So his opinion definitely matters.
    No i was not singling you out specifically, if i had i would have addressed you as such. By and far the argument "Yoshi said..." is used far to often by far to many and finished far less so. I only felt it is ignorant and a disservice, for so many to quote a partial comment as gospel. You took the time ta at least add a link to the interview so as to provide the Full comment.

    I'll be happy to put this issue to rest when the last Job is reveled, regardless of role or number.

    Oh I thought you were, my bad then :P. Thanks for clarifying~ I'm used to reading people slyly responding to others without quote so that's what I thought was going on, I get your context much better now (people abusing fragments to get the story they want). Yeah I wasn't trying to say Yoshida said it'll be Tank or DD, just that we're sort of in the air right now. That was all :3.

    I'll play Samurai regardless if it's tank or DD so the role isn't that important to me, but if tank I would like to see a Katana wielding DD at some point later then - people been posting dual wielding Samurai and stuff I don't care, anything is good. Perhaps one job is Katana and scabbard, and the other is two Katanas or Odachi/Nodachi (big freaking two handed Katanas).

    Can't wait till the event, it'll be exciting to see what they reveal - and also to see what the forums will do hehe.

    Pretty dramatic and ignorant statement you have here. Not everyone is being ignorant when they cannot recall every single detail of an article they read a year and a half ago. Not everyone is being malicious and trying to get the story they want, as you are implying. Some people, myself included, simply remember the general idea surrounding something they read in the past.

    But, hey why doesn't it surprise me someone here would try to villainize something that was written with no ill intentions.

    Dramatic is a matter of opinion, ignorant is a statement that is unfortunately true. You obviously have access to the internet so you have the very same tools that i do to confirm your statements. The ability to conduct research is a skill taught to grade schoolers (information easy enough to gain with in two minutes), so yes i will vilify that laziness/ignorance, i mean your only misrepresenting another person by stating their comment partially to strengthen your view point.

    If people can't remember the statement properly and don't want to search for it they shouldn't go around claiming "Yoshi says".

    That seems like a pretty fair request to me.
