Wonderful blog post, not so much what I want from a letter from the producers? Might want to say something about the game moving forward that will keep the subs up next billing cycle. I don't know, maybe mention a reason why people should want to play this game?

Major improvements since he's taken over, but it's not enough imo. The game needs stuff to do. You log in and sit there or level yet another boring class that you kind of like. in ffxi people LOVED their jobs. There was a sense of pride being a PLD or a DRK. Here it doesn't feel that way. FFXIV as a whole is missing the feeling of a community and of a world that's alive and needs to be saved.

All of this probably falls into the no **** category for most of you. But I don't think yoshi P understands that. He's doing a good job, but the broad strokes to "fix" the game seem to miss some of the fine details that make a good game great.

I have to admit I was a little disappointed in this letter. In my opinion the bulk of the letter should have been about the game itself with a small note about their holidays. Instead we get several paragraphs of text and 4 images having nothing to do with the game itself vs. one line telling us they are working on 2.0 and a note at the bottom saying he will be updating the 1.21 list of changes to the game soon with 0 images pertaining to FFXIV.

It's too bad he got sick, but honestly we didn't need to be notified about that in a Letter from the Producer. I guess that's the part that bothers me. Everything he writes is ok, just not what I was expecting to read in a Letter from the Producer.

However I don't feel the need to rant about it on the official forums...

What happens first, the second coming of christ or ffxiv getting it's act together. Both seem to be a myth at this point.

I wish we could get more PS3 info. I feel I may just be starting to get impatient again though. I know they're working on it, that's all that should matter. I'm just sick of DCUO and want my online FF fix. I cannot wait for that day to come :)

1 year to go Zemus =)

Well we should be getting more information around E3 and then I believe we'll see this game at trade shows like TGS, so your information isn't that far off...

But as for the game, sometime in a year, hopefully. :)

Yeah thanks for the replies, guys! I'm crossing my fingers for a PS3 beta by this fall? Perhaps ....earlier? Nah I dunno. Seems so far away :(
