...which I do not doubt will be coming in 1.19 and beyond! But sometimes I do wonder whether FFXIV will ever truly grow into a game worthy of the Final Fantasy name So far, the game is pretty unimaginative.
Tanaka explained what happened to the games growth, he said he kept getting new idea and instead of adding them right away they kept saying that will be good to add in the future and by time they were at their set release date they had all this wonderful stuff planned but none of it currently in the game. Which sounds quite dumb to me why not just add some of it and build up and this is the reason Yoshi-P is better fit for the position. He says he sees the vision of this happening and he puts up a poll or some kind of forum post and gets feedback from us and by his team. After he gets enough feedback it starts putting it into the game but it is taking longer because he isn't working from scratch he actually has to break the old system down then rebuild the new one using what is in play already.
