Letter From the Producer IX.

[BelgianRofl]

Me and Tanaka'd make a great team. A hundred forum posters and Tanaka do not. Actually, a hundred forum posters and anyone do not. 80 of those posters will be ignorant about what makes the genre tic. Another 10 will just want their affected, personal wishes. About ten of them will be worth listening to.

It was already decided which forum member should be in charge of FFXIV.

No surprises for guessing which one of Peregrine's categories the people who decided that fall into.

Lol You don't have any credibility on these forums(or any forums? hell even in game?) so it makes me laugh how people would give you credit to handle XIV's development. You could be a child on daddies computer yet people actually feel YOU would be a candidate? You and your blind followers are funny as hell.

Nobody can on these forums could be chosen as a candidate and that's just the cold hard truth. If you(or anyone else) feel they can do great things for XIV go apply for Yoshi position or any position in that company.

I appreciate that you took the time to reply to my post, Xmbei, but I think that time zones are just irrelevant in this day in age. Its not like we're waiting on the daily paper anymore for information. Things are either posted online, or they aren't, regardless of the local time.

Dreadnought, your point is valid regarding the hassle of translating, but that's just the nature of the language barrier. In other words, its not our problem that its an inconvenience to the development team.

Another thing worth noting, I believe, is the lack of urgency to fix this game, or the appearance of such, that has been voiced on other forums I've read online. Its hard for anyone to say this for sure because most likely, most of us aren't employed by Square Enix and its really easy to just speculate that. So....mid-June release is disappointing, but meh...if it really takes that long, then so be it I guess.

I don't want to sound like a downer because I have a big problem with those aspects of this game, because the rest of the information in the letter sounds promising. I hope that the battle system stuff quoted in the letter involves fixes to the unresponsiveness of abilities, macros, gear changes, etc. Everything really. Its seems very slow and unresponsive but I'm sure that has been talked about on here ad nauseum.

Yea the mid june date for .18 is some what disappointing. but in all honesty it fits in with the original projection of the battle update being implemented before the whole earthquake/tsunami/reactor "Fun". And it has been slid back because there a bit off of there time table due to the disruption, least that's the reasoning that seems the most logical to me. They seem to be working there behinds off over there to try to please this collection of fickle loudmouths. God help them.

This isn't with regards to FFXIV but that's the most wrong saying ever...ignorance is gonna get us all killed one day.

Thats the point, if you dont know you're about to die, then you'll be perfectly fine.

Well most the time people are just lying to themselves. I do know I'm going to die so I wanna do something about it, which is what everyone should be doing.
