Do devs post on the English forum?

i wish, lmfao

Sometimes I do wish they were a little more transparent with us, but given the variety of threads we see daily, yeah I don't blame them.

I feel like the state of the forums is an effect, rather than cause, of not being visited by people who are responsible for the game and care about building the community.

That's possibly the case. The lack of dialogue with anyone at SE makes people think the suggestions and requests here are falling on deaf ears and they feel like shitposting more than talking normally.
Naturally in that case you end up with endless bait threads and shitposts back and forth because they think SE doesn't read any EN feedback and just caters to JP.

this is how i feel as well. from the very start the communications on the english side has always been bad. we'd get breadcrumbs if anything.

That's not true. The Letter of the Producer was created purely to bridge the communication gap between the devs and us. The dev team before Yoshi didn't tell us -anything.- Yoshi invented the Live letters, the Letter of the Producer, and added Q/A for us to send in our questions.

We've never just been given breadcrumbs and we aren't being given breadcrumbs now. He gives 5hr+ live video detailing what they're doing. It's posted on the forums and the ENG website every time.

I'm totally down to criticize the dev team to improve them, but this isn't true at all.

Unless I'm getting confused with what you mean by communications and breadcrumbs.

from your last post that you deleted, it sounds like you are not "down to criticize" them tbh. while i don't think it's as dramatic as a lot of people are making it out to be, im talking strictly the forums (as this thread is about). yes, they communicate through live letters in a way, the complaint was that they rarely answer questions or build a community in the forums. and i agree'd with the poster i quoted. i feel like the forums have fallen into what they are simply because there isnt a team to help build the community. we get trolls who aren't removed, we get confused players asking questions and rely on the community to give unofficial answers. i remember when there was a time the GMs kept moving troubleshooting threads and just dumping them in the general board and we had to help the players ourselves.

so yeah, i think its true. you are free to believe otherwise though.

It's better that they don't get involved directly for their mental health.
