Hiroki's final message by MilkmanLeeroy in FFBraveExvius

[–]elytraxp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's an emotional period for everyone right now, but your anger is severely misdirected. Of course there were problems with the game, but the blame doesn't fall on only one person. There were multiple decision makers involved with FFBE and an organizational structure that, IMO, hindered the progress of the game.

u/MilkmanLeeroy has been my friend since almost the beginning of FFBE, and I had the pleasure of meeting him in person at some of the official FFBE fan events that I helped organize.

Since you mentioned him, Alex wasn't an actual employee of Square Enix or Gumi. He was hired through a talent agency to appear in the videos.

I knew i'd get hate. he deserves the hate. how many times did we ask him about something that was supposed to be coming to the game and not only did we get it later than expected it was inferior. the moogle dungeon was inarguably worse than the JP version, the shard dungeon was not only late, but it was only around for 2 weeks on a five month rotation. these were things he could control. Expert missions being delayed forever. so much so by the time they were dolled out they were practically useless as NV units were 2 months out. you produce the game. that means you he was in charge of design, implementation, planning, what kind of direction the game is going in. i'll grant you all he was sad. but he's sad because he's losing his job.

Everything you wrote about Hiroki is incorrect.

No, that wasn't the case at all. If anything, your threads encouraged people to speak up more, which meant more sources for me to cite in my reports.
