I never quite understood "listen to the miniority" arguments when guess what? The majority was in favor of the absolute freedom that the original armory system gave as well as the "favors/optimal level system" for equipment, only the "minority" was in favor of what happened to the class and leveling system.

Yoshida knows who and who not to listen to. If it's a good idea, he'll do it. If it's not, he won't.
