    SE is more transparent and more forthcoming with information now then most developers once their game is 6 months in.

    Some games like Korean localizations never get contact from devs.

    We should be thankful.

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    Quoted for fu*kin' truth.

    Blade & Soul, anyone? They're going into Korean Closed Beta Test this month, and they haven't even once considered tapping anyone outside Korea for western feedback - it's obvious B&S plans on going for an NA launch, but they are decidedly using closed-loop development processes that fails to take in proper feedback for their target audiences.

    It's this kind of mentality that gets me riled up about asian game developers.

    When we're seeing more transparency from Square Enix, I'm able to cut them some slack.

    Also, as a response to Jamel-Ibref's statement about patch notes being released months in advance before it is implemented, this is due to the Korean and NA development teams being separated. Koreans get the patches first, and then it has to be localized and adjusted to work for the NA servers. Hence why the patch notes are released so early.

    Surely this would have been obvious?
