But I'm worried about your well-being

Wow... I was under the impression Yoshi-P was a grown ass man....

He makes video games... He isn't the president or a fire Fighter or a soldier fighting a war....
To soldiers who have guns and bombs going off all around them...
To firefighters who rush into burning buildings
To Doctors who save (And often times fail to save) lives
To world leaders whose decisions affect Billions of people
I pray for their well being

And you know what... I love this game... I'm a borderline white knight (Im too much of a realist to go all the way white), I love the direction the game is going and I think Yoshi is handling it well...
My issue isn't with him... its with people who take his well being like its their own health....
the people who deify Yoshi like fans do Tim Tebow
Most people have stressful jobs... most of us have been in positions where our careers hinged on some massive project
Many MANY of us have put in long hours, long weeks and long months...
we've been sick... we've been tired.... we've been hurt...
Instead of wasting energy worrying about the health of a grown ass man... worry about your health.. your well being.. the well being of the people around you...

Somewhere right now there is a father who owns a store, and supports his family...
But is in danger of losing it all the same way many small business owners are doing right now...
Go make a thread dedicated to him..

If you're that worried about other peoples health, go volunteer at a soup kitchen or Habitat for Humanity
Worry about the things that you can change... Not the health of some dude working on a video game

I'm not trolling you... I'm not being mean...

and honestly... if you're job is killing you... you either change or die...
Thats called life

I'm nobody special, not like for example Doctor Mog who everyone knows

no comment... clearly no comment

Some people need to stop drinking the haterade and start drinking the bubble tea.

I'm taking a Project + certification class, and Yoshi, I see what you did there. Thanks for giving me a solid example to use in my mind when going over theories and what not in class.

Chiming in my encouragement.

Yoshi-P is an MMO veteran. There is absolutely NOTHING we can say here that would surprise or phase him at this point. I'm not too worried.

I want to throw in my thanks as well, Most fun MMO I have played in a long while. Thank you Yoshi-P and Team for continuing to work hard for the sake of us players and fans.

/bow to the FFXIV team and Yoshi-P who does deserve a better nickname at this point, I think he's proven he can handle this game and being a producer of an mmo, he knows what we like and need.

Horray for Yoshi!

To anyone who to doesn't agree with this thread, you're arguing with well wishing lol

Cheers to those who support the team!

not bad... * Obama face*

I have to say, this game has already come a long way. What started out down that Rocky road is beginning to take the form of something new and inventive. Thank you Yoshi, and all the FFXIV development, QA, production, support (including the poor moderators), players, and all other people for not losing hope or giving up!

Final Fantasy was one of the first games I ever played. It has been one of the great drives in my life to become a software developer. And while I may never work on something as great as this franchise. I do take heart in seeing it weather one such a rough part of its life.

Yoshi, your skill and leadership deserve a great level of recognition as does the skill and dedication of those you work with.

Keep up the great work!
