Tanakas vision of the game was not FFXI-2, nor that was what I wanted, personally. And I'm not saying 1.0 was a better game, it was terrible and was lacking in several times, but the concepts behind, the ideas, were good.

I see many people in this thread confusing the concept and the implementation we got. I didn't make it to say the game was better and that 2.0 will be terrible never will I say that 1.0 was a great game, because it wasn't. I only want to review what ideas Tanaka's vision had that were interesting and promising, we all know how they were done, but that is not he point of this thread.
Yoshi-P pulling it off in 2 years...please.. since excuses were invented everything is well done.
