Where did that guy go? Who is this Public Relations Representative that has his skin?
It does feel like we have a completely different yoship this time around even compared to the release of just one expansion ago. I don't know if corporate put him and a portion of the ff14 dev team onto too many projects at once since it's rumored his division is working on 2 other secretive projects other then ff14 currently and he doesn't have the time to oversee and put all his time on ff14. Or if there are other reasons things turned out how it did with dawntrail.
