Question...is Tanaka and Yoshi-P working this way? (Read inside)

[Eekiki]

Actually the reason Yoshi-P replaced Tanaka is because he has MORE experience with leadership and production on MMO's, same with the rest of the replacement team. Go back and read the letter announcing the team change-up if you are unsure. I'm sure they didn't lie about that.

Yoshi also has FAR better communication skills. Now if you want to go back to the time we didn't know wth was going to happen because the producer didn't talk to or respond to any feedback, by all means keep calling for Tanaka back.

No argument about Yoshi's communication skills, even though everything we hear from him is filtered through your American Community Representatives (hi guys).

But to say Yoshi-P has more leadership experience in anything is absurd. Tanaka is one of Square's co-founders, and has been producing and directing games for well over 20 years.

To realize this vision, and in doing so, provide our customers with a better game experience, we have assembled our company's top talent and resources. Taking over the role of producer and director is Naoki Yoshida, a passionate individual for whom customer satisfaction has always taken top priority. Not only is he one of our Group's most accomplished and experienced members, Naoki Yoshida is also a charismatic leader possessing the skill to bring together and effectively helm a team which encompasses a wide range of responsibilities. We also welcome several new leaders handpicked from other projects to work with the existing talent on FINAL FANTASY XIV.

They said it, I just concurred

Tanaka wasn't always a producer and/or director. Yoshida isn't fresh in the industry either.
