(Although There actually seems to be nothing about FFXIV in this letter)

Seems to be more of a personal blog about his travels and health / wishing us a happy new year (as its his first letter of the year) more than anything else.

This probabally doesn't need a thread dedicated to it, but the forums have been so quiet since subscripition.

A curious read indeed.

It's good to know that the devs find time to enjoy things outside of FFXIV. I think it's important to take a break from FFXIV now and then, just like that message we see when we're logging in. Lest we get antsy and angry!!! Graaar!

(there's no sarcasm in this message even though it sounds like it).

Inb4 people start complaining about that.

In with what? You have added nothing to this thread and got plus14'd for it. I am lost.

This letter was pointless, and belongs on a personal blog somewhere. I look forward to letters providing me with upcoming game info. I could care less about the personal lives of the people working on it, just like that same team doesn't want us jumping on these forums blabbing all about our personal lives. Its not what they are for.

He did the same thing on one of his first letters last year, iirc.

I think people's expectations are just high due to recent lack luster updates (both on lodestone and patches).

People expected something to do and all they got was a Goobbue. (Their own fault for expecting more IMO)

Reminding us he's human

Reminding us he's human

Yes. But he sure gets sick a lot for a human. Either that or i'm abnormally healthy in the past years.

Tbh, id rather he keep all this crap on twitter or facebook so people who care can read about it, i just want to read whats coming to the game personaly.

Workaholic + smoker + on planes all the time (eww) = Sick alot

Not surprising really.

I totally 100% agree... planes are just bacteria filled cesspools with all that recycled air blowing in people's face. Plus nasty people that don't know how to cover their nose/mouth when they cough/sneeze. I swear every time I go somewhere I end up sick within a week of being on a plane, I also usually end up right by the only baby on the plane. *sighs*

Well I hope that Yoshi is feeling better... I agree it's not worth him going into the hospital or killing himself over a game. I am patient enough to wait if things are a little delayed as far as updates go, I mean I have already been playing since closed beta so obviously I'm fine. LOL


Yoshi please take better care of yourself, you're actually making something good out of this game and we need you! <3

He worked himself into the hospital. All of you harping about updates can take a hike.

As for writing a personal letter, isn't that customary to do for the New Year in Japan? I liked it a lot and it was neat seeing the team taking a break. The tie pic was funny.

I'm with Yoshi-P, best wishes and prayers for FFXIV this coming year!

100% agreed with bolded...

and I also agree, I love seeing a personal letter from him now and then. It shows that he's not all business, and that he cares about the fans and wants to let us into their world. I love that he shows us whats going on behind the scenes.

What a piece of crap letter after so much time of not saying anything!
Yoshida, go get a damn blog for your silly personal crap, leave LotP for info we really care for.

He is the Producer and this is his letter, if he want's to talk about it raining he can. I wish people would have a bit more compassion for the people working their butts off to make this game what it is. What they do is a lot of hard work, long hours, little sleep and then all they get are people complaining and whining about silly things.

/facepalm

Swear sometimes people make me wonder about the human race...
