    Yoshi P & other dev comments & statements

    They made a lot of these over the years on why X reason can or cannot happen or it still being planned for the future.

    Or why X reason was added or removed.

    I noticed sometime we get users here that are not aware of those comments (including myself), should there be a pinned topic to archive all this or is there a site that has compiled all of these?

    Honestly a lot of these statements don't mean much.

    We were never supposed to get more glamour dresser space, but it eventually got doubled.

    We we never supposed to get more glam set slots, we got them.

    Stuff that was said years ago can change tomorrow.

    Stuff they say usually changed later on and come off as empty words. Sometimes they even lie. Something something Atma grinds, PLD will never block magic, we will definitely fix Parry, we listen to our players and definitely won't prune the wrong skills etc.

    Yoshi-P actually does that many interviews that a list of them would span taller than mount everest and probably greater than the distance between the sun and pluto.

    In the media tour he did them all day long and he did them for a few days running, all day, when he attended gamescom and similar events. Some of them are in japanese. He does them without these events through the year as well. Many of his comments are from the 72 live letters which involve him speaking for hours, 14-hour broadcasts, random live streams he has done such as patch note reading or doing savage or information released on the lodestone.

    He does a lot of interviews. If there is any question you have, the chances are, he has answered it before sometime in the last 10 years. And that is why when almost any question gets asked here I can recall an answer he gave on the subject.

    what people forget is that Yoshi P is not their friend. He doesn't even know the players as it's impossible. He might be the cutest, kindest, and whatever it is that makes it seem like he's a friend, but in the end, he's an employee of a company, and companies lie.

    Yoshi P has said many things, and many of them have proven false over time.

    I don't know what this is about lying. I've not seen anything in the interviews that turned out to be a lie. Usually he tells us things that he is working on and then we see it within the following 3 years of that interview. He teased data center travel vaguely (and we got it) and he teased the captain rank vaguely (and we got it). The arguments about glamour dresser space were most likely explaining that it was difficult to increase storage space and that it can't be done without adding some more storage to the data center. There have been a number of hardware maintenance since every interview that this has been discussed so that the dresser space could be increased. Sometimes he says things that he believes at the time and changes his mind based on the feedback, such as displaying the powerful mark message.

    These interviews are also subject to translation errors or can be misinterpreted.

    The whole storage thing I find pretty laughable if players can create a bunch of FCs, rank up to max and get 50 storage slots per tab. Up to 5 now I think for 250 slots per FC.

    If players on average made a boatload of small private FCs you suddenly have a ridiculous amount of storage space.

    So the whole glamour dresser limitation thing falls flat on it's face.

    When it comes to lying it very much is about bullshit and promises over the game's life.

    Part of it is not so much lying but the situation changes. Years ago Yoshi P claimed Blue Mage just couldn't happen in XIV and yet here we are.

    Other early example is that there were no plans to make Female Roegadyn...that happened due to community backlash. Which happened again with Viera. And now Hrothgar.

    I still think the best thing was him stalling over the whole fix parry over the entirety of 3.0 just for him to go lol removed it after a whole year.

    And don't get me started on the housing lottery system. If it's a lottery you shouldn't even have to pay gil for it since the chance of winning is so low. It's just a bad system.

    ----------

    That said the game is not terrible and is quite good so I think that the community should criticize the dev team where it's due such as job balance and the AWFUL treatment of Hrothgar BUT I also think the community shouldn't go out of their way to bring out pitchforks and have a blood feud either.

    If there is one thing I've learned, it's that in order to make major changes to stats or jobs, they feel they have to wait until the next expansion.

    Cross-class skills were always strange, but they didn't remove them until 4.0. Bowmage was a disaster, but they didn't fix it until 4.0. MCH needed to change to be as good as BRD, but it didn't until 5.0.

    Waiting 2 years to fix a problem feels like they are "stalling" but development is a slow process and over the years I have slowly understood this better.

    Cross-class was a poor man's version of taking a sub job in other FF games which only works if you have a job system that interacts with each other which it doesn't here. It could but it just doesn't.

    I think the more critical members of the playerbase might be more understanding if they were honest about why they change things. Especially in their patch notes.

    Hopefully their next decision is getting rid of the stupid locked by class glam!
