Suggest Change for Yoshi-P Himself

I like Peregrine, he's the equivalent of Belgian Rofl's mean side.

Peregrine is the only one making any sense around here.

Well, now that I think about it Hitler had his followers too.

I think there are 2 good points in the OP. One, the small patches are hurting the image of the game. Two, the size of the dev team and by relation the speed of the dev team at solving problems.

For one, the image of the game is shot. It doesn't matter if it gets any worse from the appearance of useless patches. The reason for that is because whether the game improves in one patch or cumulatively, it has to hit a certain number of players for this point to matter.

For two, this is a really good subject. Square Enix as company is facing some kind of organizational mayhem. Look at the botched FFXII and FFXIII development. They had their heads up their ass, taking 7 years on FFXII for half a game and then doing it again with FFXIII, cutting out half of the game. Meanwhile, they probably spent 1 year on just Bodhum that you race through in 30 minutes. Their artists and programmers are having a hard time coping with next generation graphics and they're getting left behind by American developers that can navigate this tricky territory. Whether its increasing their manpower by adding new team members, or finally figuring out how to pull their head out of their ass, something needs to change at SE organizationally or the company is going to keep losing value in the long run.

All we can conclude from this is that people don't know what they want. They just want something and they want it RIGHT JUST NOW.

The original player's poll asked this very question and the concensus said they wanted updates to be smaller and quicker. They're just doing what people asked for at this point, unfortunately the *fast* bit has been killed a little considering the updates are 2 weeks behind schedule. (Originally we were going to have 1.16 and 1.17 within a month, that's pretty damn fast)

I am happy with the current development, just as I was happy with Tanaka's. They were both working on making the game better. Tanaka had other views about it but some of it were reaching me, Yoshi P. has some views about the game and some of it are reaching me.
As for the marketing part of the release of patches, I think they are better positioned to know what they are doing than any of us here.

My favorite part is where half the people trying to communicate their anger and disappointment towards SquareEnix' major blunder can't even communicate in proper English. Peregrine, this may surprise you but I'm a new player who just picked up my copy of Final Fantasy XIV one week ago today. This was after having read all the bad reviews and knowing what I was getting myself into because from what I've seen of the game it looked like something I was interested in trying. After my first week I can say that I am thoroughly enjoying what content the game currently has as I have not progressed excessively far from the start. SquareEnix won my subscription by putting for the effort in showing that they are currently in the process of making changes to the game, to better the overall product and improve quality and quantity of content. So, no, I don't need an apology from Naoki Yoshida for fixing something Hiromichi Tanaka is responsible for. Yoshida, and in turn SquareEnix' apology can come to myself and others in my position in the form of less talk and more action. I hope that all of the proposed fixes are made and that SquareEnix implements them all. That would be a great apology; that and another free month of play when a big patch lands.

More meat for the Grinder.
No really , at start i really enjoyed the game a lot but it gets really , really boring after you do this and that, a looooooot faster than the norm for mmos.Then you start to see so many flaws that is overwhelming . give it time you will get there.

I think Yoshi-P is a pretty cool guy. He makes xiv haters hate and doesn’t afraid of anything.

Yoshida-san knows better than us what he's doing. I have no suggestions except, "Keep up the hard work!" ^^

They did this to give us patch each week one big patch would come out every 2-3month which is cut up in 2patch so pretty much every time the number change from 1.1"6" to 1.1"7" that one big patch so i think we doing pretty good i don't mind getting cut up version of the big patch.
