The Community Teams interview Yoshida in Japan!

I'm pretty sure Rukki is grateful there's no PM option yet. A lot of this stuff I honestly figured given how with FFXI they mentioned it took them (at the time) 3-6months to create a (set) of monsters, and that was with significantly less detail to work with.

When I echo that when they say things they take and they're not just sitting on their hands it's because things actually take time even for small stuff -- yeah changing dialogue and etc is quick, but in the grand scheme of things, this is why most MMO designers go for the "build off previous monster/model" approach.

Great interview, thanks a lot!!
