Remember that one time in Vegas...

[Eldaena]

...when you were playing virtual black jack with your significant other at 4 am and you happen to notice Yoshida-san at the other end playing with you?

...and then Soken and others showed up too?

Yeah. Good times.

(They were definitely off duty so I didn't want to disturb them too much for photos or anything lol I just said "Hey Yoshi P!" and then "Konbanwa" when they left lol It was nice to see him doing something leisure-y)


If anyone else had some other "...this one time in Las Vegas..." occurrences from the Fan Fest, post them here!

I wonder, did he get any ideas for Golden Saucer while at Vegas?

[Tsuwu]

I get the feeling this is one of the most stressed out, tired humans on the planet.

You can just look at the photos of him back in 2010, when he first took the role over, compared to now.

Something soul-draining happened between now and then.
I'm imagining it's either some intense personal stuff, or this job really is just -that- demanding.
This guy deserves 2 months of vacation at the world's best ski resort.

I'm glad you didn't bother him. c: I'm sure the guy could use a break from all the fans to just enjoy Vegas.

Nah, just take some unsuspecting photos of him and post them on the internet, is this guy paparazzi?

They look like very innocent photos to me. =/

[ShiloEET]

Really strong physical acting he has there over the blackjack table.

Maybe after all the effort and dedication to FFXIV's relaunch, he was looking forward to buying himself a nice big house to kick back and relax in, but then he found out that the only ones available to buy looked exactly like S-E HQ offices.

Yeah it was just innocent. It was just a neat kind of thing to happen. My boyfriend and I were just sitting across from him. He's a cool guy so we just let him do his thing. We both won and loss a few times at the black jack table lol

Haha. I know that look. Reminds me back when I was on a very big project and having thesis deadline at same time, even had to stay for days in office. Even the simplest game like solitaire or black jack can really help getting his mind off the stress.

I agree that a long vacation are well deserved. Unfortunately, this is one of task where he might never get some relief for some time.

Grats on that shoot though. Hope Yoshi can get a bit of relief. ^^
