been able to produce from scratch.

Yoshida for me since after doing endgame in XI when Tanaka was in charge I'd rather beat my head against a concrete wall until I black out than do that again.

Tanaka never failed We all know that CEO and stockholder hurry them up. They set a bold time of 2010 release and if that not the case then CEO still hurry them up. In gamecoms the game was what only 60% or less done? i knew a 2010 was to hurry to release. This game was better off release 2011 and beta testing it right now for a nov release. Maybe Tanaka dream would come out better. what he said was really nice only if we could have saw it like he did.

Yoshi-p is not a bad guy also but he pretty no one in the company but he doing a ok game. i just hope it don't become a solo type game.

Game failed big time, tanaka was producer = tanaka failed.

Game failed big time, tanaka was producer = tanaka failed.

Your equation (tanaka=fail) is simplistic and a feeble approximation at best. It requires more terms and variables to represent the true case.

[Zkieve]

I dont need a mathematical equation to know if something its bad something went terrible wrong and the person to blame is the one in charge.

Anything else is an excuse. Leadership requires responsibilities, if you cant put up with that , then maybe he should not have lead anything to start with.

Seem like your blind like everyone here who hate on Tanaka did not fail he just needed more time if you can't see that then your blind. i had enough with this topic there both good in there own way but i still go with Tanaka because he made FFXI and more then 70% yoshi-p is doing is tanaka stuff he had there for months. lets see how yoshi-p does when there no left over paperwork and he have to do it himself.

and for all we know yoshi-p could be a face and tanaka is really doing everything its not like we in the building seeing.

the one who need to take blame for is CEO but you can't blame the person who own the company so best thing to do is blame tanaka and he did it for the company.
