Yoshi-P: FF14 is “my life work”

[BabyYoda]

Some of you guys remind me of those people that call in Customer support to yell at the representative cause the company sucks. As long as there is no full transparency and how much Yoshi-P voice weights vs SE and how limited he is by SE, seeing people asking him to retire is just plain awful.

Nobody is infallible and surely the game could use a lot of revamping but what goes on behind the scenes is anyone's guess.

I'm not sure if you are naive or plain ignorant to understand how decisions are made in a company or perhaps a combination of both.

They are doing exactly what they said they will never do in the documentary. "Relax". I dont think they have the drive to innovate anymore and the japanese system doesnt exactly promote innovation either. "Nails that stick out get hammered in"

I want Yoshi-P to stay on the team. I wish he could go back to actually being a game director again. It feels like the more and more he's been drifting into other roles, the more the game suffers for it. I don't think he's the end all be all of the game or anything, but I wouldn't trust some new person to come in and do his job, so I'm glad he's committed to the game. He has definitely become more of a corpo over time though, and that's been a disappointment. He's always bemoaning these days how he barely has time to play FFXIV, let alone other video games or have any hobbies outside of work. I think a lot of the conditions in his life and job that allowed him to reboot and save XIV in the early days don't exist anymore. It's kind of sad.
