Yoshi's interview with Gamasutra is actually what inspired me to purchase and subscribe to FFXIV after the beta completely turned me off to the game. I'm happy to see some of the critically important changes that have already been put into the game, and I look forward to the changes coming under his direction.

His openness and informal style of communication is very refreshing after Square|Enix seemed to be so closed to concerns and feedback. It reminds me of the attitudes from CCP, who are probably my favorite MMO developers to watch (and whose MMO I've also been a happy subscriber to for years).
