Goodbye Tanaka ;_;

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

You heard it here, folks! Lacking features does not make something broken! Is your car missing an engine? Don't worry, it's not broken! It's just lacking features! >_>

Also, do you not remember the massive amounts of hate for fatigue and the market wards? How can you forget that?

lol sarcasm

I do remember complaints about the fatigue. I also remember that people ignored it alltogether and just pushed further to 50
Market wards was a tedious thing too, though people were using their bazaar as main shop for some time. Then we got the search feature later on

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.

Oh no! His vision of Walking Simulator XIV has been destroyed!
Tanking EVERYTHING as a thm in 1.0 was so much better than what we have now, the class system was perfect!
Restricting the new jobs by forcing them to have half of another job's skills was such a great idea!

Bring back Stamina and Fatigue system!!!!!!!

The disrespect Tanaka gets here for one bad game that was rushed after working on tons of amazing games prior to that is utterly ridiculous.

Yeah, but I was expecting it,.

I've loved Tanaka and his ideas and designs ever since I played FFIII for the NES, he is the one that created the job system as we know it for Final fantasy games and one of the four main developers to create this franchise we all like so much along with Sakaguchi, Uematsu and Ito.

Even if XIV was incomplete at launch, I think any FF fan should always respect him.

And I'll always miss him on every square game, same as I miss Sakaguchi and Matsuno.

I respect Tanaka for his other games, but dont ask me to respect his work on FFXIV.

You cure cancer then get caught humping an animal, people will still only remember you for humping that animal. Bad images far outlast any good ones sadly, human nature.

It only takes one wrong move for someone to completely destroy their legacy. Video games are no different. In this case, the guy made two bad games.

And yet we blast game companies for one bad game after a bunch of good ones. Gamers are fickle I guess.

It's not SE that gets the blame in this case though. Even when most of it is because of the upper management.

On your edit!

I heard Yoshida followed the road-map that was already made by the previous team. Can't remember where I heard that though. But is it true?

FFXI was never hard. Fact. I you were willing to level another job and gear/use that for content it made it very easy.

All those things I considered being part of making something difficult.
