Yoshi P never does anything wrong everything is perfect....

This is saying a lot. On another thread I read "FFXIV is primary a Final Fantasy game, then an MMO" but it doesn't feel that way, probably because Yoshida isn't primary a Final Fantasy guy. It feels SE cares more for his freaking legacy than the game itself. Since 2.0 it feels they dismiss any constructive feedback, when some in SE should say "Actually, this doesn't work" to their bosses. I've lost count of the amount of broken crap we've had thrown our way.

They've used so much nostalgia from previous FF games to keep players believing things are better than what they are, but he won't take anything from XI (other than every freaking mob) no doubt because it belonged to his predecessor. Not everything from XI worked but the good stuff was fantastic and there'd be no shame in using some ideas from there. I swear SE now have players convinced that collecting minions, mounts and freaking plush toys are more important than an adventurous feel and epic battles.
