Thread: We're getting stat allocation back in 1.20, right?

He decided to use a graphics system that would not last in the long run. While some ideas were neat on paper, he executed them poorly, deciding that the best way to experience FFXIV was to "limit" how much you could enjoy it a day. You can experience lifeless guildleve events every 48 hours, you can only level a class to a certain extent before surplus, and so on.

I love Tanaka, but even with a years time, these same flaws would be in the game. Going half ass on areas that clearly were not rushed, but poorly programmed in was bad on their part. It showed that they cared more about looking pretty than being efficient. He said he was taking aspect of other MMO's into the game, guess what he meant was the worst aspects of other games.

However he did good at where Tanaka is actually good at, producing "some" qualities you would find in an offline FF.
