Am i really the only one that dislike Yoshi-P ?

[Deceptus]

They have, of late, actually been closing threads without even leaving the thread readable (full purge), such as the recent "What's your unpopular opinion on the game" or the like thread.

Given the objects of those purges, I can't say I'm too worried, but there is a bit of suppression, for better or worse.

At least on the WoW forums there's a Blue Message along the lines of "this is getting out of hand so we're locking it". They don't even do that here. It just poofs and gets memory holed.

18 pages later you have your answer OP:


You are not the only person who doesn't like Yoshi-p. Not even close.

Also may I say I really hate the "Am I really the only one who x" statments? No, you're not the only one. Stop pretending youre some special snowflake believing that nobody but you is capable of having different opinions.

You see this all the time and its just ugh.

So am I the only one who thinks the whole thread was bait and all of the people having a heated argument and throwing insults and swears at each other just swallowed it whole?

Yoshida is not an actor paid by Square Enix to fake tears and do some sick marketing.
He's a pationate game developper with huge responsabilities on his shoulders.
He's dedicating his life to make ff14 successful.
Who the hell are you to criticize him for crying when things are rough?

Also he has never mocking in an ill intended way the playerbase.
Its only the playerbase overreacting to a joke about an issue he is aware about.

Codeword for: They're not human, they're just a soulless company, that means I can act like a dick.

how about "treat the actual human beings working on a product with a basic amount of human decency" ?

HAHA. For real man, I'm sure yoshi p and the team are living comfortably with the crazy profits this game churns out.

No, it's code for "They're a multimillion dollar company, let's not expect the same effort and quality as we do for small indie companies". Square Enix isn't some tiny company that can't afford to fix things. Yes, we can treat the employees like humans. But when the employees underdeliver compared to what they're capable of, it's fair to ask why.

Also may I say I really hate the "Am I really the only one who x" statments? No, you're not the only one. Stop pretending youre some special snowflake believing that nobody but you is capable of having different opinions.

If the FFXIV community wasn't such a pro-Yoshi P echo chamber in pretty much every social media hub except the Official Forums, maybe people wouldn't feel alone when they stop to ask if the praise is actually warranted. For example, if you go on Reddit, you'll find nothing but praise for the dev team, and any anti-dev post gets downvoted to oblivion.

If you find that question annoying it's most likely because you're on the more popular side of arguments more often than not, never leading you to have to ask that. If you're of the popular opinion, you don't have to look far to find people who agree with you.

How about this. Devs or creators don't be attention seeker putting their name all over the place. I greatly preferred when companies just used PR teams and company name. No one gets mad when you tell them they are bad. But here we have almost quasi religious feel from some of the games fans and dev team. You don't think it isn't intentional to put faces on stuff for the benefit of the company?



Also let us take one of the constant dislikes in the game, housing. If an employee or team has had a decade to come up with and try to implement a solution, what should happen to person/group. If someone makes simple counting errors that led to stormblood launch problems what do you do? Somethings just come down to greed and that also gets greatly defended by the fan base. What exactly are people suppose to ask so they don't hurt anyone's feelings yet actually convey how utterly disgusted/frustrated with some choices?
