FINAL FANTASY XIV is a GREAT SUCCESS for Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada
We've got submission.

"Square Enix's CEO has admitted Final Fantasy XIV is "unsatisfactory" and stresses that the company is "trying as hard as it can to regain lost trust." But I don't think he can change the situation." (submission)

Square Enix released financial results for the first six months of this fiscal year on Nov 4. The speech had been shown on "Game Watch".

"FF14 is not satisfying. We try to restore trust. Update will be held in November or December, PS3 version will be coming March 2011.

(中略)

We have a check system inside our company but that had not function well. We will gain back trust in shortrun and reform our system in longrun.

From last year, our games is not so satisfying. Many bugs. Not normal SQUARE ENIX quality. We have consider our problem and will solve it.

FF14 is not aiming at short-term profit. If we satisfy our users, they will return. On the other hand, once the users say, 'forget this,' there's no turning back. We can only recover our trust so far." (From Game Watch)

How do you think?
FINAL FANTASY XIV is a GREAT SUCCESS for Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada.
What the...
FF14 just follow the words said by Wada.
What do you mean?
He said this.

"Online connection allow software update anytime, this reduce debug cost. As we don't need to simulate any problem before launching and debug before." (famitsu.com July 6, 2006)

Huh.
Base on such thought, FF14 force users to debug.
Really forced to debuy huh.
Debug is not just playing so that induce salary cost. There are debug company in stock market too. That's why he want players to debug.
Oh...
Let the user do that have a merit.
Merit!?
Debug should be done by makers money, but now he want to charge users a fee and force them to debug. What a wonderful business model.
......
In the collapsing game business, Wada created such new system. GREAT SUCCESS.
Why?
He made the business progress without the cost of manpower, time and money. He is really GREAT.
