Highly Notorious Monsters

Problem with that is I don't think you could have it all, people have asked bethesda over and over again to make elder scrolls multiplayer. Every time they say no, not because they don't want to make everybody happy it's because they know that if you add multiplayer it takes away from what you can put into single player.

Yoshi P's statement about a MMO being like a themepark is true but the context that he used it in suggested he hadn't really thought it through. It should have a wide variety of content like HNMs Dynamis, ZNM, and etc like a theme park sure. But if you try to split it into different types of gamers you start to split the game into fractions. If they push casual and hardcore then instead of saying having 3 dungeons for in a patch for casual players you'd have 1 or 2.

Each type of gamer would only be getting half a game whereas if they just made two games they could give both types a whole game.

That is the number 1 issue... Yoshi believes he can appeal to all types of gamers... I really hope he can... but only time will tell

As a community, we are definitely not making it easy on him...
But then the point can be made that the consumer isn't obligated to be considerate of the producer...
Yoshi wants us to buy into his product... share his vision... experience this world SE has created... he has to convince us that it is worth our money...

No one is obligated to do anything and people definitely don't have to take my advice... but I feel like people would find a lot more enjoyment in the game if they went in with an open mind....
And thats both side... pro AND Anti-FFXI

That's really the biggest issue, you're never going to bring everybody together. It's like thinking you could bring republicans and democrats together, it would be nice and easier on all of us but it just won't happen.

Tanaka wanted to appeal to all groups too, it's sounds very political like Yoichi Wada told them that's what they have to go do. SE's management expects the impossible out of the dev team. Like I said he may be able to provide content to both groups but it's giving each half a game, we're going to keep getting bored 2 weeks after the patch.

What is more dangerous than just going after one market is having neither market satisfied. It's like how in the game revamping we didn't see crafting touched for a while because they were working on the battle system. Fighting classes were happy but how upset were crafters until the next update? And what about the disciplines of the land?
