It is clear that Ultimate Fantasy 14’s producer and director, Naoki Yoshida, is in it for the love of the sport. As reported by Automaton and GamesRadar, in a latest joint interview on the Ultimate Fantasy 14 Fan Competition in Tokyo, Yoshida went as far as to ponder what would occur to the sport within the occasion of his firing from Sq. Enix, and even his demise.
On the lighter aspect of these potential futures, Yoshida quipped that if he have been ever fired from Sq. Enix, he’d attempt to begin over from the underside yet again as a contract developer on Ultimate Fantasy 14. Failing that, Yoshida can be content material with a dignified retirement as a type of gamers who’s at all times complaining concerning the recreation to its builders—you understand the kind. I do not know if I’ve ever cherished a videogame as a lot as Naoki Yoshida loves Ultimate Fantasy 14.
Yoshida’s musing about his personal demise, in the meantime, was shocking and surprisingly transferring. Although the 50 year-old developer hopes to reside for an additional “20 or 30 years,” he acknowledged that “Even when I have been to break down proper right here and now, my crew can be simply high quality.
“There will not be one other one who can discuss concerning the enlargement for 2 hours in entrance of an enormous viewers on the Tokyo Dome like me, however I’ve little question that my crew can ship the identical data and identical quantity of pleasure.”
Ultimate Fantasy 14 simply appears to have this impact on veteran Japanese RPG builders. The collection’ unique creator, Hironobu Sakaguchi, not too long ago admitted that, for his first few months taking part in the sport, Ultimate Fantasy 14 “took up about 80%” of his waking hours. I simply hope these guys keep in mind to face up and take breaks now and again—perhaps FF14 wants these cheeky Nintendo Wii loading screens that let you know to go exterior for a bit.
