I hope the XIV team feels the pressure

Lots of things 'Yoshida said' but never actually said out there .

To be fair, there are things that he has indeed said but it has mostly been in passing, so there isn't much of a record of those things to refer people to. I specifically remember him saying that a gunblade job would happen once we got closer to the Empire sometime in early ARR. Lo and behold, it became a thing exactly when he said it would. lol I've never been able to find an actual source for reference though. But I know he said it! There have been other things but nothing specific comes to mind.
