Ok, before i go on to the primary point of discussion of my post i wanna talk about jobs. They quite clearly stated they are NOT coming in patch 1.20, but AFTER it. Stop getting your hopes up... Just like these people who ran around saying they would be out in patch 1.18.

FINAL FANTASY XIV Patch 1.16 Released (Mar. 3)
FINAL FANTASY XIV Patch 1.17 Released (Apr. 14)

We've had three real patches since the start of the year.. All the other little patches were tiny tweaks that really... didnt matter at all. IE: almost all of them were adjustments to their new targeting system that NOBODY uses. They just use the default one which was exactly the way it was BEFORE the updates. Aside from that, they had a couple that were nothing but 1-2 bug fixes.

Now lets see how often the game was updated before Yoshida took over:

FINAL FANTASY XIV Version Update (Sep. 23)
FINAL FANTASY XIV Version Update (Oct. 8)
FINAL FANTASY XIV Version Update (Oct. 15)
FINAL FANTASY XIV Version Update (Oct. 22)
FINAL FANTASY XIV Version Update (Nov. 25)
FINAL FANTASY XIV Version Update (Dec. 15)
FINAL FANTASY XIV Version Update (Dec. 21)

Above are the patches from where Tanaka was busy at work. Granted, 2 of those were primarily tweaks to the game and bug fix patches, they still added some new content. Even so, we saw MUCH more frequent updates when Tanaka was director. He didn't "save stuff up" for one big patch, he released content as it was completed so we'd have stuff to do. The last two patches he did (Dec 15th and 21st) are still probably the two most important patches we've ever had on FF14.

I'm not saying Yoshi is doing a bad job or anything, but he is doing a remarkably SLOW job, for sure. Some of his ideas are good... Some... I wish Tanaka was still in that position for.. Because I really don't wanna see them put into the game, and Tanaka wouldn't bend to every single whim of the whiniest forum posters.
