Why did they stop talking since boards came up?

What happened to the Producer's Letters that were coming at a fast pace early one, telling us what they're doing, where they're at and sometimes getting a little personal too. Seriously, I don't know about anyone else but I'm bored out of my mind waiting on empty promises. Tell us what you guys are doing in detail.

It's coming up! this spring!

Probably because everytime he gives an update, it's never enough for some players.

Of course not because he doesn't go into detail on anything at all. People want details they don't want something like the Grand Companies page they hyped up as if its going to blow our brains when it was barely anything. Give us details on everything they're working on so we have something to discuss at the very least and give them feedback on, god knows they barely know how to make a fun game any more they need as much help as they can get.

We still get producer's letters, they're posted on the forums instead of the front page.

This is exactly my point. After reading this, I wouldn't want to post either.

I could be completely wrong about the reason. He could just be working very hard and too busy. But I'm tired of people acting like the dev team are robots incapable of messing up or never in need of sleep or rest, or impervious to negative attitudes on the forums.

You want a good game? Find a way to bring more positivity to your posts... please.

Still, the gap between the last letter and the one before was much bigger than it has been previously and the letter barely gave us any details other than that they're working on stuff we already know they're working on. And I know the reps talk on the forums but its more like "here's something to shut you guys up for a little while longer."

Japan got hit with one of the worst natural disasters in a really long time. Of course there was a larger gap, I don't really know what else to say. If anything, these forums have increased communicatioin, we get several (sometimes upwards of 10) dev posts in a day. They've been busy just sit tight.

Not to mention Yoshi-P got sick, Most likely from the huge travel log he just finished going to all the regions and doing major interviews with multiple Press and Fansites.

I'm sympathetic, I honestly am, but SE is running a business and its falling apart every day they don't change the way they do things. Let me tell you something I absolutely HATE RPGs but I've played every single RPG SE has made since FFX when I fell in love with the FF franchise. I haven't hated a single game but for FFXIV. Anyone here convincing themselves this game is good or going somewhere is sitting on empty promises - this game has already lost. Someone else posted something about competition creeping around the corner, the competition is stiff and it looks good anyway you look at it. FFXIV has failed majorly and that's why I want to know what plans they actually have to spring it back to life and maybe give it the push it needs to a successful PS3 release. I stick around to see where it gets to, but no one should be defending SE because its clear they took every shortcut in the book with this game and tried to do us in by selling us the name....and for the most part they did do us in considering it sold fairly well.

EDIT: let me rephrase that, I hate any RPG that isn't SE or FF. Not one I played gives me the same feeling FF does, at least any FF before FFXIV.
