Has anyone else noticed Yoshi's attatude at PAX?

[Celef]

I think he did not really thought about what it means to work on a MMO and he discovers it now :/

When you make a one shot game, people whine then they forget but on a MMO, we keep whining and whining and whining. God knows I disagree with a lot of things he did but, on the other hand, I can understand he is pissed off hearing "your work is shit" all the time.
We are never happy with what he and his team does, with or without any reason but even when we are "right" about being disapointed it must be hard for someone who's working, to not being affected.
I think this time it's not the producer who was annoyed but the man, not Yoshi-P, but Yoshida Naoki.

(I don't know if you get what I mean, sometimes I have issues explanin concept in english due to it not being my mother tongue ^^")

You forgot Overlord Wife glaring from the shadows to monitor what he says.

That's the mog station empress

Honestly, Yoshida said if you want some Stormblood answers, now is the time to ask it; I think he was more disappointed there was a lack of 4.0 questions and more of the same old rehashed inquiries. I wouldn't say he was frustrated, just entirely disappointed.

He said that, but then the few questions at the Q&A that were asked about Stormblood-related content (the couple about class balance and ability changes, for example) just got the boilerplate "Please stay tuned for more information" responses, rather than any actual details.

The same is largely true of the interesting questions from the Gamer Escape, Reddit, and MogTalk interviews.

Gamer Escape asked about Deep Dungeon in Stormblood ("I’m afraid I can’t tell you what type of content it is."), Reddit asked about open world content ("we don’t have intentions of making it."), and MogTalk asked about job imbalance ("I’m afraid I can’t go into details here").

Between three interviews and a Q&A, we got effectively no new information about things that are already planned, even when Stormblood-related questions were asked.

There is a reason "please look foward to it." became a meme associated with him...

Absolutely. It struck me as rather disingenuous of them to make a point of asking for questions about Stormblood when everyone in the room could have predicted that some variation of "please look forward to it" was probably going to be the answer to 95%+ of them.

Frankly it's possible to predict with reasonable accuracy what the answer to almost every question is going to be before it's even translated. There's the occasional exception, but it's more-or-less impossible to tell in advance what the questions are that would hit on a topic about which they're prepared to share more information.

The guy travels halfway around the world, and people ask questions about bunny suits, Eternal bonding rewards and problems with getting an unused-for-2-years account back. How do you think he feels?

I have tremendous respect for the guy, he's a lot more patient than I would ever be...

I suspect Yoshi hoped for more aesthetic based questions given what they have shown of Stormblood is, well, aesthetics, and some lore. Unfortunately, people want gameplay information now. Honestly, I can't blame them. I was entirely underwhelmed with EU fanfest-- Yoshi trolling notwithstanding.

On the other hand, as stated before, he would not have answered anything else than "please look forward to it" probably because he is not allowed to ^^"

This 100%. It is if people don't realize they see the other questions and can't/won't answer them. Glamour are simple easy questions to answer. They don't affect game play at all.

Yeah, it seems like people on both sides of the Q&A aren't adjusting their expectations based on past experiences.

Players are always going to want to know how the game's going to play, so the dev team should anticipate questions about that (especially approaching an expansion). The dev team is never going to provide answers to those questions, so the players shouldn't be that surprised when they don't get them.

I think if they're going to have Q&As they're much better to have the themed ones like they've done previously (like the Lore-related one with Koji), since that sets the expectation a lot better.

If you are unwilling to put forth the effort, then you don't deserve to be the best or have the best, period.

It's a video game that is supposed to be fun and not a job seriously comments like yours seriously make me laugh.
