Hamlet Defense?

It was Tanaka's team idea to make this game casual friendly though, and it was Tanaka's team that decided to make this completely different from XI, even to the point where we don't have basic search functions. That is inexcusable to me. In a modern mmo market you learn from the previous game you made. I don't hate Tanaka, he may just be the scapegoat, but obviously someone wasn't doing there job, or else this game would have at least released with basic search functions, a party seeking feature all players were comfortable with,...I dont even care about content. Tanaka's team just blatantly acted like XI never happened when they made this game, and they alienated a lot of XI players their hugest fanbase. I remember playing XI with people while they were in the Alpha and they would be like "i'm not buying it, that game blows" and I thought they were just XI haters*, but seriously this game doesn't "blow" so to speak, but it isn't up to snuff, it isn't next gen, in general now the Japanese game market is 5 years behind the West (recent articles game informer, 4gamer, the metal gear solid guy jumped ship to america), they need to figure out how to make this game next gen fast. Who's fault was that, it has to be somebody's?

*an XI hater: someone who plays xi , will die playing xi, everything else sucks and will always suck because the money that went to develop it wasn't spent on xi.
