Has anyone else noticed Yoshi's attatude at PAX?

[ErikMynhier]

He seems like he is tired of the nonsense to me. Asked about harder stuff and he answers basically (paraphrasing here) "If we make it hard they complain, if we make it easy they complain."

Asked about the ilv280 weapons and he literally says everyone need to calm down.

There were parts where he seemed if not on the surface, a bit irritated. I may be reading to much into his words and body language, but it just felt like watching a man on his last nerve watching him this weekend.

Am I the only one who noticed this?

[Ririta]

He seems tired of this hardcore minority wanting to dictate the direction that everyone should go.

To be honest I'd be tired, too. Just go look at Reddit, all the stink over this damn weapon. On the other hand, if he didn't make it worth obtaining, the content would be dead and people would be complaining too. "Tired formula", "stagnation", "failed experimental content", etc.

Tired of us NA-Goers. I bet $50 on it.

Probably reading the General Discussion with his team looking like:


I don't blame him!

[ErikMynhier]

I'm kind of worried what I saw was real. Its the first sign of a Producer leaving a project and I'm not sure I would keep playing if he left. And people who see me on the forums a lot know that's not something I threaten nor is it a threat. I'm legitimately unsure if the game would speak to me without his vision.

To be fair his response to the 280 weapons was dishonest. He didn't address our time put into the anima. If for instance he said the anima is a better time investment I would have agreed with him but he just said anima was flat out better when coven weapons are far superior.

Also, the questions were flat out dumb. #DeleteBalmung

Maybe a combination of jet lag and stress since SB is launching in about 3 months or maybe he just thought some of the questions were dumb.

The whole difficulty thing to me made no sense. Anytime they make something hard they make it stupidly hard and when they make something easy they make it so easy why do you even bother... They never go for a middle ground which just confuses me. Also you need to remember each time he does these Q&A the same questions just keep coming up which always relates to Glamour every...single...time. They even said you can ask the guy about Stormblood yet hardly anyone asked about Stormblood =_=

Also him making it ilvl 280 in diadem asked for this to happen. He didn't need to do it but he knew if they put 280 there people will complain so honestly I don't feel bad. Recently he just hasn't been thinking about things very logically and you can clearly see a big disconnect from the community now.

Honestly I don't hate the people who ask glamour questions but one day I hope they have a Q&A saying no glamour questions because it's kind of getting out of hand.

I have noticed that when faced with a suggestion, he answers with "if we do __ then people will complain" more often now.

I'm pretty sure he's under a lot of stress with getting Stormblood released on time. Fanfest ended not too long ago and now he has to go to PAX and face some of the people complaining.

He did mention that he wants to step down as producer (or something similar) but he has not found a suitable replacement, yet

They really should been275 that way both are worth doing, don't have a relic yet? why not, dedicated to your job? get relic

also why delete balmung?

He is pretty worn out with working on this game. He's mentioned before that he'd like to just be a director for it and find another producer, and that he doesn't get payed much more for being producer and director on the project even though it is significantly more work. Also keep in mind that a normal office job in Japan will have you showing up at 8AM and going home at 10PM 6 days a week. I'd imagine he's more than a little burned out right now.
