The Community Teams interview Yoshida in Japan!

[Leonesaurus]

Awesome interview!! Very good questions yet again, and even better answers!!! ^___^

I'm feeling so damn giddy with all these straight up, factual answers relating to Chocobos & Airships and new monsters, quests, housing, revamping the towns and environments and so much more!!!!!! All straight from the main man's mouth himself! Speaking of the main guy....

I find with each Q&A I grow more interested in Yoshi P's life around the office, his interests in and out of the game, and even his daily routine ouside of the office. Gives us a sense of who the the man and his team really are behind the game we play every day. I really, really hope we get these Q&A's from Yoshi P more frequently! I feel a sense of great hope, excitement and suspense whenever I read his answers from the questions because whatever he says WILL in fact be considered and WILL actually happen to us.

When he basically confirmed, straight up, that Chocobos and Airships are strongly being pushed for the next patch....I nearly $#!& myself...... Thanks for the posts Bayohne! It's great to know our main man loves Chocobos and stuff just as much as me and everyone else that does!

I'm happy everyone seems pleasent well in the first to pages of the thread. I couldn't read aall of it cuz of the type setting. But I liked what I did read.

So can someone ask him if 1.19 is planned for August or later?

Could be too early to put a timeframe on because they want to check how the battle reform will work and put some fixes in 1.19 if needed

[Kam]

All these answers....

1.19 theme tune?

I feel like instead you guys should sponsor a big game of Dissidia Duodecium on Ad Hoc Party. Also, pass along the message to the Dissidia team that Ad Hoc sucks. That'd be way more fun than Street Fighter!

great interviews! Finally had a chance to sit down/read them/do my local leves. I love the back and forth we got here with; game info and sprinkle in some Yoshi flair. Also laughed at the day in the life of Yoshi. Meetings 10-9pm/ read 230 emails/ lurk on forums till 2-3 am haha. Good man.

Much appreciated to the team for flying around the world to ask these via live and in person. I'll take any chance I can get to see more of Yoshi's style. And a great group photo, it is the true definition of diversity if I've ever seen one, and reminds me why I love global MMO Never played Monster but I just ordered it off of Amazon.. you win again France!

Also, I am curious if Yoshi is as cool and friendly as he seems, or if is just a front to cover his more sinister and devious nature, and if he was trying to sneak in a minute of sleep in that second picture or if that is his "question answer mode" pose

Good read.

Someone should ask Yosh if they plan to add more Harvesting classes...?

Something like:

Bug catching with a net, catch bugs
Chocobo Breeding (Better Chocobos you raise the better items it collects when you send it out)
Bird Hunting, Use a gun to shoot for flying birds
Digger. Use a Shovel and dig for items

Honestly, if I were the producer of XIV in it's current state I'd probably be putting in 14-16 hour days too. And that'd be more the game lover in me than the workaholic...

Hopefully when this game gets on the track he wants it, he can start working super short 8 hour days, lol. It is very much appreciated though!

I find it funny that although Rukkirii started this thread, she has totally abandoned it (likely for fear of being stalked). Poor girl. Seriously 23 pgs of text and the only post by her is the OP haha
