Hello everyone!

I wanted to pass along Yoshi-P's messages as there is quite a bit of encouragement in this thread.

He recently attended the SQUARE ENIX OPEN Conference, which was a 2-day long conference that focused a lot on the technology and process behind the creation of the Agni's Philosophy tech demo. He will also be participating in a live stream on NicoNico where it will be possible to call in and talk while on air.

Thanks so much for all the words of encouragement! I'm so happy for all the responses about the SQUARE ENIX OPEN Conference and today’s live NicoNico call!

In regards to the conference, the articles for each of the media are starting to be posted on their sites, so please take a look.

The entire technology development department will appear on NicoNico live at long last! Once I get word of the schedule I will let you all know!

Regardless of what line of work you're in, when you give it your all and work hard, you'll get tired, and that's tough. However, this time around, I'm really able to see the fruits of the hard work when I see you all playing and I'll continue work as hard as I can for all of you. I really want to thank you all for that.

However, there are times in both work and school when no matter how hard you try you might not see results. Despite this, the experience of giving it your all will remain with you, and I believe that those around you will take notice.

As long as I have the enormous responsibility of working on FINAL FANTASY, I will continue to put in all of my effort and aim for the best results. I believe that nothing is more important than putting in every ounce of effort, so I'd really appreciate it if you can keep this in mind too.
