However, Yoshida did make a dev post saying that they're going to fix the retarded requirements for the moogle fight, so cool your jets.

But but but! But that only means that they didn't actually noticed how retarded they were until we told them!


And that's a worrying thought for anyone hoping to keep playing this game.

Exactly. It essentially means the power that be came together and said:

"Yep. This is brilliant. Excellent design choice. Please move this into the production environment."

You would expect that these design choices would never have even made the jump from concept to paper, much less paper to implementation - and there are a lot of those ? decisions being made across the last several patches.

So what it comes down to is subjectivity -- Being able to stack materia doesn't suddenly make the game fun.

Very true, but it also takes away from the game in that area. It's no fun realizing that both retainers are at 150/150, and my character inventory has only 5 spaces left free...

in a game that thrives on crafting, you kind of have to.

"This ingredient that costs 50gil by npc which I might need someday? I can't throw it away, duh!"

As a devoted tanaka hater I approve the title.

I am glad that you decided to warn us ahead of time that only nonsense was going to be posted from this point onwards.

I would say that too if I weren't the person posting xD I have about 100+ tier III and IV materia, along with a set of gear for every job (ALC/BTN included), some relevant crafting/gathering mats, food, and DARK MATTER

:c materia tab would be appreciated, as would the event storage NPC

MMO devs having trouble bringing longevity to their game without resorting to tedious tactics?

Sure, blame Tanaka. Might as well blame the Devil and retain higher accuracy.

They are testing the waters. Ifrit drop rate was one, this is another. I bet Garuda will bring yet another attempt at it.
