I'm afraid he doesn't share your sentiment that Roegadyn's backsides are cute.

Mmmm, just look into Yoshida's eyes. So dreamy....

I want to challenge him at Street Fighter 4 the next time I go to Japan. First to 5, loser has to sing "Eyes on Me" karaoke. I know you can make this happen, Mr. Cactuar!

Wow really liked the answers to mog houses and linkshell accommodation!

I just thought the other two in the photograph might be feeling left out.

I wonder if he runs around Uldah on his lalafell in the bandanna's...

The man has style! I think it gives him a more distinguished look, I'm sure all you t-shirt and cargo/basketball shorts fellows could learn a thing or two from him!

Jump is starting to look more and more like my cynical jump post on some various jump thread. Anywho, glad to see french speakers here so I don't have to translate. Sorry for being a bum ass, but during summer I still have no time to translate and my boyfriend is busy trying to make me translate his stupid Biohazard resident evil interviews, and their french canadian so their slang is harder for me to get :/ /personal life rant

Good info guys

The red shirt that guy is wearing has a Cat helper on it from Monster Hunter. It's a Capcom game - Very fun ^^, you should check it out Alexi.

There is also official translation by Bayohne :3

Well...that was an "entertaining" interview only. Bringing answers regarding workday and stuff wasn't what i really wanted from an official interview. ^^::: i'm one of those that don't really care if Yoshida can stay up 4 days in a row, if he wanna play Rift or if he has a Lalafell character...

IMO these interviews usefulness were minimal/none...we basically had no new info regarding the game itself. ; ;

/frustrated

Which one? "Genie in a bottle"? Hmmm.... Well... You guys are making our wishes come true by poking the dev team with our ideas and suggestions. I think we need to rub these lamps some more... (^_^ )

Wait... That didn't sound quite right... (-_-; )

Awesome interview!! Very good questions yet again, and even better answers!!! ^___^

I'm feeling so damn giddy with all these straight up, factual answers relating to Chocobos & Airships and new monsters, quests, housing, revamping the towns and environments and so much more!!!!!! All straight from the main man's mouth himself! Speaking of the main guy....

I find with each Q&A I grow more interested in Yoshi P's life around the office, his interests in and out of the game, and even his daily routine ouside of the office. Gives us a sense of who the the man and his team really are behind the game we play every day. I really, really hope we get these Q&A's from Yoshi P more frequently! I feel a sense of great hope, excitement and suspense whenever I read his answers from the questions because whatever he says WILL in fact be considered and WILL actually happen to us.

When he basically confirmed, straight up, that Chocobos and Airships are strongly being pushed for the next patch....I nearly $#!& myself...... Thanks for the posts Bayohne! It's great to know our main man loves Chocobos and stuff just as much as me and everyone else that does! :D

She's pretty too, but I doubt she's any good at Street Fighter 4.

Forget him, fight me! I've been practicin'. My karaoke ain't too shabby either just in case.

I'm happy everyone seems pleasent well in the first to pages of the thread. I couldn't read aall of it cuz of the type setting. But I liked what I did read.

Oooh, dem's fightin' words! :) pm me on gaf

How's the karaoke scene in LA? The one's in SF are nice but I've never been to LA's.

So can someone ask him if 1.19 is planned for August or later?

Could be too early to put a timeframe on because they want to check how the battle reform will work and put some fixes in 1.19 if needed

All these answers....

1.19 theme tune?

I feel like instead you guys should sponsor a big game of Dissidia Duodecium on Ad Hoc Party. Also, pass along the message to the Dissidia team that Ad Hoc sucks. That'd be way more fun than Street Fighter!

Don't underestimate my double palm thrust technique, it's +4 frame advantage on block.

I still can't get over the gobs of info we got point blank out of Yoshida. That's some crack work, community team.

its japan were talking about though.... 1 1/2 hour to work. and you gatta wake up and get ready for that before, so +1 hour. now your 2 1/2 horus back. so now your waking up at 730am, then riding a train (which you might have to stand for) so when you get to work your already tired. and then they work much longer hours in japan than in america......10 seems okay...lol

great interviews! Finally had a chance to sit down/read them/do my local leves. I love the back and forth we got here with; game info and sprinkle in some Yoshi flair. Also laughed at the day in the life of Yoshi. Meetings 10-9pm/ read 230 emails/ lurk on forums till 2-3 am haha. Good man.

Much appreciated to the team for flying around the world to ask these via live and in person. I'll take any chance I can get to see more of Yoshi's style. And a great group photo, it is the true definition of diversity if I've ever seen one, and reminds me why I love global MMO :D Never played Monster but I just ordered it off of Amazon.. you win again France!

Also, I am curious if Yoshi is as cool and friendly as he seems, or if is just a front to cover his more sinister and devious nature, and if he was trying to sneak in a minute of sleep in that second picture or if that is his "question answer mode" pose :cool:

Good read.

Someone should ask Yosh if they plan to add more Harvesting classes...?

Something like:

Bug catching with a net, catch bugs
Chocobo Breeding (Better Chocobos you raise the better items it collects when you send it out)
Bird Hunting, Use a gun to shoot for flying birds
Digger. Use a Shovel and dig for items

Honestly, if I were the producer of XIV in it's current state I'd probably be putting in 14-16 hour days too. And that'd be more the game lover in me than the workaholic...

Hopefully when this game gets on the track he wants it, he can start working super short 8 hour days, lol. It is very much appreciated though!

I'm happy with the direction this thread has taken. ^_^

I find it funny that although Rukkirii started this thread, she has totally abandoned it (likely for fear of being stalked). Poor girl. Seriously 23 pgs of text and the only post by her is the OP haha

Or maybe she's taking a few days off to readjust after returning from a business trip to Japan.

yep, stating that a lady is attractive obviously equates to being a creepy stalker :D

Ah, the internet, it's hilarious how some people feel the need to persuade themselves that they aren't creepy stalkers by calling others such over nothing at all.

It was not my intention to not reply so late and I apologize for that. I caught a cold on the flight back from Japan and it's kicking my Opo-Opo behind so I took the day off. ;____;

Thanks everyone for all the nice compliments! I wasn't expecting that. /blush

Does that mean I have finally beat Bayohne for your love? At least an equal amount now? Say yes even if it's not true. It'll make me feel better.

Yes. Yup. Yeah.

Daww you know we <3 you rukki

Almost. Bay's ears are too darn pretty.

I will not risk being on the receiving end of Bayohne's Bad Breath attack, so I will say Rukkirii is a close second! so close
