Yoshi-P Gamer Escape Interview

It's kind of weird that he wasn't aware that Western Fans wanted more facial hair options until this interview, especially with how vocal some people are about it... >3>

Perhaps there really is something to the theory that a lot of things get lost in translation. Or maybe things just don't get passed along at all. Considering he travels across the globe for Fanfest though I would think that he would be aware of at least some player requests.

I imagine the feedback gets passed to the appropriate teams and sometimes not through him until later. Like he approves of an idea from the team itself that the team may have vetted previously from feedback, so to him sometimes it's from his team and not from us. Just as a "maybe" example, a while back I had asked for a winged Paladin skill that had players hide in their wings for protection (battle effects weren't quite what I described, fair enough, but we did get a winged skill with an area behind it that protected lol). Now of course it could just be coincidence but if it wasn't then that skill was a thing Yoshida was talking about how he was a bit shocked when he first heard of it from the battle team.

It also might be he's just really good at playing coy (has an idea of what we're thinking but pretends not to sometimes), has level 100 speech lol.

Well, he is someone who actually enjoys the mmo genre. I'm positive he knows exactly what the playerbase wants at times but can't address it for corporate reason.

See his glorious facial expressions when laughing/cringing/sighing at a request.

Indeed

And I also agree there are probably many times where he would say something different if it wasn't for his position (not saying like it has to be 180 difference but I imagine a difference there is).

facial hair is meh. most western players look like creepy old men so other than the west no one really cared about it. but more options is always good though.

To each their own I suppose. I would love to have some actual facial hair options like that stubble or some beards. Not really sure where you're going with the "western players look like creepy old men" thing though.

Yeah, that was an ignorant thing to say. Makes me think he was trolling, considering facial hair is not exactly unheard of in the east O.o

I...kinda want to rock that beard shown in #2 in real life. I won't lie. My beard has nothing on that.

I...kinda want to rock that beard from the first picture in real life. My beard has nothing on that.

Me too! that one is awesome! Add a Toshiro Mifune chin scratch and you're in buisness!
