Tanaka or Yoshi: Who's the Man?

One has more experience, while the other is younger and more outspoken. One has a track record of producing strong games, while the other is in the midst of turning around a game that had been left for dead. Hiromichi Tanaka could be called the father of the Final Fantasy franchise, while Naoki Yoshida is the new kid on the block.

Who would you rather have in the driver's seat of Final Fantasy XIV? This question is the subject of a lengthy thread on the official Lodestone forums. While I'm unquestionably thankful that Yoshi-P was promoted to FFXIV's lead role, there's no denying that Tanaka is a skilled developer who simply dropped the ball when managing this game.

See the thread on The Lodestone forum.
