Excuses & Daily Updates

[Grimm]

This thread is now about the idea of Test server's so we can beta content for SE and see what is coming and have them apply changes then everyone's throughts?.

I wholeheartedly agree and support this.

It seems very smart to take time off actually developing the game to create daily reports for people that don't know the meaning of patience. Wait... actually not.

Information needs to be collected from the teams by each team lead, then collected by someone in the team and put in a form that's organic enough for the marketing team. Then the marketing team needs to review it, finally it needs to be translated, and the marketing team from each region needs to look at it again (just to make sure that nothing that shouldn't be said went by during translation).

And you'd want them to do this every day?
I'd rather them.. you know.. actually work on the game to bring in results then catering to some that think they should demand things that no other game developer ever did, hampering actual work on the game in the process.

I agree, I really wish the updates from SE were on a more consistent schedule.

Then again, I'd also rather have them do the updates right the first time. SE has already proven that things don't turn out well when they're rushed out of production.

I also see no reason they can't at least give us some weekly info or something, they have a year's worth of content planning up for everyone to see for FFXI.

Notice I said AT THE END OF THE WORKING DAY and SMALL BITS of info. Even thing's like ''everything's going along well no roadbumps'' Or even ''70% IT'S ALMOST HERE!''

Don't read parts of the post and alter it to your liking.

EDIT: Also if they can't keep up with four languages they should have region locked the game end of story.

I'm staying out of this one but I agree that the DVD was thrown together.

Lol, I just popped it in. Here's a quote from Hiromichi Tanaka:

"It's been a long time in the making, but I think we can say with confidence that FINAL FANTASY XIV has emerged as the game we imagined it could be."

I felt disappointed when I played the game

I like the book though..

I can never bring myself to write anything in the book, it's too pretty. ;_;

Lol. They should have kept Tanaka around in one way or another.
