Gamer Escape Interview with Naoki Yoshida!

I personally like to use my mouse to control the camera. I wonder what's so great about using the arrow keys.

Being able to move and control the camera with one hand.

The job trails sound exciting - a welcome break from FFXI's "So, you're a Rank 75 Thief. But how's your dagger? Can. you. hit. anything?" That always sounded backwards to me.

What is this? lol.

I would hardly call a guildleve style "run to this spot, kill 3 mobs, run back" objective a quest just because the NPC has a few extra lines of text. Can a nigga get a cutscene and some development? But yeah, good read. Lemme get them jobs.

Neither would I. There are quests in the hamlets that discuss some of the impending Garlean invasion.

I always felt FFXI was backwards in that you leveled the job even if you sucked with the skills that it used. What was leveling up a Paladin if not increasing your swordsmanship prowess and shielding abilities? From a designer perspective, it was increasing the effectiveness of your input-output variables within damage and ability algorithms, but what about from a content observation (lore) standpoint? After Level Sync and Astral Burn shredded any hope of having a well-skilled-up party member, it started to get under my skin quite a bit.

Look at this amazingly developed Paladin! Level 75! Why's... why's he getting hit so hard? Block! BLOCK, SON!

I think the weapon class to job expansion system makes a lot more sense, so I'm excited to see how the trials will work.

Unfortunately I don't believe Yoshida-san speaks any English
Perhaps somewhere down the road we'll see if we can't figure out something with the members of the Community Team
