Thread: What 1.0 and Tanaka did good

which was being built on an engine that the first staff had to build. that engine was only ready to actually build upon for the last few years of the time it took to build the game. look up crystal tools. it was a console engine that was only released on the first game like 2 1/2 years before xiv was released. it then had to be tweaked to work on actually working on xiv pc version. if anything they worked on the game itself for around 2-3 years.

that's adding everything in game when it released including the massive amount of dats that were in game on original release in a very short time. remember much of the content we've gotten in game since yoshi took over such as darkhold were already in the game from the previous staff.

that was completely out of his control. that came from above and was discussed before in interviews when discussing the game during the creation stage.
