Question was brought up on the Japanese side thread regarding whatever happened to the joint production – making big cake, ships that was announce by the old dev team. I translated some of the comments from there to show what some of the JP people are talking about this one. Wanted to see what you guys feel about it as well.

What was all that about making ships and big cakes?
Whatever happened to it, did it get dumped?
Or is that Grand Company Quest?
I was dumb thinking we can ride on a ship and go around with LS members.
Greetings Eveyrone.
I have brought up the question to Yoshida producer regarding the ships and cake we showed last year September.
It doesn’t mean that the joint production (collaboration) to make something has been dumped; it is still being looked into it. We are looking for a reason to why you have to make something as team/joint production; making it clear for what usage created stuff has after and implementing as a set.
So, currently it is still being looked into but if we get more information we will let you know as we see more information.
Translation: So basically the trailer was made to make an image, then being worked on for the actual game? Is this SE style?
I hope the new dev team doesn’t do the same.
Still being looked into huh, making this type of cake or cannon was the reason I wanted to play FF14…
So this means when this game was released the dev team didn’t even touch this stuff, and didn’t even look into it (just adding the old team); just advertising it like its going to be released soon to get people. Was dumb for me thinking hoping since this is FF… Thank you for the honest comment.
But please don’t say “sorry we couldn’t” or “It was plan from the previous team…” please try to finish/make it. I think that is the only way to keep FF14 being a LIE
Old team promised the following by March (2011 ß added this in myself to make sure people understand…)
- hamlet
- cottage, ship
- delivery system
- LS system
- More leve’s
- Search Function
- title system
- Company feature
All for the customer, what was that about? All for the PS3 customer? All the PC FF core fans don’t matter!?
============
I completely forgot about it myself till I saw the thread + remembered the video LOL. Personally I don't care if this stuff got delayed but just posted since rep responded to it yesterday (this morning??)
Only part that got me to think oh yeah... that is true... is probably the last comment i translated about the old team promising to finish by March, forgot when Tanaka's team said that, probably around December right before team got changed no? I didn't expect all those changes since I know how hard it is to program these stuff but Kind of expected at least better linkshell system, delivery system, and the search function by now. Didn't think that was going to take 6 month + and still going.
Just posting if anyone was interested, had this stuff in mind.
