"oh I should really listen to them." FINALLY!
but all of that is over and done with. Tanaka learned his lesson, he is finally implementing things that made XI unappealing to some appealing so as to widen the market. That is all I am saying, not saying he can't make a great world and put it into a single player world experience, but he never understood how to handle fan input to improve his games.

Edit: he was also one of the original creators of FF1, again I like all his past accomplishments thats why I only mentioned FFXI's timeline, because he never listened to his fans, which in an MMO you need to do.

Edit of the Edit: P.S. Happy Oct 21, 2011 everyone!!!! Earth Apocalypse 3.0 per Harold Camping happening currently!!!! People are all waking up worldwide you say?!?!?! Damn you Harold I want my zombies!!!!!
Actually, Tanaka isn't implementing anything right now... you know.. since he was replaced by Yoshi-P.
