Why, welcome, sir. I look forward to seeing my #1 game become #1 again.
Welcome, hope you bring the breadth of fresh air that we sorely needed in terms of changing the direction of this game toward one that is more fun, enjoyable and accessible. And hopefully you will have similar attitude and vision as of the golden boy of FF14 :)
Used to be the battle director for XI, among other design roles prior for Square Enix if my mind serves me right, so he definitely has experience with the project.
Curious to see the what changes and new content will arrive in the following year under his (wyvern) wing, particularly once Adoulin hits.
If the Japanese forums are anything like the English forums, this may be the bravest man I've ever known.Quote:

I dub thee Akihiko "Almost-a-Palindrome" Matsui!
Edit: Just noticed his avatar is a wyvern!!
Tell me the mechanics of Treasure Hunter, and I shall spare you.
Oh, and welcome~
Welcome, Akihiko Matsui, and congratulations on your new role.
I'm looking forward to your work here and hope to see the game flourish as a result.
Welcome, Mr. Matsui. Looking forward to the future of Vana'diel :)
