Letter from the Producer, XXIII (01/23/2012)

So...in after....oh, screw it.

Yawn, go team go I suppose?

Just when I didn't think I could hate parts of this community anymore, this shit happens. Yoshida's the director/producer of this game and he's been working his ass off for this game. Then when he makes a light-hearted, New Years post he gets this? This is a Letter from the Producer and that's precisely what we got. It was more about the team and how the year is starting, which is indirectly related to the game. Also it kind of explains why some news hasn't been coming through as quickly, the man's worked himself into sickness. It's seriously infuriating to see the players who have such little compassion for the people working themselves to the bone for this game. It's shit like this that makes the English community look bad.

On the note of the actual letter, it was nice to get some cultural insight.

im fairly annoyed there was no mention of how far away 1.21 is, in real terms, 2 weeks, 2 months, either way, even if its an over estimation, a date to look forward too is nice.

Basically this. But we got to see a nifty head tie

How dare you expect any information about Final Fantasy XIV in the Letter from the Producer of Final Fantasy XIV?

You must be some sort of heartless bastard.

P.S. to everyone preparing to revolt and attack SE HQ because Yoshida posted a cheeky letter: He did the same thing last year, stop getting jimmies rustled.

I'm merely expressing my only emotion felt while reading that letter. Disappointment.

Yeah they are human, blah blah blah, they also get paid to do a job, by us (now). I did quite enjoy reading about the festivities and traditions for japanese new year, however, would it have been so hard, considering it is the final week of january, to have 1 sentence relating to 1.21, specifically more than 'we're working on it'?

I work as a game developer for iOS and Android, I'm aware that schedules slide, it's called creeping scope and games are particularly susceptible too it, but if I told my clients 'I'm working on it' when they asked for an estimated date of delivery i'd be out on my ass faster than I am when I accidentally untoggle walk/run in turning leaf.

Even an estimated date for the next Letter from the producers would have been nice.

Umm, there is mention of 1.21 at the end of the letter.

hardly.

See you next letter (I’ll be updating the 1.21 list of changes to the game soon) or on the forums! See you soon!

'Soon' is not a quantifiable amount of time acceptable for someone wanting to know how long something is going to take

Didn't people complain when he pushed the patch back from end of November to early december? Since people complained he already stated he won't say anything unless he's 100% certain basically.
