Dualshockers' Gamescom 2013 Interview with Naoki Yoshida

I figured I'd link to this on the Lodestone, too. ^^;

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is only a few days away, and for those that will be able to partake in the early access phase, the floodgates will open as soon as tomorrow.

But if you can’t wait, we have a treat for you. At Gamescom in Cologne I had the chance to have a long chat with Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida about his vision for the present, and more importantly the future of the game. You can enjoy it directly from my point of view in the two videos at the bottom of the post. . .

Awesome stuff, Abriael!

2.1 will be much bigger than launch client.

Can someone write the main points please? Can't see videos right now :/

[Eldaena]

Please, Yoshida! Re-evaluate the voice-acting!

Interesting interview. I believe this is the first time I've heard anyone at SE suggest that Wada was the one to blame for 1.0 more than Tanaka.

Also good to hear that the new president of SE is more of a gamer than his predecessor.

Good stuff! I do think (and hope) that Yoshida will stay on XIV for as long as possible though. The mini minstrel question was really funny as well

Also, am I the only one who kept staring at that awesome Ishgard backdrop everytime the camera turned to Yoshi?

Anyways, nice interview, thanks for the info!

Whoa "I expect less than 100 people will beat Binding Coil of Bahamut before first update"? Challenge accepted!

I'm always wary when MMO devs under estimate the players like that. The SWTOR devs thought it would take some time for people to complete EV and it was cleared in 8 hours. There's going to be guilds who will just try over and over and over and over till stuff is cleared. If he thinks less than 100 people will clear it, I'd guess at least 1000 people will.
