Regarding that Finaland Interview...

He saved the game, and in doing so SE's reputation, and for that he deserves a significant amount of respect. However I agree, it's time for him to either leave the FF XIV team entirely, or put someone in charge who is a bit more ambitious, but not entirely out of SE's comfort zone. Expecting them to take huge risks is sadly unreasonable.

Oh, I agree, he does indeed deserve respect.

--BUT---

he is completely out of touch at this point. He did good once and not only are we getting significantly less even though he is boasting about having significantly more resources and finances, but he found something he liked and is just regurgitating it patch after patch and its even loosing quality as it goes. We need someone who is going to be more in touch with the community and with modern gaming period.

The sheer lack of creativity that is coming out of the development dept at this point is staggering and since everything goes through Yoshida, its his responsibility to push the team to do better or he needs to stop axing anything good coming from them because its not "final fantasy" enough or he personally doesn't like it.

I gave them a pass to recoup their loses from v1, but its been more than long enough and with the money that is said to be going into this game, they need to show us more of a return for our investment. Esp with a sub + cash shop + app + retainer fees
