Yoshi P in a nutshell

[Connor]

I mean, the guy thinks RPGs should have no/minimal traditional rpg elements outside of ‘Fantasy aesthetics’ and some recurring names, and we’re really only just becoming dubious of his design philosophies? Or thinking that 19 jobs can be designed and balance by like four people, and then decides to add two more . Right, I’m sure that will go great…not like there’s any issues with the overall combat system right now (ignoring the SAM, SMN and all Healers crying in the corner lol)

I feel like Yoshida is great with conceptualisation, but performs poorly when it comes to actual implementation of said concepts. Not that there’s anything wrong with that; it’s unreasonable to expect one person to be capable of everything . But at the same time it’s beginning to feel like we’re not playing ‘Final Fantasy’ anymore, we’re playing ‘Yoshida Game XIV’, ‘Yoshida game XVI’, etc. Cant wait for him to design FFXVII as a battle royale first person shooter, because young people don’t like rpg elements and jrpg is a slur ’ lol. How many people have to tell you ‘this is a bad idea’ before you realize lol. Players have been calling out the awful choices made in ffxiv for years and barely get more than some condescending comments about playing ultimates or turning it into a joke
