PS3 UI Screens

Yoshi-P is a very demanding director/gamer he wont be satisfied with anything less than perfect

This could actually be more harmful than good -- Developers who settle for "nothing less than perfect" runs the risk of not only losing hype for their game but also missing a time period for their project; For example, nowadays Shooters and 'Sandbox' type games are the rage, what if the game that wouldn't released "until it's perfect" was an older fashioned Shooter game, basically missing the boat as they say?

The whole "when it's ready" style release dates work fine but XIV is a special case because it's a relaunch, not a new game -- it's still titled Final Fantasy XIV, a name marred with negative press and bad history -- They have a lot to do and a lot of expectations to meet.

I wouldn't start picking them apart until you see it in motion.

Just posting doesn't make something an opinion or fact -- What you post does however. What you're saying in other words is you can post something like "Hey, Mcdonalds sells burgers!" and you would say that's your opinion.

Admittedly, I do enjoy the way FFXI was for leveling, going into alot of different zones and meeting lots of new people rather than questing. But a huge flaw in this was you needed a very strict PT(being as only 6 players) and you could be waiting hrs/days or even weeks(hi drks/pups/blms post aht) for a PT invite. But that was a while ago and people don't really want that anymore, personally myself I don't think I can sit around all day again waiting for invites/making PTs so I do enjoy the quest system and It is a nice step forward to actually bring casuals to the game, which the game clearly needs is more players.

It's funny how people say Yoshi is copying off WoW, but if you look at alot of MMOs they are doing the same concept, instance dungeons(who wants to camp HNM again cept hardcores?), also quest system for casual players.

Personally(yes my opinion before ppl jump me) I think taking on Yoshi was a great choice for SE to do and to let Tanaka go, granted Tanaka made FFXI work in the past but that sort of thing won't pass these days and people would just get bored and leave. If I remember correctly, alot of people enjoyed abyssea for XI but then when Tanaka took charge again, alot of people hated voidwatch.

please explain what part of standing idle for hours upon hours hoping for your bot to claim the mob is this hardcore feeling you speak of?

It was more along the lines of - having to go at stupid a.m to get the HNM back because another timezone was refusing to let it leave theres. Personally, I didn't really like camps, most boring part of the game, although the fights used to be fun, nothing like a Nid while someone either drags darters or someone claims them from ally, oh the fun.
