Is it? Judging by Michael's blunt demeanour I wouldn't put it past him.

It's supposed to be tongue and cheek.

It hurts the integrity of what is a clean read. It's unwarranted.

Really? I mean....really?

I think your taking a silly jab a slight too seriously.

- Multiple Jobs stemming from one class (example provided, Gladiator can become palidin or dk).
- Need, Greed, Pass Loot system
- Incorporating many standard elements from other MMOS
- Big changes to the "loot" system that is different than the current system, without telling us what

Such a good interview. All the better from it being conducted by someone actually playing the game.

Michael Vreeland (the interviewer) asked some really good questions, and he got some nice answers. Yoshida is also a really good interviewee: he's not afraid to be honest and straightforward, and he answers the questions he is asked, rather than taking the conversation off in a more "PR-friendly" direction.

It shows that Vreeland actually plays FFXIV. I love that he asked about things like the combo system and parley. He also got a really good answer regarding the possibility of XIV on future consoles. I know Yoshida has addressed this before, but this time he really seemed interested in making it happen sometime in the future. It wasn't just an "I dunno, whatever, maybe..."--it was more like "yep, we want to do that if at all possible."

They also did a great job of ensuring that Yoshida's personality came across in the article. Nice interview!

Yep, he have posted lots of times about his intentions too, and we in that LS liked it very much.
And it turned out to be better than I expected, of course being only played this game in 3 months.
