Why is Yoshi-P so loved for a head dev?

[KaedrianLiang]

He brought this game back to life. He refused to adopt a f2p standard that always ensues after a MMORPG failure. World first and only so far for an MMORPG?

Most of the people I talk to about it say they love the interaction he has with players, he's logged in with players..I don't know many other games where people have live letters like he does. Me personally, I think I know this guy better than any other MMO I've played.

He also lets you know why the way things are, you may not like the answer and it may not come right away but he lets you know for the most part. Some I see they demand a response.

The devs themselves, to me, are amazing and very responsive. I am very happy and thankful that we have Yoshi, Foxclon, Grekumah, Bayohne, Fernehalwes and everyone else. All loved in my book.

my little pony was better before it became picasso.

Do you guys know why?

He does a good job. And every FF6 reference is a great reference. If he continues like this he has the potential to become a icon as Miyamoto or Koyima.

I like Yoshida due to how "one of us" and down to earth the guy is. He genuinly has a passion to make the game as true to the FF fans out there and a game he can be proud of instead of what I feel what Blizzard is doing lately, which is how can we milk as much money outta this franchise with the least amount of effort.
With the amount of very poor videogame releases lately, AC Unity, Masterchief Collection, WatchDogs, its very hard to have faith and trust in a developer/producer, but with the whole relaunch/build of FFXIV ARR, he has proven more than enough that what Yoshida says and does is to have faith and trust in.

With the way SE officially apologized, remade the game brilliantly, listens to their community (as much as possible, as face it, we the players usually dont know what we want . This FFXIV relaunch just made me respect SE and Yoshida as a developer/producer.

I want to have his babies.

he took 1.0, arguably one of the worst AAA MMOs ever created and turned it into one of the most successful subscription games ever released. That's pretty impressive.

Plus he likes Dark Age of Camelot.

Unlike other developers and producers, with Yoshida it feels like he is one of us.

[NoahArks]

He pretty much listens. Some girl asked for spriggan hats during a fanfest, and not even a few days later they were there.
