    Is there anyway we can get Akihiko Yoshida to come back?

    I miss his art and design work in the game so much. It defined the look of XIV for me, but I don't think he's done much more for the game since ARR. Where did he go? Is he mad at us?

    Not to say the other artists are bad, just I thought Yoshida fit the game's aesthetic so well. I want him to come back and give us more skintight leather outfits and assless pants.

    He was the lead artist for ARR but only the character designer for HW and SB. He also left SE in 2013. So it kind of makes sense he has a reduced role if he was just a freelancer for the expansions.

    I also miss Akihiko's touch in the overall art direction. Specially in the artifact gear. FFXIV art direction is top notch in general, so I'm not complaining (not even close to that!) but I really really love his art so I'm biased, of course.

    I was really happy with Ivalice raid not only because of the history but also because the sets are amazing and FFT artstyle is prob one of my biggest inspirations.
