Interesting tidbit:

Yoshida recalled, "I give this word of advice: 'This is never going to work unless we put our entire company's resources into this and revamp it"

I remember people crying foul that this could ever be true because it couldn't make sense and it was "just a silly rumor"........lol.

But yeah it's a lot of nuances we didn't get, which basically confirms, once again, things are delayed with SE's games due to trying to revamp ARR.

Versus was announced long ago XD. Of course I have my own priority on which games to release first but I'm happy to wait for their conviction to a product and give it the attention it may need (like FFXIV).

Wont stop me from calling vaporware or "omfg-ing" at date announcements though lol

Love this so much:

. . .but to be honest, sales are secondary to me. My drive here is to regain the trust gamers had for us. . .

I never want a company to go under but I dislike sellout strategies, you can be a business and not gouge your players at the same time.

This part of summed it up nicely for my optimist I try to keep under wraps.

So FF14: A Realm Reborn is in alpha testing right now, and assuming Yoshida is telling the truth, it could be that his two years of nearly thankless effort may have been worth it. "We're seeing it work out better than I imagined," he said. "What's making me the happiest is that a lot of the tester feedback we're getting is along the lines of 'I really didn't expect this from an alpha test' and 'Why don't you just make this a beta?' and so on. This is a title that's got a negative image right at the starting line, so we tried to show off exactly how much of it is complete; we placed the quality bar really high for an alpha."

A Realm Reborn is due out next summer worldwide, and if it's a success, then Naoki Yoshida will have engineered one of the most astonishing turnarounds in video-game history. "This may make me a failure as a businessman," he admitted, "but to be honest, sales are secondary to me. My drive here is to regain the trust gamers had for us. I have confidence [we'll succeed], or else I wouldn't have taken on this project in the first place."

Yup. I liked this part:

"This may make me a failure as a businessman," he admitted, "but to be honest, sales are secondary to me. My drive here is to regain the trust gamers had for us. I have confidence [we'll succeed], or else I wouldn't have taken on this project in the first place."

That's a good mindset to have, and the only right thing to do.
