Poor Yoshi-P

Along with Yoshi-P, I hope the rest of the team working on the game aren't overdoing it.

Again...by some of the posts here...some people do not understand the work ethic and passion of some cultures.

Japanese culture for instance is one of very much loyalty and resolution...I'm sorry and sad to say...but some cultures have not nearly a fraction of the work ethic of others like Japanese...if they did everyone would be in happy work environment...

But alas a few work...the many lounge...inequity exists...and nobody is happy and the lazy continue to bleep bleep while the hard working just wish they had a break.

And it's a reason why some countries move forward and amaze while others fall behind...content with the statis quo.

that was quite possibly the broadest generalization in this entire thread.

Maybe he's just one of those people who look vaguely sleepy 90% of the time?
I've known a few of those.

That being said, hope you and the entire team are doing well over there!

This is indeed quite the generalization there. I have a lot of respect for Japan and its culture. And it is true that they are know for their loyalty and resolution.
HOWEVER, this does not equal happy working environments as you pointed out. I read many articles pointing out that their working environment is everything but rainbows and sunshine.
There's a reason that many people commit suicide there or even die from overworking. I think the japanese even have a term created for that.
I even googled it up and it's called Karoshi - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kar%C5%8Dshi

In any case I'm sidetracking from this topic. I really do hope that the above term won't happen to Yoshi and his crew as they continue working overtime to bring to rebirth a game that has failed their audience once. Yet at the same time I want them to continue like this. I guess I'm getting spoiled by these quick and large updates.

Cheers for Yoshi-P and his crew. I hope you all will be succesfull with 2.0 and get a nice deserved break from it all. Or at least more normal working schedules lol.

I guess thats why Japan has one of the world's highest suicide rates.

He just needs 1 Week off and get back to his habbits then take another week off within the same year.

While Yoshida has been putting his heart and soul into this game from what we've seen, I'm leaning towards his appearance in that photo being because of jet lag and not his overall health. Nice as it is that his player base is concerned, I'm sure he's just tired having flown in from Japan probably a day or two earlier. If anyone has flown overseas, you'll know from experience that it can take several days to get back onto a regular schedule and not feel like a zombie. At least in my case, and everyone I've known that has done the same.

He should take a week off to play FF14 or something, that would get his mind off of work!

I second this, flying between USA(my current home), UK (my former home) and Australia (My sister's home) really does take its toll, 8hrs either way can knock you out of sync for a few days

SE should give him a vacation during the 3+ month free trial period after 2.0. I'm talking paid time off for the full duration or Atleast until he has slept for a few weeks straight.

*rubs hands together* bwehehehe♪

no sleep for you yoshi!!! go back to work!!! i go down bring you more coffee.

Poor Yoshi - people saying he doesn't look good on a public forum!

He's going to read this and feel unattractive.

That makes me sad.

It is ironic to the point of depressing how hard he is working to make the game easier.

This game has far exceeded the expectations of most of it's current players. If it hadn't, this game would not be running still. Yoshi-P and the entire dev team have gone above and beyond what most of us thought they would or could. So aside from the few arrogant folk suffering from "cultural differences," we thank you!

---

You can be appreciative and still not blow it out of proportion though right ?

I think saving someone life is somewhat different.

i understand that yoshi is tired and they have been working long hours and i hope his health stays good. that being said he knew what he signed up for when he took the job. he is getting paid quite well for the time he puts in on his job.

i feel no more sorry for him than i did the old shutdown construction crews i traveled with working 7 days a week doing 16 hour shifts. it was hard work, but we knew what we signed up for and the pay justified the long hours and hard job.

I am cheering for you Yoshi. But please take care of yourself and know your limits. I want 2.0 to be great but I don't want you to kill yourself over it!

Remember Devs worked too, they also must look like crap.

I get the feeling Yoshi pushes the Devs every-now-and-again but my guess is he works 90hours to their 50.

Maybe we should all donate some amphetamines to the dev team to make sure they don't fall asleep.

You know I think fans should be sending Yoshi-P and the rest of the dev team packets of coffee as a way of saying thank you. Especially as we get closer to 2.0 launch...

I vote for a food that give Sleep resistance 100% called Yoshi`s coffe *_*
