SE communicates like this:
"We decided to implement this in 1.19.. here are some vague details."
and 10min later on the forums
SPECULATE SPECULATE RAGE RAGE RAGE SPECULATE RAGE END OF THE WORLD

It doesn't matter if SE releases very specific details, people are going to rage anyway. Instead of raging and speculating, they'll raging about how much they hate changes and so forth. So there's no way around it, also as much as I hate people complaining about stuff before the full picture comes into view, the speculation keeps these boards alive.

as much as you might believe that you're wrong. Again, there is a good reason why successful corporations (ex. apple) spend millions on public relations and marketing. There is a proper way to present information to consumers in order to minimize rage, and there is a proper way to manage media relations. And there is a good reason why some companies have departments -devoted- to it. I'm pretty sure SE does too, but they seem to only work on publicizing the game when they want to sell it (you can't deny the game -looked- epic). And then letting developers, who are unskilled in the field of public relations for the most part, take care of things. This results in massive disasters like the surplus-fiasco which can seriously damage the games reputation (as it did). Its been proven consumers are easily effected by "crises." Or in other words, many people who experienced the surplus problem at launch and read about will view the game in a negative light for years and spread their viewpoint to others.

Just like this:

- Raging about Claiming system
- Raging about Parts being removed
- Raging about How the Materia system is toooooo hard.... Because it have 5 tiers and and can equipt 5 of them but each time it gets worse till your fully complete with 5 Materia..

They gave plenty of details about every one of them and look.. people still complain and that's most likely to continue to happen,even one year from now still complaining, 5 years from now still complaining, put it this way.. if you still don't think this game is good by next Anniversary in 2012, at that point I feel as if you don't have a life but to whine for no reason on the boards..

My 2 cents...
