Naoki Yoshida interview @Gamescom

[Velhart]

Deep dungeon was a succes, poeple are still playing it.
If you mean beacuse there isnt much to do was beacuse 1. is designed for leveling players, 2. Since it was a new content, they took the safe road by not adding that much. But know we know that we will have a lot more floors for the next patch and 101-200 will be hard core

I mean, do you want to argue against my general point or are people too focused on nitpicking my comments? Its an opinion and I think its boring from a leveling perspective and has some things that can be improved.

Some of those questions were loaded.

I see two people who will likely not get direct access to Yoshida again lol

They really put him on the spot.

I say good. Yoshi-P is a good director/producer, but when he starts steering off course, people should call him out on it.

The questions were alright IMO. I dislike interviews that always ask the same things again and again and why should reporters always only ask the nice questions? He is part of a company that makes money with their games, so why should they not ask what they will plan to make it more enjoyable? And since he answered that he can understand that I also don't think that he took it personal.

I don't put him on a pedestal but I also don't dislike him. He has his visions on how he wants FF14 and that is fine, but he can also make mistakes too. If you can not take such criticism than maybe that person is in the wrong position. (Its not like they attacked him personally, that would be wrong)

It's not the first time and we always tell him our concerns about the game because we love it. It was the same with Tabata-san last year at Gamescom about FFXV.

Our goal is not to put him on the spot, but to address our concerns, what the community feels (or what we've been hearing). That's my feeling but he likes when we're interviewing him (it's my 4th time) because it changes from basics questions.

It's just that most interviewers have very tame questions where it is almost like it's scripted and ok'd beforehand. This seemed like a "we have him cornered, ask him now" sort of thing, which is good. But reading some of those questions I sat back and literally laughed out loud because I was imagining him squirm and laugh uncomfortably. And I really did even say to my roomy "these 2 won't ever be able to interview him again" lol.

But it was a good one, thanks for not asking what felt like scripted questions again.

Esp. the one where he asked about his favourite meal.
Them: What's your favourite meal?
Yoshi:
Yoshi: Meat! Meat and ramen! *-Wipes of sweat- Dodge the bullet.*

Haha thank you. The interview has been filmed. We're putting subtitles at the moment so you can still watch how he reacts

PS : The food idea was mine

Finaland left a statement on Limit Break Radio's conversation about the interview:

"Thank you for reacting about our interview with Eorzea Times ! Finaland is Final (like in Final Fantasy) and the word Land, we're French !

About Yoshi-P reactions to our question, there will be a video soon so you can see how he reacted to our questions. There wasn't any tensions/pressure. In fact, it's been since 2012 that we're interviewing him. He said to us that we're friend ! And at evening, there was the Fan Gathering and we could talk to him easily. There are no hard feelings . We even think that Yoshida prefer our way to interview because it changes from the routine with journalists asking the same thing. He already said that to us two years ago.

Before being "journalist" (with " because we're just a fansite), we're also fan. Our "disappointment" shows that we care, we love Final Fantasy XIV, we love Final Fantasy, we want the best for the series and the game. That's how we feel. We will continue to do our best !"

[DeadRiser]

It's sad they don't want to create challenging open world content. Regular mobs that take a party to take down (that aren't hunts, just regular mobs).

The only challenging content is Alex/Coil and Extreme primals. They won't even up dungeon difficulty. Only thing keeping me in the game is my friends.

[Myleus]

Yoshida changed his mind to have the perfect RP game ever , they took enough money with the ARR version and now he's become too greedy selling stuff that u can't obtain via in-game. More optional items every months .Less horizontal progression.

The next patch launchs always one month later than expected so the new really content for raiders is for 8 or 9 months and only new 4 floors ( normal and savage, same design). Guys, this is very poor for a SE game who has amortized our money more than enough. I don't know if FFXV has divided some devs but it's time to do the things in the right direction.

You will gain more ppl now with linear patches and making false hype but with time the real sustain of population are the mid/hard-core raiders. The more sad now is that the real fans of this game still plays here because some friends not for the content.
