Yoshi P & other dev comments & statements

[Midareyukki]

see any comments about why it's not possible to do X or Y. Want recent examples? Take any comments made about vieras and hrothgars to which the answer would simply be "we don't want to spend money", and see Yoshi P's responses to the community.

Yoshi P is the face of FFXIV, SE would never want him to speak certain truths to turn the community against the company. The fact is that the company is always cutting things out of the game to save as much as possible and make a higher profit than expected, but saying that to the public would be disastrous. So why don't we make our "hero" say things like "it's impossible to do that" or "according to lore..." instead.

I like Yoshi P and he also managed to hypnotize me to the point that I think he's a distant friend, but not to the point of deluding me that a lot of what he says is not because of SE.

I posted a comment the previous page, someone went and did that.

Some of Yoshida's own replies do reek of corporate bullshit, and it's like he makes absolutely no effort to hide that what he's saying is scripted. I think Yoshida genuinely cares about the game and its development as much as he says. Some stuff is clearly feasible. Nut until he has permission to tell his team to "go ahead" or he has the funding to do it, odds are he's just gonna have his hands tied and needs to play the nice boy and not keep our hopes up in polite ways.

J'ACCUUSEEEEEE!
