ORLY!?! Is that before the horrible backlash from reviews & Critics ? Or when they don't even charge ? or when they even postpone their release for another console ? Or when the company makes a public apology ? Or when the leading team gets thrown overboard ?

Actually no one got thrown overboard.Tanaka included. I believe this isn't even the first time you're told this: there have been no known layoffs over FFXIV.
There are developers that are able to assess the fact that their game has issues, and work to solve them. This doesn't make the game "broken " (since every single aspect of the game is perfectly playable).
It simply means what it says, the game has issues and they are working on them.
Unfortunately some can't give up using spiteful and hyperbolic terms that have nothing to do with the game's situation.

But yeah, someone asked you if you're even playing the game, and what level you are. Given the unconstructiveness of your usual postage, I would say it's a curiosity I share, because you don't even seem to be aware of the state of the game at all.

You are right, this game is nowhere near being a Standard MMO!

And who decides what the standard is?
Who decides what areas of the game count towards the standard and what not? I could think quite a few areas of FFXIV that are quite above the market standard. Graphics, art direction and music being three prominent ones.

That i will give you and yes SE is not a 2 hand company starting making a MMO, but they might as well have been since they just failed as hard as any other one that did I mean we are talking about the company that made FFXI are we Not? Yet FFXIV is miles and leaps behind FFXI in every aspect of the game, FFXI was a good MMORPG, did it start horribly ? Yes it did, is it a good game now ? Yes it is, and who made it that way ? Tanaka did, is tanaka behind FFXIV ? No he is not, so how is FFXIV gonna turn into something equal or better than FFXI ? Oh yeah yoshi, sorry i forget you guy's seem to have selective memory at times, it seems you guys like to think FFXI turned the way it did, for all the reasons but tanaka(When in reality he was the producer of the game) yet any tiny little thing that makes this game even a little bit better is credited to the all holy Yoshi-P(Double standard much?)

You seem to think that people erroneously attributing FFXIV's launch flaws exclusively to tanaka is a good reason to hate and continuously rile on Yoshida.

By the way, Tanaka was the *producer* of FFXIV, Tanaka didn't *make* FFXI into a good game. The team did, and the team is made by quite a few key figures. Quite obviously you don't have the role of a producer very clear in mind?
