Mark of Tanaka

[Ilean]

I was expecting a catchier thread title.

As a devoted tanaka hater I approve the title.

Been said many times before but I can't stop: For a patch that was supposed to act as the final little nudge that would convince the players to start paying a monthly fee 1.20 was almost a joke.

I seriously wonder: What kind of people is leading this game? How can they be so disconnected from the most basic consensus of what is fun and what is tedious in a videogame?

The fact that they need to make changes to the content barely a week after release is the worst part, seriously, because it means that the next morning after the patch the boss devs went into their little meeting room, gathered around a PC and waited while Yoshida loaded the boards then all screamed at once in genuine surprise "HOLY CRAP THEY HATED IT! WHAT WENT WRONG?".

Edit: Someone please make a fall of adolf parody of that. "All of those who haven't got the Ifrit weapon they want most please leave the room"


If they can't at least tell what most of the players are absolutely going to hate maybe they shouldn't be designing games.


It takes a genius to tell what everyone is gonna love but to tell what everyone will hate you only need common sense.
