Goodbye Tanaka ;_;

[Dannythm]

As DRK has just been announced as the first job without a base class, I only wanted to say good bye again to Tanaka, as his work, ideas and vision that originally created the world of Haydelyin that we love and enjoy are getting further and further, instead of being improved and worked on as they should be.

Farewell Hiromichi Tanaka, I look forward to your next AAA game, let's hope next time you have enough resources to carry your vision fully!

And hello DRK, probably my new main on Heavensward.

You have a pretty warped view of things. Tanaka was to blame for the worst features in 11 and 14. Tanaka specifically was the reason the repair and market systems were awful, moghouses didn't exist, maps like shroud were awful, etc etc.

No one is ever going to let him work in a major way on a game again, maybe a battle system if he's lucky. Aside from that, the massive grilling he recieved at SE had him excuse himself for health reasons. Likely caused from the stress of a board screaming at him weekly about him ruining their intended 10 year nest egg (FF14).


The only reason he was trusted with it was because FFXI provided SE with a massive amount of passive income they could count on, regardless to the idea of titles like FF13 selling well or not. The entire reason Yoshi was brought in and 14 re launched as ARR was to save what they believed to be an /all important/ investment. And now, its paying for everything.

Stop being delusional hater. Bring the real facts, otherwise put your casual rambling elsewhere.

What I've said is completely accurate, he was also the instigator of Pandemonium Warden and Absolute Virtue. How much deeper do you want to dig the grave about how bad he messes everything up?

I loved FFXI but I have always been completely aware of Tanaka, his style, and the way he tried to make games "his way". That is precisely why players were banned for beating Absolute Virtue any way but his. Its why Pandemonium warden made mainstream news after people spent over a day fighting it, its why everything was broken in 1.0 at launch, and I do NOT mean things like collisions or models.

People were screeching about all the things that made 1.0 fail even from its inception, and the official response to it was a notice telling people it was their job to test, not make comments on the direction of the game.

Tanaka listened to NO ONE, and its why he was unable to adjust and solve his mistakes.

For someone demanding facts you contribute zero.

I should have specified that my reply was centered around the XIV 1.0
You're talking about 1.0 right ? To me it seems like you were playing some totally different game. 1.0 wasn't broken, not even close. In fact it was lacking features
I played 1.0 starting from Open Beta and I clearly remember as if it was today, that the only things people were literally hating about the game were missing skill point rewards, mounts (remember those times when you had to level up MIN and BTN to run faster ?) crappy and slow inventory UI and the occasional disconnects that were more or less fixed after sometime. These were the actual, real reasons to hate on the game back then, even the copy pasted terrain wasn't a big argument on the forums. Amount of people arguing about 1.0 being a bad game wasn't that big and the topics of that kind were not the most popular threads
Then there were a few people like you who were asking for another XI-2, but they got denied by the 1.0 white knights and the casuals, who wanted XIV to be the new game
Saying that Tanaka is the reason why XIV sucked is simply outrageous. People were playing the original 1.0 content for many months, before Dzemael, Totorak and Ifrit were released. During that time I don't recall them arguing about the game being too boring or repetitive. Players enjoyed it, synthesis gathering or leveling up another class lasted for quite long. You certainly can't say that about the current "regime" we have with all these lockouts and meaningless grinding made up to suck out your subscription time
Regarding the new job and other new things original to 2.0. I'm all hands down for that, the game was rubbing in the old 1.0 stuff for too long. It definitely needs fresh things to start kick in rather sooner than later
