What 1.0 and Tanaka did good

[Yrusama]

I believe the discussion was asking for things he did right, not what he did wrong. I swear I lose brain cells every time I come on these forums.

Gameplay aside, under Tanaka's leadership they were able to put together an interesting world, but because of technical difficulties or financial BS they weren't allowed to finish the story. What we're getting with Yoshi-P is just a bunch of throwback fanservice. I admit I love that sort of thing, but there had better be more original aspects to the plot in ARR.

Well, just saying 'Nothing' would be a bit bland wouldn't it.

I liked the basic concepts on what they had in play (especially the natural design) and the things like cake and boats for what they had planned for the future, but the severe lack of polish and content for those features really damaged the game. It's a shame they felt like they had to throw a lot of it away instead of working to really make those ideas soar.

I agree with a lot of the OPs points. The physical level cerainly makes a lot of sense to me and I can't phathom why that was removed rather than improved upon. I would have liked to see a mental level as well. I also really liked the interchangeable skills and I feel the jobs are poorer and more bland for their lack of ability to use this.

It was going to be freaking amazing.

I think everyone can agree that neither Tanaka nor Yoshida make the bestest decisions, but how Yoshida goes about things is way better than how Tanaka went about doing things. Yoshida's team has made changes I didn't agree with either, but at least they made things happen.

what bad decisions has Yoshida made? >.> besides your anti WoW bullcrap rants tell me?

Damn >.>.

Well Yoshida is probably going to do boats/airships.

While I know airships is all iconic to him, I think starting closer to the ground as a matter of large vehicles would be good.. lol

Also apparently there is a big interest in the high tech FF12 airships (Yoshida has at least) but I'd really love to see some classic propeller airships ;_; lol
