XI Wiki
My latest Tanaka-ism... posted as a response on the official forums to a player asking why he was unable to obtain some chocolate item from the Valentine's Day event...

Well played Francisco. With as much as the NA playerbase thinks that the dev team only listens to the JP players (whether that's true or not, idk) it would be hilarious if in the comic, Tanaka made the quip about fat players then compared them to the NA playerbase.

I'm usually far too lazy to do stuff like this, but I felt moved to attempt something tonight. However, MSpaint sucks really, the last time I used it was probably 10 years ago and apparently new versions actually suck more than old ones. Anyone know a good free graphical editing program to use for stuff like this? MSpaint options blow ass and aren't useful to make a decent shop for anything.

I use Paint.NET... much better than MSPaint, if for no reason other than the ability to use layers... Originally Posted by Siatdiat

Yeah, layering was exactly the problem I was having. Does anyone remember MSpaint having the lasso tool that allowed you to basically make a stamp out of a specific area and stamp it around anywhere you wanted without a silly white box around it? Maybe I'm imaging things. Originally Posted by Francisco

Samurais are Japanese, that's why they get buffed.
(it all makes sense now)

Me too...
As for the first images I posted in this thread, I realize they're wordy as hell, but it's kind of the joke. It's a really overblown, contrived thought process leading to a disadvantageous outcome for the playerbase... mostly just my take on guessing "What the fuck goes on in Tanaka's head?"
I personally just think the man is deranged. I picture him sitting in front of hundreds of monitors, spying on our characters, 24/7. When asked why he does it, he says "with great power comes great responsibility..."
Actually just got another glorious idea, can't wait for the chance for this next one...
