    Its not an issue of how hard their working, or delays or patch dates...
    Its about PR...
    and right now... Bad PR is bad
    Problem with that is, once he does it once or twice people start expecting it. When people start expecting it and shit hits the fan and he delivers it at his original estimated time, instead of being early people go into a frenzy complaining "Well he could do it before so why can't he do it all the time, we want it now like the ungrateful bigots we are."

    The fact Yoshi and his team even communicates with estimates, info, and data on a regular basis is a Godsend compared to the crap people put up with on the FF11 forums. He doesn't pull the surprisingly ultra-vague, poorly worded, highly misinterpreted info, while flipping even the JP community the bird like Tanaka and his team tends to pull. And I therefor am Thankful Yoshi and his team are being so upfront about delays, info, and such.

    that is an acceptable PR risk... but being behind every "Approximate" date is a PR nightmare
