All of this

Yoshi-P has, actually, made posts like that before, although quite rare. Although what is sort of difficult about it is that there are multiple languages to consider and if he were to do it authentically it would probably just be a discussion with JP players.

Yeah and He needs to treat the game like it is, an International Game played across the world, making excuses doesn't change that reality.

This is done via blogs on the lodestone, occasionally interviews on various websites, and at fanfests where entire presentations and panels are done on how they have been developing the new expansion. We actually had these for Dawntrail as well.

And media Literacy is at an all time low and no offense this player base struggles with making SE accounts, and Most of them barely check the lodestone. Also why aren't his interviews translated for people outside JP and Why aren't ANY of these updates pushed to the official twitter or launcher?

If you're specific in his position, then it is taken as a guarantee it will happen, when that may not be the case. If it is guaranteed to happen, the announcement needs to happen properly with all of marketing at a strategic time, while some surprises can be good as well. These seem to be the reasons from what I've observed.

While this is very much the case for a lot of game Directors, theres also a time to be a lot less focused on timing and more so on just being honest, and many many other game directors, including Yoshida just need to at this point.

They literally did. They said before Endwalker released that they heard the feedback about "3.0 DRK" and reverting class design, but are happy with where they got it in 5.0 and want to continue in that direction with Endwalker.

I can rephrase this, SHOW US these systems in play over vaguely just talking about it, seeing these systems in play goes a long way in dealing with player perception and feed back to attune it to what it needs to be over just throwing content at us and it possibly being a sore on the overall expansion for 2 whole years, which has happened before.

Well some did. But plenty remain so clearly this isn't true.

If most people didn;t have to wait until each patch to know how each thing would exactly be implemented a lot of people would leave sooner. I feel like they're being vague and coy on how their systems and content will work as a means of player retention.
