He wasn't wrong for calling it out though, people wanted harder content then we got Alexander Gordias, that middle ground you're talking about is called extreme primals, having multiple difficulties is just silly. Normal and Savage are fine.

Its not just extreme primals, and its also not normal mode its story mode lets not make it out to be something that requires effort at all. Having 2 extremes isnt a smart or viable option. Look at how many people stopped raiding because of it. Majority of raiders didnt have issues with Coil, yes people wanted a more difficult tier and we got that with Alex but that left nothing for the mid range player and thats why a lot of people had issues with the set up.

There were more voices calling for harder content in 2.5 than those who actually cleared Gordias, so it's clearly a problem of many people not knowing what they were asking for.

We all want harder content! In some way. The issue is you cant expect people to be happy when difficulty is taken away for an easier version and then make an even harder version, leaving nothing in the middle. There was no reason for a story mode. They should have kept normal mode and had savage mode, echo and other changes come in time and that makes things easier. Or as ive said they should have thought about what the impact would be and had 3 modes and story mode only being for the story and no drops.

Not everyone wants harder content because either they can't handle it or they're just casual players.
Of course people aren't going to be satisfied with the difficulty because half of the players says it's too hard while the other half says it's too easy. The dev team makes the difficulty based on OUR feedbacks. No wonder Yoshi-P said in the Q&A he trusts no one because people can't make up their minds XD

First person isn't very fun in this game. It feels so clunky.

For content yes, first person blows. But you got to love mounting that flying mount in first person and just soaring through the sky in this prettiest of games.

I love how Yoshida tried to flee when asked for parser again. XD

All Im saying is just having 2 extremes does nothing and adds nothing to the game. They should have left it with normal mode(which almost everyone was able to handle and were content with) and added a savage mode, then added a story mode later on. You cant cater to every single type of player which they are trying to do and we can see that in every content they introduce to the game.

[Vexander]

I rather like the system we have now to be honest.

There was no overwhelming cry for Gordias-lvl content like SE would have you think.

What you can tell happened was that the devs got salty about how fast Final Coil got cleared and instead of looking at the bigger picture (i.e. how long it took the rest of the raiding population to clear it), went and made a badly tuned raid just to try and keep the world-first groups as occupied as possible. Now with Creator they took the view that while the world first types will blaze through their content quickly, the rest of the raiding population won't be as fast, plus the reduced difficulty will draw more people into trying the content so the raids still gets some mileage. With that said, I see no reason why they shouldn't add another raid on top. Make it like Savage Coil with titles and such, but with its own separate lockout.

The reason he gave for not adding a butt slider doesn't sit well with me. The textures would get stretched? We already have sliders for other things, including bust, so it's not like there's no way they couldn't make it work. At least he realises there's a demand and said he would look in to it.

Good questions so far, though =)

By now people should realize that the no Butt Slider was never PS3 limitations but just the developers choosing not to add it in. We could have gotten butt slidders in 2.0 or 3.0 with PS3 support as it would be similar to Boob sliders but for the Butt.

As of now it seems the no butt slider is just a standard they have for the game now so outfit development doesn't have to strain too much on different butt sizes and possible clipping issues.
