Many 1.0 players assume the higher ups used Tanaka as scapegoat, but I'm thinking it was more of Tanaka trying to pass the blame on the team.

Because exactly of those 5 years. Much of the work was already done and was completed to a certain extent, Yoshida just gave the go to salvage and finish as much of it as they could hence the faster time, everything was already there. Even late 1.X stuff like Hamlet was planned since the very early 1.0 days, and arguably it showed, companies too either Grand or Free if not both were also planned under Tanaka's direction.

Whatever 1.x could have been doesn't matter now, the game is dead and considered a failure.

Let that game rest, enjoy those things that carried over to ARR.

Because it it exactly the same team, I keep bringing it up because some people make it seem like the game is radically different when it really isn't, because much of its core base is still there. Sure 1.0 was a failure for a lot of reasons even if 1.23 did salvage it up and ARR did it even more, but the core ARR base is exactly the same as 1.0 except under a different direction. Some people should at least be aware of that instead of dismissing 1.0 in its entirety, since much of that entirety is still present to this day.
