So... that spiderman shirt... (new job tease)

[Lewtskie]

I was meaning to say that they trolled in general about what was coming. Not that they necessarily put fake files in the game. They intentionally toss out red herrings for everyone to chase, to keep the speculation hype train rolling. Yoshida, himself, trolled that the shirts meant nothing, when in fact they did (for HW). I learned early on (with FFXI) that they love to throw out random information for us to chase. They've had more fun with it on this game, however.

I've come to understand that while Yoshi likes to JOKE with the playerbase, he >personally< has never aimed to mislead anyone. If anything is found or "not found" in the data files, it would be wholly on the devs/programmers. Also, He had no involvement with FFXI, what they did has no relation to anything he does now.

He loves the players, and wants them to speculate and theorycraft, but he has never just thrown out random information to screw with us.

The fact that he was wearing a Scarlet Witch shirt was completely the opposite of vague.

I think the one that was ultimately vague was the 007 shirt. Even after the gun pose he did, I don't think anyone could have imagined us getting Machinist specifically. And I'm just imagining how simple and blunt the Spiderman shirt really is and how stupid some of us are gonna feel when he pieces it all together.
