Yoshi-P At PAX (Officially Translated)

[Jeeqbit]

Just thought some people might like to hear Yoshi-P talk about FFXIV.

Addresses how he processes feedback and such things. If you want to skip to that bit.

Before I spend time in looking at it, does Jesse ask any actually hard hitting questions. Or does he do the basic courtesy every other interviewer does where they just ask the simple soft questions and fangirl over the game and him.
Because I would rather not watch the same interview for the 10th time

[Veritas-Ancora]

His responses feel sincere and human.

I think he still takes this game and the players to heart.

He perfected his role as the devoted selfless producer, don't fall for it.

Jesse is like that, but a huge portion of it is talking about how he views feedback and Jesse also gave him some audience questions.

Since feedback is a big part of the point of the forums I thought it held some relevance.

Suppose a more candid location is better for more hardhitting questions than in front of an audience like that.

Oh neat. Yeah, wasn't exactly expecting much in terms of revelations in this interview, but it's nice to hear Yoshida's thoughts.

Interesting trivia bit about how he came to take over the Wandering Minstrel for the Rising and why it looks nothing like him! lol

Crazy how y’all praised him for so many years, and now he’s the most wanted human on earth. Like, the man still human and is allowed to make mistakes you know? The devs are also listening to the feedbacks.

By the way, feedbacks they always listened to, which guided us to the 2 min meta, easy game and so on. Community tend to really forget they’re the first responsible for turning the game to whatever it is these days in terms of gameplay and such. Because they actually cared about feedbacks.

I remember the 2 min meta resulting from what players preferred back in high-end content during HW. Namely the healers and Ninja. AST - AOE Balance or GTFO. SCH - It's success with AST in the high-end content made WHM the laughing stock. It success also caused SMN to suffer a bit (despite SMN being the king of AOE at the time). Ninja - It's utility and comparable DPS to other melee made MNK rather unfavorable.

PF attitudes back in HW and SB did not help things for those who wanted job uniqueness in the long run.

A lot of these preferences contributed to why all the roles are homogenized as they are today. People tend to take their things for granted to the point where they don't know what they've got till it's gone.

He perfected his role as the devoted selfless producer, don't fall for it.

May I ask what exactly I am falling for from his sol-called role as devoted selfless producer? He just answered the interviewer's questions.

I never, ever liked him ever since he took over during 1.0 and others had already foreseen what a joke he was and still is. And I don't like Soken either.
One of the first thing he did back in 1.0 was adding himself as a NPC in the game and starting his ridiculous PR letters from the producer...
