Alot do not see it this way, but look how much Yoshi has changed from Tanaka's original plan. We are just now starting to see what all his restructuring and planning will be produce. The big thing will be the battle system redesign.


Over all if this game has not tipped towards the positive side of the spectrum by the end of the September then we are in trouble.

I think reason for lack of information from Yoshi is he has no clue when it will be done, so he does not want to say something like at the end of August you will have 10 dungeons 200 quest and 5 new zones... then August 1st arrives and "oh crap, we only have 5 dungeon finished the other 5 are not working as intended, we only done 143 quest, and 2/5 zones are not going to be polished near enough to release. I understand why he is doing it he does not want to cause massive overhype then massive disappointment, although i would like a estimated timeline... but ppl will take estimated as meaning fact online.

It would be much better to say on August 1st "hey we will be releasing a massive patch with 5 dungeons, 143 quest, and 3 whole new zones at the last patch of the month, and we plan on a patch sometime in the first few months of fall releasing an additional 5 dungeons, the remainder of the zones, and 50-60 new quest we hope you look forward to it all."

And these elements releasing polished and launch ready would work out and make people happy, compared to scenario 1 where they scale back the update and outrage people, or release it in poor condition and outrage ppl.
Yeah I get the part about exact dates, why I said a rough estimate, but it would help keep people a bit more interested, I have full hopes there are big patches coming up with tons of content, but the ammount done even if we take into account 3 months, is still years away from being full quality if the amount of the patches so far are ammount to come. Especially with how disapointing the NM's and Side quests were, they were nice, but too small and more like wetting the tastebuds, then actually something to keep people interested.

New content regularly that keeps people intersted more then a few hours, will keep people here playing, right now, most are quiting because there isn't anything new since release that really gets anyone interested. NM and quests were okay, but a few hours or weeks they are done, and it's back to grinding crafting/leve's.

I'm fine with it all, but not alot are, and I want to see this game suceed, and keep people excited and interested.

bleah :> sorry to semi rant, what ever, I love the gae and a die hard fan, but every player that I know that vanishes and doesn't return is another kick int he gut it feels like for this gae.
