Tanaka or Yoshi?

[Cichy]

Let see... Yoshida doesn't fix the game in 3 months and he is a failure. Tanaka takes 5 years to create the worst rated FF ever released and it's alright cuase he "had vision".
Give Yoshi-P some time before you start asking for his head.

Just think about it for a moment, all these things you are asking Yoshida to implement are things that Tanaka didnt not create or completely screwed up.

This sums it up. Tanaka passed on a glorified running simulator to Yoshida to work on.

its more harder to re-build old thing than build new thing.

I'm playing the game and am going to wait for it to get better. In fact, I think it just got better earlier today! :O Oh noes! more crap to whine about! I better hop on the forums and make a new thread to add onto the other 50+ crying about the same damn thing!

And now its getting personal, disrespecting Yoshi_P when he is doing what he thinks is right, and listening to the playerbase.

You know, I'm 100% serious when I say that I would be fine with half of the active posters being banned by now.

Great thread!

I got the impression by the letter of apology way back that Tanaka is still going to be on the team, but wont be director/producer anymore. I am sure there was some sort of turnover where Tanaka handed over his gameplan to Yoshi-P to study, consider, and decide on a best course of action. I highly doubt they just straight up kicked Tanaka out and put Yoshi-P behind his desk with a pile of stuff on it. There had to have been a turnover, and if Yoshi-P decided that perhaps changing the course of the game slightly or deviating from Tanaka's original vision, then I would rather put my trust there.

Tanaka was responsible for the launch of FFXIV, and he failed. Sure it probably wasn't entirely his fault, but he was responsible for it. I trust Yoshi-P to decide whether that original vision is something that can be delivered in a timely and productive manner or if they need to deviate from the original vision. The one thing Tanaka did well pre launch was hype the game up to be super amazing. Nobody ever saw even half of his ideas even slightly emerge in alpha, beta, or even release. So who's to say he ever would? It was all talk, and he couldn't back it up.

I like Yoshi-P, but I do hope that Tanaka is still there somewhere, because he obviously had a plan and I think it's important not to deviate too far from it, but Yoshi-P is doing a great job.

To sum it all up, people don't know what the hell they even want anymore. Instead, they'd just rather whine and complain about what has already been implemented, no more than 24 hours ago.

Its one thing to whine and complain, but I've seen some major disrespect around here. Even wanting to bring Tanaka back? Wasn't he the cause of the new dev team in the first place? Let alone he is still working on the game anyways, so wtf people.

Anyways, this is like slapping Yoshi_P in the face after he just tried to give you a better game. Quit the hating and provide some actual feedback! Stop whining, and instead, throw in what you'd like to see changed. Is it that hard?

I should make a thread about closing the forums down, but that would just be one huge oxymoron.

So far Tanaka has given us XIV and great things in IX and XI. Naoki Yoshida however has yet to prove himself with anything else than a quick tongue and fondness to write long posts with no concrete info.

I'll take a guy who is getting it done in the present over a guy who got it done in the past but couldn't in the present any day.
