The Community Teams interview Yoshida in Japan!

[Laiferr]

Awesome stuff, super excited for Airships and beastmen! Would like to point out an error here though; 'Airships will also require a free after the completion of the quest' I believe it should say 'fee'?

Tea/Coffee/Hot Chocolate, what does the dev. team prefer?

Oh man you should have said hot chocolate!

Cool story Bayohne!

I wish I didn't have to start work until 10am...

[SuzakuCMX]

I wish I didn't have to start work until 10am...

And end at 2-3 AM >.>

I wish I didn't have to start work until 10am...

its japan were talking about though.... 1 1/2 hour to work. and you gatta wake up and get ready for that before, so +1 hour. now your 2 1/2 horus back. so now your waking up at 730am, then riding a train (which you might have to stand for) so when you get to work your already tired. and then they work much longer hours in japan than in america......10 seems okay...lol

Yoshida: I really love them! They are so adorable, and surely anyone would simply die being around that much cuteness! Also what I like about them is that once the PvP is implemented, they are hard to target and can easily hide from others! (laughs maniacally)

I don't care for pvp much but this made me smile, the only thing though is what is the use of being able to "hide" when you can see the HP bar which is hard to miss lol (unless they make them invisible in pvp, which I doubt they would)

Like, I'd hide in a bush, but my HP bar is right above my head and doesn't blend well in the bush, so I'm not hidden at all :/

Glad to hear they may going to adjust the color palette

seem like they making the game for me. lol

What's the worst thing you have experienced while developing FFXIV?

Yoshida: Hmm, I would have to say when players get angry at me in the forums… Pointing out mistakes and lack of information is one thing. However, it gets to me (along with the rest of the team) when the players start bashing my personality ^^; Please don't be too hard on us!

Awe, that's sad to hear.

I know FFXIV has a lot of problems, but do we really have to be so rude to the guy who's trying to fix it? I think we should all be a little more grateful to Yoshida, considering all the long hours he puts in.

Say Bayohne, do you think you could pass on a message to Yoshida for me? Tell him I think his personality is awesome, and that his lighthearted, happy-go-lucky attitude really helps to bring a real sense of personality and humanity to the dev team and make it easier to deal with all the problems the game currently has, because I know he's trying his hardest, and that he shouldn't be discouraged by all the immature forum trolls who do nothing but criticize and belittle him when all he's trying to do is provide us with a fun game to play. Other players should be more appreciative of all the hard work he and everyone else at SE put in. Game development isn't easy, and I just want Yoshida to know that he is appreciated, at least by some of us.

Glad to hear they may going to adjust the color palette

Where did they say that?
