And now that the majority (or at least the loudest minority) have their way, what real progress does SE have to show for it:

A) Expansive and interesting stories,
B) Intricate and challenging objectives,
C) A revamped, less cumbersome and fundamentally overhauled combat/armory system,
D) Any indication of when we might reasonably expect to see even the first of these, or
E) None of the above, just a bunch of superficial crap to appease the loudest whiners while the population has plummeted from >500k to ~30k?

The vast majority of people are idiots who have trouble tying their shoes and only recently mastered wiping their nose, and now that they have the crap they wanted they are still screaming for more crap. (INFINITE STORAGE, REALLY?)

The vast majority of players don't care what goes on in these forums, don't post here and couldn't be bothered to read them. They are hoping that SE will get their act together and put together the next thrilling installment in the FF series, and getting most of the fundamental preparation taken care of in the mean time.

The vast majority of the discussion that takes place here is either unfounded speculation or juvenile personal attacks. I read them because they are funny. Sad, but funny.

I enjoy reading about the forthcoming changes as well, but because there is usually quite some time between such posts, I have to settle for some mindless trolly-trolling.
