It appears Japanese players are in agreement.

Maybe we can look forward to yet another apology 'letter' from Yoshi, with feigned tears and everything.

They're beginning to become a bit of a quarterly tradition.

The sad thing is, Square will end up winning back quite a few people after everyone rallies behind Yoshi and says that "He understands us! He's a gamer! Unlike every other company he cares about his customers! C'mon guys, let's give it up for Yoshi-P!".

The crocodile tears meant nothing before, and they'll mean nothing this time. I don't want apologies, or tears, or promises.. i want them to actually -do- something; Actions speak far louder than words after all, and unfortunately they've been shouting all the wrong things lately.

More NA/EU players read the forums in any given day. Every third NA/EU player, though, feels they have to make a new thread instead of just consolidating their opinions into one common thread.

I'd say that's more because a lot of threads on the English forums get derailed (which, ironically, i'm contributing to in this post. >.>) or arguments on the issue start, so people think that making a new topic might be better than putting a comment at the end of a thread that won't be read.

Funny thing is people where swearing it was a minority complaining...yeah right

People will always say it's the "minority" if it's something they disagree with; A lot of people attempt to marginalize every argument without even realizing it. :P
