FF14 dev team – gets cancer and works from hospital because he loves his game and the fans.
Blizzard employee – gets cancer and works from the hospital because money is more important.
wow that s japanese dedication for you omg that must have been hardcore for the game director
There are many good people in Asmon's chat. I see Pepe the Frog many times. This makes me happy.
Its not just respect, care and love from each one on the FF14 team, its in the Japanese culture!
Wow that OST….
Cancer is no fking joke, these little kids!!! man i hope you get it or a family member (i don't want to do happen) but if it's going to wake up your fking eyes! you'll know how painful it can be!!! – this guy a damn Beast!!! still working while going under treatment! – i never really play FFXIV now i want to check this out!!
I'm more disgusted of the people in chat saying the crying is fake…
There's a lot of fake crying videos… but this one is absolutely genuine. I'm appalled how much of a sociopath those people are… to not be able to tell what's real and what's fake. There's not much gain for telling people this story… This doesn't make the game more popular and generate more revenue.
It's our of their own volition that they revealed it.
Man… disgusting people.
All that toxicity in his chat. Goddamn. Imagine hating your own life so much, being so detached from reality – that you think cancer is something to joke about.
FFXIV is special. it went from a complete disaster (1.0, har har) to a love song from a group of people that truly love their craft, art through games.
But most of all, a damn good time. Global cooldown be damned, I got adrenaline rushes when I cleared hard content back in the day 5 years back. The technicality in these fights just blew me away and made me WANT to get good. I particularly LOVED the dungeons. I would spend entire sessions just running dungeons with our new players in the guild to help out. I ate up every moment.
No other game really did that for me, even WoW. I got a druid up to 80 in WotLK but got bored and never went back. It wasn't as technical to me. This came along and I was hooked for a long time. Had to stop though, life takes priority. But I do miss it, I didn't leave due to it being bad or anything like that.
The music is awesome in this game, the story is awesome, the community is awesome as a whole, I sincerely hope it stays this way. FFXIV made it. Watching videos like this only make me feel more for the people behind it, they share their lives with us. They are and forever will be a part of the community in FFXIV!
i also wanna point out that the guy with his back turned at 2:02 is also sokens BEST FRIEND (yoshi p). the reason his back is turned is because this wasnt the first he was hearing of this but soken is his best friend and they was keeping such a secret from everyone. he immediately burst into tears for being able to finally mourn for his friend. japanese culture though has a thing about not letting others see you cry and thats why he turned his back. the translator is also a good friend sokens (and is also a member of his band the primals), even he was unaware of this secret soken kept from everyone. i feel bad for him you can hear him trying not to choke up translating this secret to everyone and hearing it himself for the first time unable to process or react to it because he has to stay professional and on script. we dont deserve the ff14 dev team <3
this right here is exactly why we love the dev team so much. you can say what you want about the game, i get it its not ur cup of tea, but dont you FUCKING DARE say an unkind word about the dev team
Meanwhile… I took a sick leave 2 days ago cuz I had the sniffles. I Just watched netflix.
Dude's sweating in chemo while his boss texts him: "WHERE THE F ARE MY SONGS??????" 😀
"To The Edge" will mean something so much more from now on to fans old and new.
;-;
And that IS a pretty awesome track 🙂
The FF14 development team gives me faith in game developers again.
I've lost family and animals to cancer all I can say is that cancer is a real B*tch, but I'm glad that there are ways to cope and overcome it in anyway and I'm glad that this guy overcame it and is still around to compose great music.
"this is their Ian, I guess" I don't think any other game has a producer and director like Yoshida tbh
Wtf is wrong is this chat. Being edgy and attention whore to streamer about someone that was battling cancer. I genuinely disgusted.
I saw Soken and Nobuo Uematsu during a panel at the Frankfurt fan fest in 2017, and they were the most entertaining duo. The music has always been one of my favorite aspects of Final Fantasy, and Soken’s been an absolute rockstar
La HEE
While we may never end the war with cancer (because it's a part of evolution, which requires serious gene editing to change) we can still win every single battle with it. Science is going so far so fast, hearing someone in remission is always an actual miracle to me. Thank you to all the doctors and researchers.
Asmond is way out of the meta to understand the "Lahee" song and why it is a meme.
Erect a statue in-game to honour this man before you have to do it post-mortem!
ngl that song suck when live. kekw
Very intense, very humane, very humbling… in antithesis with WOW…
The music alone is one of the most amazing things in FFXIV..songs that really hit your heart and make you want to stay in zone for HOURS just listening to music.
Soken's a badass. . o . So many kudos to his work ethic! Please teach me your ways, sir ;-;!
