That Which He Does Not Play

But you're not going to see them unless you click a button to divulge the contents of the post, so again, you're deliberately choosing to do so.



Is there a point buried deep in there somewhere? I am not part of any "you guys" that may exist in your imagination, nor do I agree with every comment Aveyond makes.

No, threads are different than posts in a thread. If you block someone, posts will be hidden but threads don't go away.


And you sure do seem to be buddy buddy with him, considering you show up in almost every single thread he makes to agree with him and disparage anyone who disagrees with his hot takes.

The amount of power Aveyond has over some people is quite funny.

Nah, he's just entertaining to read. Some of Y'all get reallllllly upset if anyone doesn't agree with him tho.

I think you're being rather disingenuous and are simply attempting to bundle everyone who happens to agree with Aveyond on some issues as being part of one big hive mind when that simply isn't true. Naturally those of us invested in the story and the idea of character customisation upgrades are going to pop into threads related to those very same issues...

You're hardly upsetting anyone. It's the equivalent of a fly buzzing around a room - an irritant, yes, but hardly something liable to provoke meltdowns.

Was wondering when you'd show up lol. Guess once Lauront showed up it wasn't far off.

Pray tell what is this mysterious other content in question? Because right now there's hardly anything to do in this game besides turning in leves for gil on the off chance things improve. 10 minutes every 2 weeks. Enough for forum access, but little else.

Regardless, there has always been a clear bias against the stuff that Yoshi doesn't personally play. This extends to nearly every facet of the game, with this latest bit being the latest example of that. He wasn't into it, so he let them release an island where all you do is click things. It is not acceptable.

The dude plays a Lalafell and female Raen, you think he would've let either race remain in the state Hrothgar and Viera were in for 2 years until people started going behind his back in order to clean up the state of those two races? Or how about if his favorite class was Blue Mage instead of Black Mage, would it have been reduced to a useless minigame you can't do current content with?

Yeah, I take issue with him clearly not caring about anything that falls outside whatever it is he does in game. The so-called King of Final Fantasy so far has had quite a performance this expansion. A decade worth of goodwill done away with in 10 months.

I always have plenty to do when I log in so that sounds like a you issue. You hit Series Rank 30 yet? If not there you go. You get all your achievements done? There you go right there. You have all classes at full 90 with all BLU spells unlocked? There you go.
But I'm certain you don't. Let call it what it is. There's plenty to do in game, you just don't like/want to do it.

Bias you say...wasn't blm garbo in CC when it dropped, you know his favorite job? Isn't blm in a tough raid spot rn? You know...his favorite class? Raids favoring melees actively makes the class harder in his favorite content so where the bias?
Also where did he say he wasn't into IS? You pulled that outta nowhere to make a point (that has no merit btw). And the crazy part is folks like Stormy defend it when you're off-base. It's like this weird fixation on being negative n matter what.

Would he let those races remain as Viera and Hroth have? NOBODY KNOWS. That's as far as that question should go because that's the fact of the matter. Put your bias aside. Also BLU is a useless minigame? That's news to me. What makes it useless btw? I get plenty of use out of BLU. Hell I'd argue BLU has more freedom with how it's currently designed. Do I want an increase to 80 soon? Yes. I don't need it to do current content though.

You've provided no proof of him only caring about what he enjoys. You've only rambled about nonsense that you simply don't like. 10 years of goodwill "done away with in 10 months"...and you'll still be here complaining in 8.0 about how "bad" the game is.

Meant to also respond that I dont think Aveyond was trying to troll bait with this thread. No, that requires for him to actually think.

I think he genuinely rushes into conclusions without actually taking the time to think about the information presented to him. Yoshida clearly states "has yet to play on his P-E-R-S-O-N-A-L account" but of course Aveyond having such a love to hate relationship with the guy will try to twist words in an attempt to validate his opinions. Its pathetic and sad. And I can already hear him defending himself with the usual "well screw me for caring about the game" shtick. You're not a saint, just like how we dont want to hold the devs above criticism, the same goes to the members of this community.

No, threads are different than posts in a thread. If you block someone, posts will be hidden but threads don't go away.

But all it shows is the thread title until you actually click a button to divulge the post's contents. So really, other than displaying the title, how is it materially different?

And you sure do seem to be buddy buddy with him, considering you show up in almost every single thread he makes to agree with him and disparage anyone who disagrees with his hot takes.

And that is what we call a reach. The only thread of his I commented much on was his story rewrite one. Beyond that, we agree on a few points and I will occasionally pop into his threads. I am not sure why, in your mind, that constitutes some commitment on my part to show up to each and every thread he makes or agree with all his points.

Precisely. The threads only 3 hours old and we're almost 9 pages in. It almost reminds me of a certain twitch streamer who has some controversial takes. People will watch his stream for the entire day just to get the chance to argue with him in chat, and it drives up his viewer count and overall publicity. Little do these folks know that they're just helping him become more popular and contributing to his success by trying to argue with him.

Yes, the OP had a point, but obviously you and the brigade go way above that and just call it "bait" and try and derail it as much as possible since you cant handle any sort of criticism agaisnt the game.

No, there was no point being made. Allow me to prove it by offering an analogy.

Executive Pastry Chef at a Michelin 2 star restaurant spends 14 hours a day planning and creating elaborate desserts. They go home and for dessert they have a piece of fruit.

OP: OMG that chef doesn't even make an elaborate dessert to eat when they're at home. Their desserts must be crap!

The criticism wasn't of the game. The criticism was of what YoshiP does with his personal time. Sorry, that's stepping over the boundary lines. How he chooses to spend his personal time as a player is not for us to be critiquing.

I doubt he gets that many hours a week to play on his personal time. If he wants to spend what little personal time he has to play on content other than Island Sanctuary, that's his business.

If Aveyond wants to go on yet another rant with their personal take on state of the game, then they should discuss the actual game and not what developers are choosing to do with their personal time.
