Yoshi-P: Okay, the last raid boss of the tier is inspired by Gundam. I trust you've got ideas for the music?

Soken: hits blunt What if Hiroyuki Sawano wrote "Defying Gravity?"

Yoshi-P: ...Perfect.

I just wanted to show my appreciation to  Naoki Yoshida for making a game where I met a ton of my friends, an helped me through some hard times. I had a long distance relationship with my husband and we had dates in this game. 10 years of ffxiv and good memories. Thank you for everything.

Greetings, Warrior of Light. This is a world that exists outside your reality. Could it be a dream? A flight of fancy conjured by your weary mind? Perhaps…or perhaps not. 'Tis a pleasure to meet you again. As I have in the past, I have beckoned you here that I might express my gratitude. Ten years have now passed since the world was reborn from its ashes. Since we set forth upon this journey. Countless things have happened during that time, and I've had the pleasure of meeting many an adventurer along the way. If truth be told, it hasn't always been easy. There are moments when I wonder why I must struggle so. Days when I'm tempted to cast it all aside. But in spite of this, I always manage to carry on, and it is thanks to my wonderful comrades─and to you, our esteemed adventurers. By now, I must have been regaled with tens of thousands of your tales. You usually share them with a smile, but even when it is with a frown, you tell me that you're still enjoying yourself. 'Tis no exaggeration to say that I derive all of my driving force from you all. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you. Ours is an unending journey, and nothing would make me happier than if we could keep walking it together. As you make your way, we promise that we will ever be at your side, matching you step for step. …Now, the time has come for this vision to end; time for your eyes to open from this waking dream. Much time has passed since the world was reborn from its ashes. Countless souls have made this place their home; every single one has left an indelible mark upon it. Together we have built this world, and it is our sincerest hope that we shall continue to do so for many years to come. So please be safe and well. May you ever walk in the Light of the Crystal.

-Naoki Yoshida, The Rising 2023, Final Fantasy XIV

Yoshi P and Emet-Selch: there's more to the world than just your lived experience. Explore. Learn. Appreciate. Add to those experiences and grow as a person.

And don't forget to help others if and when you can.

The specifics on how accessories work, and how long it has taken them to be able to figure out how to let us wear glasses is neat! I love the technical details. And BOY am I glad they asked some things I’ve wanted to ask for YEARS - like about if there will ever be plans to let us have more character customization, if we’ll ever be able to change glamour without the dresser, if we will ever be able to have character customization things unlocked from being tied to faces...like Au Ra horns! Admittedly I’m not super happy with the response... but at least the ideas are out there, and he is thinking about them!

Bringing Closure - Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker 6.1-6.55

This article contains major spoilers for Final Fantasy XIV, up to the most recent patch. At some point in the future what I’ve written here could become out of date. This would be true about every other piece of writing I’ve done on Final Fantasy XIV too. Any work about any game that relies on persistently online servers is inherently a time capsule. MMORPGs are constantly changing in ways that…

Nice to see that FFXVI continues the tradition.

Ah yes... once a year, the game's director/producer -Naoki Yoshida- visits us. How even, you'd ask?

Well, we're set on the path to meet with Bard Yoshi-P. And through him we travel through a dimension of vision to speak with the Naoki Yoshida himself...it just happened that the rest of his crew were a crowd of Lalafell at the time.

[teapots-and-hats]

Today I did something I thought would never be possible: I met YoshiP and Koji Fox in person and gave them drawings of themselves as gift! Their reactions was the best gift I could ever receive myself!

With gratitude for the journeys thus far, we look to the journeys still to come

Rising is an ingame event that held in the end of summer every year in FFXIV. During this event players and developers celebrate game anniversary. And you even can meet the Director of FFXIV — Naoki Yoshida — himself. As ingame character ofc. I think it's really touching.

As for this art... the funny thing that I was suggested to draw Yoshida-san for one of inktober entries in 2021 but... it seemed so complicated for me then. But this time I did my best to draw him OwO

PS: If you don't know how he looks you can google his name and see photos)

In other news, Yoshi-P is being a huge troll, and we love him for it!
