Chat Bubbles CONFIRMED! - My EXCLUSIVE Interview with Yoshi P

[@Preachgaming]

Keeping this secret was difficult XD - We were given the rare opportunity to sit down with Naoki Yoshida himself and talk all things FF14 and where the game is going. both Mike and Yoshi P had a great time so I hope you enjoy as well. Also, we did only have access to 2 LAV mics for the interview so some of the sound is a bit wonky but I've done what I can to make it decent to listen to.

[@ginoh007]

Do hope you did get to go out for some wine :D

[@melissas4874]

So this wasn't part of the media tour? Saying it was "exclusive" makes it sound like it was outside of media tour.

[@daniellucas5522]

@@melissas4874 Most of the media tours involve a few exclusive interviews - it just means there's only one person doing the interview as opposed to the group sessions or open sessions at other points.

@@waltwhite8126 that may be true, he does seem to be responding to the question before it's translated.

[@Prism_Heavy]

@@waltwhite8126 All of this. Yoshi P can actually speak very good English but there was a live letter that came out a few years ago (during shadowbringers) where he said he wasn't confident with it so he hardly speaks it.

Having you involved in the XIV community has been great. Your love of games has been on full display since branching out from Blizzard stuff and it's refreshing.

[@Exorion1er]

I am so, so happy that Naoki Yoshida is the one handling FFXIV and that SE is keeping him at the helm, because oh my god is he ever so damn good at what he does !

[@RavusNox-z5i]

Yeah, he's incredible. He also organised the team of FFXVI extremely well.

[@TheOneGreat]

He did some great things, especially in regards to 1.0 to 2.0 but the current battle system is very boring and uninspired. And FFXVI was an overall disappointment to me. Still have a lot of respect for YP. It can't be easy. 💛

[@StormierNik]

I hope he keeps well and healthy because this man is probably one of the few people in the games industry i feel like actually fully understand a variety of games and why they should be the way they are.

[@RavusNox-z5i]

@@TheOneGreat FFXVI was a success to me and my GOTY 2023 despite some massive flaws. I put in 200+ hours in it. First of all, the game has the best character graphical quality in gaming ever, besides FF7 rebirth. It also arguably has the best voice acting in a game ever. For those two points alone, and creating an incredible cinematic experience, I give the game an 8/10. Yes the combat was mid and the world/questing as well. But they can only improve on that. Also, something to keep in mind is that FF franchise was doing terrible with FF13/FF15 and in comparison FF16 is a solid improvement over those games and put the franchise back on track. So overall, Yoshida did the impossible. Put FF back on the map. Yes it's not a deep RPG. But it put Square Enix on track to make a great FF17.

[@TheOneGreat]

@@RavusNox-z5i See, you said it looks and sounds nice so it's amazing. I'm playing a game, not watching a movie. Gameplay is a distant first and that aspect was boring. Not to mention the lifeless overworld and the bafflingly bad side quests. Rebirth is great, though, I agree.

[@SubduedRadical]

The thing that always gets me about that: Have people SEEN other MMOs? WoW's graphics are literally cartoonish. So were Wildstar's. Runescape's were made in the early Java era and may have been hand drawn. Like, outside of maybe Rift or Elder Scrolls, what are these people looking at that isn't either cartoony, anime-esque, or both?

[@Hawkenwhacker]

@@SubduedRadical Probably because those are western developers and anything that doesn't conform to that perspective is weird, or childish. I would wager that it's a mixture of culture shock and potentially some layer of xenophobia.

[@SubduedRadical]

@@Hawkenwhacker Nah, I'm more saying I don't think that's as much of a reason as people give it credit for. I think it's more people looking for excuses. Some people get very strong MMO brand loyalty and so will be dismissive of anything else for the stupidest made up reasons possible. Because they aren't being dismissive for that reason. They decided to just be dismissive and are latching onto any reason they can find after the fact to justify their pre-decision.

[@MilkshakeGuruTTV]

"Chat Bubbles CONFIRMED!" FINALLY! I was legit in the closed Beta for this game and one of the pieces of feedback I tried to tell the dev team was to include chat bubbles and WHY for RP/social reasons. I created a whole forum post about it back then. A bunch of random people came in and shut me down saying it wouldn't improve the social aspect and not everything should borrow from WoW. To this day I still sit in SW or in front of Goldshire and chat people up. Chat bubbles will ALWAYS feel more personal than the chat box. I also suggested they be an option to toggle off and on for players who don't want it. But here I am like 10 years later and the thing I said to have from the beginning finally happens! This is soooo cool. Now walking up to people they will know you are talking to them even easier!

I'm glad that you left it edited like this because this felt more like an actual conversation than simply a straightforward question and answer segment. I'm sure other people will whittle this down to simply the questions and answers for brevity but for me part of the joy and entertainment of seeing content like this is the actual conversation itself as you get to see how people accept the information being presented to them in real time along with whatever emotions come along with it.

[@Plasmacat1]

Best Yoshida interview I seen by far in all these years. I hope you guys get to chat eventually more in depth.

[@ninnoofthelastunicorn]

Fascinating that they prioritize the time it takes to complete a dungeon rather than the content in itself. Which probably is why I never feel too taxed to complete one in a roulette. That said, with how simple the dungeons can be, they are seeking other ways to give more complicated, longer dungeons via the other systems, I wonder what they will come up with

[@billy65bob]

Also interesting that they target 30 minutes. Which is about how long it takes to do with Duty Support. Explains a lot tbh...

[@Hawkenwhacker]

"Mechanics are for cars." Despite it being a meme, it can be said it's helped form the way people approach the game. I've been in groups where people completely ignore them, and then we wipe and the group doesn't know how or doesn't care to learn from it. The player base is just as responsible. It's a symbiotic relationship after all.

[@Eden-nf5pm]

Awesome interview! Thanks for sharing this with us.(:

[@LordoftheDice]

12:57 In another interview I saw, he spoke about how when he first started working on FFXIV back in 1.0, there was a case where White Mage could cast Cure 3 basically as much as they wanted without fear of running out of MP. Of course, this meant that all the other healing spells were rendered moot and there was never a reason to cast anything else. It was just bad game balance, so he implemented changes to make it so they would run out of MP if they just spammed their most powerful healing ability. However, this led to backlash from the players who now felt stressed, because now they had to actually consider their resources and what spells to use when. He said it was something that surprised him, but it was also a valuable learning experience. From then on, whenever they make a mistake, they always try to correct it ASAP and give an explanation to the players *why* the change is necessary, so that people don't get accustomed to a broken mechanic. But he also believes that small adjustments on a larger scale will allow people to enjoy the game and slowly be ushered towards a new direction, rather than suddenly changing direction all at once, which can be disorienting and lead to people not enjoying the game. It's a very interesting design philosophy. Of course, if the adjustments are too small, it can make people feel like the game is stagnating or not really going anywhere, so it's a balancing act.
