If they want to incorporate the lore, sure fine. Great even. Going up against Nael was one fo my favorite parts of ARR. Now if they said, "Hey, welcome to Heavensward! Here are your levequests, that's it! That's all you get. Also don't play anything but black mage." then we'd have some issues.

Could have used a better adjective. Consider incorporating "the bees knees" next time.

1.0 sucked. Leave it be. ARR is what we have now and it is better. It takes a lot to come out and tell the public that you are sorry that your game sucks... Hence why it is gone..Stop kidding yourselves.

Also, who remembers this? This is as old as it gets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6oiev4WTuc

Was during 1.xx alpha and they used an ATB gauge style system before it was scrapped for the stamina bar system.

The only part I'd like to see return is the lighting and reflections. They are quite nice in that old engine.

All I'm saying is that we can't ascertain what Tanaka did or didn't do for the game and what was really his say so.

By the sounds of it he checked out pretty early and let the other team members do whatever they wanted, chances are he pitched his idea it got rejected so he just let the newer team members take the reigns with minor input. Like I said though we have no idea what went on during the development process, let alone how much work Tanaka was even allowed to put into the game.

I'd have to side with Velhart and others who echod the sentiment that it's really just SE's fault entirely for letting 1.0 fail, they failed to listen to players during Alpha and Beta had more than enough chances to make massive changes before they pushed it out the door to a slaughtering by the media. Yoshida is as much a figurehead for the games development as Tanaka was, there is still a good chance that Yoshida doesn't really have as much control as people make him out to have.

Hell is anything it would be pretty easy to assume that the brass is keeping a even tighter reign on the game. Things like Cash shop really ring that as a possibillity and how most changes are as safe as you can play it.
