not only are the FFXIV dev team really respectful of their fanbase. they're also MASSIVE memers and shitposters. Soken in particular. man went through an incredibly tough time and first thing he does when he goes back into the public is shitpost his own song

[@evilgibson]

Koji touches a lot of the translation work with the sole purpose to 1) Get it translated and 2) get in as many bad puns as possible.

[@thenjry]

This documentary itself should be required watching for an dev lead. Yoshida should write a book.

[@TheTuberguy1000]

That assumes game devs in the west know how to read or read books at all.

[@shururus]

Yoshida did write a book. Well, a collection of articles for the magazine Famitsu, which were then collected into a book called "Yoshida Uncensored". There is a fan translation flying around.

[@thereGoMapo]

Yes, the story here will resonate with software dev leads in many industries outside game development/entertainment. Migrating is one of the HARDEST things to do. It's nice to see this. Congrats, Yoshi P.

[@SavixPlaylist]

Big Respect to the developers

[@sirhc8927]

Please pause when you’re talking if the video has speech happening concurrently.

[@davidsabillon5182]

@@sirhc8927 like you I thought the same. But if you think about it, how much longer will a video be if he did that? So I came to this conclusion. I'll first watch the original video then the reaction video. That way when they talk over the video I won't feel like I'm missing out on something. 🤜🤛 Edit: he listed the original video in the show notes like all good content creators.

[@AlexanderPR2]

They are heroes. The truly warriors of light who saved Eorzea.

[@maybeitsyou1317]

Huge respect, the biggest difference between wow and ff devs seem to be that the ff devs understand how people think and react in reality. Blizz devs are content with gaslighting their player base and shifting blame. Just look at how they responded to the big controversy they faced! Instead of announcing sweeping changes within the company they start changing sexual things in wow, reducing bust sizes and deleting artsy nude paintings. Like wtf? Honestly with everything they have said/done that was the last straw for me.

[@sanitarycockroach9038]

They have the talent and skill. They just needed someone to pull everything together. Once they got that person they were able to use their abilities to pull off a miracle.

[@yabiyabi]

Fun fact: YoshiP's 13 year old son came home one day, and, he isn't an FF14 player, but a huge Fortnite player... he walked up to his dad and was like "Dad, Fortnite did something so cool! They destroyed their city and rebuild it!" YoshiP was like "....But I did that too..." I laughed so hard LOL he sounded so bitter

[@audioostrich]

Yoshi P is a king - his game development philosophy and respect for players is why the game feels so rewarding to play and it doesn't feel like you're running through chores

[@waxbean9525]

i agree 100% blizz's "you think you do but you don't" we know better than you attitude got wow to where it is it almost feels as if wow dev's do not play the game if they do they would never have said "shadowlands will be an alt friendly" and would have added solo q by now FF14 is 100% more fun than wow FF14 has player housing / the cactus place is amazing

[@Arckan001]

@@waxbean9525 i 100% agree. Now i'm playing ff14 and it's pretty fun.

[@auriaska99]

Did Rising event doay, and he thanked players in game. its awesome seeing them so thankful towards playerbase which in turn makes playerbase thankful for developers like that. Which is way better cycle to have than shitting on your playerbase your playerbase shits on you get mad you shit even more and cycle just goes on.

[@Lunzatis_Palemoon]

@@auriaska99 What also helps is the transparency of Yoshi P and the FFXIV devs. If there is an issue, like server congestion, they let us know, implement things that will help, let us know they are working on a permanent solution, tell us if that permanent solution can be done soon and if not, why, and tells us they will continue working on it and thanking us for understanding. If more gaming companies did stuff like this, all of them would make so much more money and the gaming industry would see a golden age.

[@Lunzatis_Palemoon]

@@Arckan001 @rol pen Seeing all these new players in FFXIV and enjoying it really makes me happy and not only because it's great for FFXIV but because it will be good for the MMO genre in the long run. I think it will help start a new wave of innovation for MMOs and players demanding good quality and not just settling. I hope more MMOs will start making it able for players to do everything on one character.

[@jankentrexpalalay8879]

YoshiP is undoubtedly a god but don't forget the other god, SOKEN! If you have time, please do check out Soken's struggle as the person in charge of the music for FF14. He is without a doubt a god when it comes to making music for this game.

[@Cyraneth]

Naoki Yoshida was given a burden akin to that of Atlas, and he carries it to this day, with incomparable humility and dignity.

[@ninjathehuskey4373]

Underated comment.

[@knightdrako]

Blizzard: Wow so fascinating and very informative **while shredding evidence**

[@ifeanychukwu2412]

Every WoW player should watch this so they can see what a development team that actually gives a shit about their players looks like.

[@markup6394]

20:42 --- That monster (aka Googue) in the city (aka Uldah) is an event with heavy impact on Minfilia's life. You want to remember it :) 45:40 --- Yes, "The great Googue Wall" is an ingame legend :D Some random NPC mentions it in the MSQ and there are other small references. Dont worry too much about the "spoilers" in the video - by the time you see it, it'll be like "oh thats that" or "this kinda familiar". Its only fly-overs of random zones with no implication as of what you see :) When I saw these series I also thought "Hell, wish I had been there" :D I wont lie, I had lots of fun in WoW... but also honestly, I barely remember any of it :( I wont it was all a waste of time but I'm getting close...

[@leoryzap]

its Goobbue, but yes

[@MrD4nY3L]

Damn I cried to at that moment when he talked about train conversation. And that end of world event. It's bonkers.

[@yabiyabi]

I watched the documentary 10x and every time I say "I won't cry" at that point, I am curious if I will cry again... Update: I cried v_v

[@philip1983]

and is that their translator Ami-chan in the audience watching?

[@aileenswann]

@@philip1983 Yeah! I think so too, and the other one i think is who plays the piano on the live events (her name escapes me rn T_T)

[@PetarBladeStrok]

This dude Savix is reading chat more than he's listening to the video & reading translation. Missed half the dialogue. Same like when he's streaming FF14. But it's still Savix so you just have to love him. lol

[@internaut4257]

it annoys me to no end, but like you said, its still savix

[@Dr.Mrs.TheMonarch]

This is a great video. I'm glad you took the time to watch this. A lot of people don't know anything about the history of the games they play. They take things for granted. Like making a character jump.

[@MxMoondoggie]

Chat: React to this video it's really good! Also chat: Let's keep saying stupid shit so they get distracted and read our comments instead of react to the video... They literally gloss over the best part when Yoshida is talking about the attitude of the company at the time and how many parallels there are to Blizzard who became so big and renown only to think everything they make will be good. Instead the chat explodes into nostalgia wank and he joins in so misses all that stuff.

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Hopefully Noclip channel (original video) can produce a second part of this documental series, since it end at the launch of Stormblood. Would be interesting to know about the depth situation arround Shadowbringers, the playerbase growth and the upcomming Endwalker.

[@lyconxero457]

An interesting side-effect of watching people discover this documentary later is that, through interviews, we actually know a lot more about Yoshida-san and have way more context about the games that he’s played and how they’ve influenced him.

[@Mald_Master]

FFXIV is so powerful that it gives Savix english lessons when he isn't even playing the game. 🤯

[@auriaska99]

Probably someone mentioned already but you should watch the rise and fall of ffxiv it goes into more detail and from a player's perspective. I really loved how they incorporated the end of 1.0 into the beginning of 2.0 and by the end of 2.0 msq in-game Yoshi P character thanked players for sticking around. And his character thanked players again in the (currently) ongoing RISING event.

[@banzai0905]

I just noticed, Yoshida wears a House Fortempt necklace

[@mr_sn4k3s]

Damn, to think they turned the company's, arguably biggest failure into it's greatest success is absolutely commendable and astonishing.

[@ae86manny]

From Yoshida's interviews that I see so far he is a humble man.

[@CanadianYeti69]

This was Squares "Anthem" moment, but thankfully they were gods and saved it in the most crazy way, and rose it up to the top of MMOs.

[@brunohenriqueazevedoborges5490]

Watch the Fall and Rise of FFXIV, if you can! It shows this story from the optics of the game. It's a very complementary story to this documentary.

I sometimes wonder if Yoshida is a strict leader. To some degree that must have been necessary to unify everything into what the remade game became.

[@DeadRomanceArt]

Just wanna say that you're my favorite streamer.

[@goobermcboogerballs1420]

I think they are doing it again. Endwalker is a realm reborn 2.0. Just like the 'minor moon' destroyed the world then the 'major moon' which I think is sodiarc is going to crash into eorzia. Re watching this just made it click.

[@dafire9634]

[@monkeypolice3048]

Well savix your right but we ff11 didn't get a free trial back than. So they can't blame it on us because we were accustomed to ff11 play style. We all thought FF14 was a continuation from ff11, but it wasn't it was a new game itself. I have apologized and didn't regret my complaint because they wouldn't have listened to us. To me it is a lesson on both sides to never judge before you try it and never disappoint the players who invested their time and monthly subscription. I do apologize for all the bad comments but I think it was necessary at the time. I do play the game now and I have great fun. Thank you Square Enix your sacrifice made world of difference. We are small but we come in numbers. /bow please accept my apology.

[@Dotoku14]

Everything about this is wholesome

[@good_playlists]

Thanks for trying FFXIV even though the game is growing there still a few people that dont like the look and dont play it..

[@AtotehZ]

10:26 The staff at Blizzard are as different as the general population. Some know what's going on, some don't. Unfortunately it seems like at Blizzard the people in charge just don't. That's the difference in the team behind Square Enix. The people at the top are just as invested.

[@steweygrrr]

From a player's point of view I couldn't understand why they were trying to make FFXI 2.0, I was already playing FFXI why would I want to go and play something else only for it to be more or less a carbon copy of what I already had? Why not just put that stuff into XI where you know it would work? On the other hand I can see it from the devs side too, they had a formula that worked so did what games companies do and repackaged it with a different skin. That imo is what is wrong with the industry in general: things only gets looked at from one perspective and it is usually the business perspective.

[@Heinous_tv]

Tbh wow needs to. Reset everyone to lvl 1. All players who played van-SL keep all achievements/mounts/pets/gear etc etc. Make everyone a “hero” and existing character before you log in to the world you get to chose wether you want to continue let’s say your old mage character as a mage or you can choose to be a warrior now instead ( when logging in you get gear/wep equal in scale and stats but for plate ). Then have a MSQ kinda like FF14 that tells the story of the new narrative of the game. Maybe do 1-50 lvls or 1-40. Have mounts very something you unlock relatively early maybe 15-20. And have lvl 10 be where you can pick up another class to play like mage/warlock/monk. And instead of having what like final fantasy has with job lvls. Just have it be where you lvl just as the character like always and you can basically just switch classes as you want. Just give the class a quest chain of some sort. Many many more ideas I can go on about that pretty much just mirror FF14. But it works. Not only would it bring back old players, it would bring new players, possibly FF14 who may find it familiar and easy for them to understand. It would be cool IMO. Obviously they shouldn’t mirror EVERYTHING but I think the MSQ/Job like system but in wow would be great. And clearly give all those OG players a mount/achievement/tabard/ and pet for playing. Ps. They would have to have slight references to the old game kinda like FF14s MSQ. And have it be balanced to where new players wouldn’t be like ???? What did I miss??? So they’d have to figure something out.

Yoshida-san is an absolute badass

[@philip1983]

wait is that the trainslator Ami-chan in the audience????

[@LunaMirage]

Nice video and reaction. I think Blizzard has the same current issue as was mentioned in the beginning. "All of these have these separate parts." WoW would be fun if you COULD do all the things once.... However they're meshed together incredibly poorly and you have to repeat sooooo much of it. Additionally most of it doesn't feel OPTIONAL!!!! In FF14 outside of the main story quest line the only thing that is mandatory is item leveling for dungeons and the main story quest line. Torghast is cool, but I don't wanna have to be forced to do it. Not even once...... I certainly didn't like doing it more than once.....

[@pookie6659]

I swear to god savix sounds like forsen here

[@AymenDZA]

People seem to forget that if FFXIV ARR and the whole "plan B" had failed, Square Enix would have died.

[@8bitchiptune420]

FFXIV is not the only game Square Enix sells.

[@AymenDZA]

@@8bitchiptune420 I know but the loss that a numbered FF game would have incurred would have been catastrophic, back then they didn't make as much games as they do now. You can't afford to screw up your MAIN IP even if you have others.

[@PokepoppinTV]

The death of ff14 would have been the death of square. No ff15, no nier automata, barely getting by with deus ex machina, ff13 fell flat. It was a bad time for square.

[@TacynMegan]

and then Yoshida channeled his inner Sylvanas and said...BURN IT!

[@sirhc8927]

Savvix. You should pause when you talk if someone else is talking.

[@pannacotta9493]

They couldn't scrapped ffxiv because at this time period ffxiii and the rest of its compilation of fabula nova crystalis didn't do that well, if 14 fails then they're afraid that final fantasy would die as a franchise, and in the worst way possible. Ffxiv 2.0 would also be the start of the renaissance for Square as the mentality of the company changed after that, restructuring the company and leading to a number of great games to be developed, such as NieR Automata, Octopath traveler, Bravely Default and others.

[@arcadeashdown3579]

Here's a question: If SE had released 1.0 at the quality level of 2.0, would it have been as successful as it is now, with the success of 2.0 shining next to the failure of 1.0?

[@NessieNice]

Many veterans started their journey and became "tempered" never knowing 1.0 exist. Also, success of 3.0 shining next to 2.0 and later 5.0 shining next to 3.0, so yes, I think XIV will still be successful.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I can't hear WoW players when they complain about ANY games graphics. You played a garbage cartoon gtfo. I played it too but I never got caught up in the look of it because it's the worst laziest animation I've seen this side of the 70's.

[@waxbean9525]

FF took and made the things that people liked and wanted from blizz. if blizz just did real player housing / guild hall ( GH would be ok if it was like the garrison where you get some quests build some stuff and display statues of guild accomplishments ) and make a better darkmoon fair (so lame ) add solo Q / better valor / hnr system no caps and NO time gating hit me up blizz ill fix your game

[@realmweavergaming7129]

Everquest 2 came out around the same time as WoW. WoW was just far superior at the time. I’m fairly certain EQ2 still has expansions but it’s advertising seems nonexistent. Everquest Next was supposed to be the next revolutionary MMO but turned into vaporware when the team split up and the company bought up by a new studio. If you are curious about EQ Next look it up and what happened to it. Very sad story.

[@Tsuna_SoulSilver]

I'll be honest I don't think he will like FFXIV at all and if he were to play it, it would be playing his own way and the FFXIV fans will not like it either (possibly skipping cutscenes, boosting, etc.). Also PvP is his thing and Savix said that he doesn't like it. He is in a tough spot right now but I feel he has the problem that most WoW players that can't leave atm. They are too attached to it. Also if he really want to make more content that is not just WoW he can't just go one and done kind of thing. Also getting a secondary channel for other games would have helped greatly (because you know KZbin)
