Massively <3's Naoki Yoshida

Seeing the man in person made it even more clear why, exactly, he's managed to capture the hearts of Final Fantasy XIV players. There's an energy about him, a definite sense of purpose and direction that at the same time can be tempered by outside forces. Yoshida knows what he wants to do, but he also is flexible enough to take outside input into account. He's like the ultimate developer.

FYI, while I'm not 100% sure, I think 'orz' is typically used in a more negative sense... like banging your head on the floor because you made a silly mistake and feel ashamed for it, not the same kind of bowing for showing respect or admiration.

But I do believe the point of the post is spot on, there really is just something about Yoshi-P that exudes confidence.

no, "orz" is not like lol. it's a stick figure on his hands and knees. I guess it could be used to bang your head on the floor for a mistake or a kneeling to bow, not sure how it would represent laughter though.

Not to be a pooper of parties but one or two massively writers are obsessed with the game. It's on their page all the time with some sort of philosophical fan musings every week. It's not a place for any sort of balanced judgment on the game by any means.

Actually Eliot Lefebvre has been very critical with the game in many occasions in the past (some times in extremely weird ways as well, but oh well).

Depends. The idolm@ster fans tend to "orz" to Amami Haruka because of the 閣下 meme that was attached to her (she was a normal and boring character, so the fans gave her this hidden personality of a domineering and cruel mistress. 閣下 is an honorary word that literally translates to "your excellency").

All about the context.

Yoshi-P is the greatest man SE has ever got. :)

I wouldn't say Massively has "come around" in that sense; Eliot Lefebvre is a long-time XIV player, even during the worst days of 1.0. I'm sure he's Legacy, too.

Regardless, more positive press about ARR is good no matter who's writing it. :)

Consider, Massively is a gaming site about MMO games. If Yoshi succeeds (something that can only be certain come release, regardless of press) it might mean implications for the MMORPG industry and development. MMORPG titles as large as FFXIV are currently massive undertakings, with failure meaning a sea of red ink few can explain and keep their job. If it can be shown that such investments could be saved...

Yoshi-P is my idol.
