Tanaka made it sounds like they where going to be player controlled with housing, ships, and are used for large scale battles basically a guild in other mmos while linkshells where for more of a social thing.

Yoshi is making it sound like it is just a npc pearl where everyone in the city will join together to fight off some threat. /epic fail if this is right.

The whole talk about a focus on small group and public group makes me question if the devs feel they can fix this game, almost like the mentality of Abysea and ffxi... well the game will be low population so make it so everything is public based or low manable to let the players who will remain be able to play the game without the requirement of alot of people.

Honestly I want Tanaka's version of it if my interpretation is true. The linkshell system fails hardcore, it would need to be redone almost 100% and making linkshells lowman only is the opposite of what SE needs to do. If Companys a. re not going to be player controlled and being used as more of an endgame/event element I think the devs are wasting a massive amount of time on something that will not be accepted well to begin with.
I agree, I will be upset if its not player ran
