Geomancer

Wow. As an XIV player, I'm sad to hear that. I think Matsui has done an excellent job remaking XIV's battle system. It's so much more fun to play now.

I mean, good for XI players, but I'm going to miss Matsui over here.
Maybe he'll come and visit now and again?

he's actually doing double duty with XI and XIV

Is he? Cause i would be sad if he isn't doing the battle system anymore

Well at least he is getting to retire and take care of his health issues, hope he gets better.

Seconded. I would rather remember Tanaka as someone who has his hand in several great games for the NES-SNES-PSX. Allow him to take his place alongside Sakaguchi as one of the greatest contributors to Final Fantasy and let him take his rest.

Its to bad XI is designed to be dead for new players, i would never play XI again if i didn't already have 5 75's and a decent LS.

If he ends up in Mistwalker after his recovery, I'm going to smile. The smile will turn into a grin if Sakaguchi and Tanaka join forces for Last Story 2.

So you know

Why, what has been decided to retire voluntarily?

Tanaka : Suffering from incurable diseases and Tanaka fact, there also aspects physical condition, I was allowed to make a decision this time. So it does not bother to go to our players and staff, and I have to put a buttoned at the timing is not somewhere I had expected. Sometimes it is you want to go back to development as a creator of one site, and asked to retire also.

Hmm, well ever since 14 began development they've been sharing assets and ideas.
*cough* Vertical Conflux = Aetherite *cough*

I bet we'll see Geomancer in some form in 14 soon enough.

When this expansion comes out, I'll think about visiting old Vana'diel...

Also doesn't the Ex Pack title sound alot like Hydelin? You know the region we inhabit in 14... lol?

Glad to see the game get some much needed content. I'll play both regardless XI is still my baby.
