They took it upon themselves to open up a dialog with their subscribers for which I applaud them. In my opinion once they started down that road with FFXIV they cannot turn back. What I was trying to do with me recommendation was to provide them with an organized approach to the dissemination of that information. I am not asking for a step by step blueprint for each phase of the game. All we need is a general outline of their approach, especially in the areas that caused this game to fail in the first place. I am not looking for the "Flood of Information" that was promised but those of us who have steadfastly supported this game and in turn Yoshi-P and his team deserve something.
I'm not condoning complete silence from them. But here in this thread we have complaints about a perceived (not actual) laps in video releasing and the result is something that could be interpreted as a hissy fit.

Speaking of that disaster you're talking about when it came to FFXIV 1.0. They did a great job of turning that game around, from the fights to the cut-scenes. It truly began to feel like Final Fantasy, even before the End of the Era. In light of this, I'd actually go so far as to say they've earned a moment's reprise.

Let them chill out, relax, recharge their batteries and get ready to redouble their efforts on 2.0. We can hound them for more information (and believe me, I have my ways of asking them) once we're done stuffing ourselves full of turkey and the holidays get closer.
