More Horizontal Progression please

Funny, because 1.0 was just that and it failed. Hard.

This game was designed for the western market.

Hmm.... 1.0 had nothing but leves.

1.x - 1.23 which Yoshida turned the game into, which had horizontal progression, did really well especially at the end. I remember all my friends came to play 1.23 and loved it..posting all over FB/tumblr/twitter constantly..then 2.0 came out and they all quit after a couple weeks lol.

If it was so great, then why did it get scrapped?

It didn't. The entire time we were told that 2.0 would be a new and improved upon 1.23.

1.0 and Tanaka's thing got scrapped...Yoshida took over in Jan 2011 fully, and started a different direction with the game. We had this discussion before...it was either in this thread or another. ^.^ 1.x did so well they were able to start charging subs again...hence how legacy was born.

So please stop trying to argue saying 1.x failed, 1.0 failed yes, which is why Tanaka was removed..once Yoshida took over, it instantly started improving and bringing new players everyday. Big difference lol.

If 1.x failed..none of you would be here now playing 2.0...haha. Talking about 3 different games.

So once more, we have:
1.0 - Tanaka's team
1.x - Yoshida (which had horizontal progression and subs)
and 2.0 - Yoshida

Only one failed.

It didn't do well fast enough. Honestly. Honor, dignity and company names were at stake. That is probably one reason they fired everyone. They didn't keep anyone because that is their culture.

He is confusing 1.0 with 1.x lol to try to say that horizontal progression fails. I am trying to explain to him that 1.x Yoshida made had horizontal progression with a subscription which did really well. 1.0 had no content except for leves >.> See what I am saying? Maybe one person on here can understand lol
