The Community Teams interview Yoshida in Japan!

[Eekiki]

Wow, a lot of creepers in the FF14 community. Not that surprising I guess.

And what is creepy about telling a pretty girl that she's pretty? I'm sure it takes some effort on her part to maintain that appearance, and I for one appreciate it. The world is a better place because she is in it.

Some people were being nice about it, but others were bordering on creepy. There are a lot of girls who play games but you wouldn't know it because some of us like to avoid the subject because once your appearance is brought up, people just cannot stop mentioning how you are a HUMAN FEMALE. It's nice to be judged on your personality and merit rather than just have people hitting on you and talking about your appearance. Respect to Ruki for having to deal with this! Enjoyed reading the interview, and Yoshi-P... please, get some sleep!

[Eekiki]

Absolutely. And in this case, we already established that Ruki has a charming personality before anyone here knew what she looked like. Once those with cheeto-stained fingers saw what she looks like, it sent the hormones a-ragin'.

All you lonely guys out there, I just got out of a relationship with a gamer girl, and I can tell you, finding one to go out with you is not necessarily the answer to your prayers.

[NefarioCall]

i dont know why but the one thing that stands out to me is Yoshida's hair looks like something out of an ff game.

Reminds me of the Turks.

For those who can't wait, a quick overview of the French interview

Q:Is PS3 release still planned?
A: Yes, at all cost

Q:What's a typical developper's day?
A: There are several sub-teams, i-e the leaders, scenario, quests, world parameters, economy, combat, grand companies, lodestone, UI, tools, characters, animations etc.

Typical day depends on individual, Yoshi arrives at 10am and has meetings until 9pm, and replies to 230 emails a day. He lurks on the forums and leave office at 2-3 am.

Q:What type of game do you like?
A:RPG, action, FPS, combat. He likes assasin's creed, fallout, red dead redemption, and plays super street fighter 4 during his breaks. He loves MMO's like DIablo and diablo2, UO, dark age of camelot and WoW. DAoC was his fave for 6 years. Now he is interested in RIFT.

Q:Console or PC?
A:Both

Q: Do you play FFXIV as a player or only as a producer?
A: (sentence hard to understand with a double negation) not much, a bit during his free time, we may have seen his character, but he won't tell his name!

Q:What race?
A:Lalafell, they are so cute! And once we have PvP, they will be harder to target!

Q:Are you still afraid of planes?
A: Yes

Q:Mog house?
A: Not necessarily a 'mog house', but definitely private player housing. This will come along with major map redesign.

Q:When will we have new transportation?
A: airships and chocobos in 1.19. More details in august

Q:Can you sleep well with all this work?
A: Not really! but don't worry I'm fine

Q:Tea, coffee or hot chocolate for the dev team?
A: depends, but coffee wins! Probably one third of my blood is cafeine!

Q:How many sugars in coffee?
A: black coffee, but at 10pm, I may need sugar, so sometimes, 2 sugars!

Hmmm . . . these interviews need to be less about Yoshi and more about the game.

Also, I can imagine the Economy-team's meetings being very entertaining, as no such thing currently exists in the game.

He says that since his free time is almost non-existant, he only plays FFXIV while at work on his breaks. He says that when things calm down he thinks he will be able to play from home.

Q:How many sugars in coffee?
A: black coffee, but at 10pm, I may need sugar, so sometimes, 2 sugars!

and you got the time wrong 19h00 = 7pm

Yeah that's what I got too but the ''je ne peux uniquement jouer quand je suis au bureau'' was misformulated so I preferred to not interpret it.

Ah and you're right about the time, I did it really quick lol

[Perrin_Aybarra]

Yeah that's what I got too but the ''je ne peux uniquement jouer quand je suis au bureau'' was misformulated so I preferred to not interpret it.

Yup it's not a good french syntax, either they need to remove the "ne" or put it like this : "Je ne peux uniquement jouer que quand je suis au bureau".
