This has been requested for a long time… I really enjoyed getting some insight to the struggles of Square Enix during the development of FFXIV and 2.0. I had no idea that they were updating 1.X while secretly building 2.0. That’s just insane to me! Thank the Twelve that God-King Yoshi-P saved all creation from certain destruction.

Fuck yeah look how beefy this video is
Beautiful documentary which elevated my appreciation of the game as a new player.
Beautiful!
You should watch the GDC talk that Yoshi P did as well its quite good 🙂
11 was, and still is IMO, one of the best MMOs
“How do you feel about the idea of a Final Fantasy XIV Classic to give the old version of the game to players?”
“N I G H T M A R E!”
Yoshida San is such a class dude. And the stress that this man endured and honestly continues to endure on some level is honestly staggering to me. He rescued an iconic franchise and is now one of the stewards of it, and still he is a humble and kind person.
Imagine being one of Kojis students and now seeing him Rap on stage at concerts. It must feel surreal
I honestly love this documentary. It offers a completely new appreciation for the game the devs, for new and veteran players alike.
Me a tall dude in my country: No, I don't even know how to play that…
FINALLY !!! I was waiting for this thanks my dude!
7:17 here in Brazil many of us learned English by playing games (and to allow us to play those games lol), so it's a thing most common than you'd think haha
"Imagine learning a new language just to play some videogames"
I…I – uh. I mean, yeah. Who does that?
"Now stands the second most popular subscription MMO"
"When was this made? 2017? Heheh"
this video popped up in my recommended while watching a different video, but now it's been hidden? has something gone wrong or have i cheated my way into a patreon only video somehow >:)
Perfect documentary for when you wait in queues as that DPS
Hey Pyro, it would be nice to link the original creator's link in the description. That docummentary is pretty well known but it's still a nice thing to do.
i feel like this same thing will happen to new world, but then it will be cancelled. such great potential
The Twilight over Thanalan at the end of the documentary is just so fitting.
The people saying that Soken isn't involved in XVI don't know what they're talking about. Because he was confirmed EARLY as working on that game's music. And before anyone reminds me that Soken was battling cancer for the last year, you DO realize that trailer was released over a year ago right? Soken had more than enough time to do music for XVI before his inevitable cancer diagnosis.
I love this documentary along with the Rise and Fall series. I still to this day love Yoshida's story about when he was speaking in front of the team the first time and telling them how hard they would have to work to fix the game, the first person to stand up and say "I can do it, let's go" was Soken. Fast forward 10 years later and Yoshida is crying about almost losing Soken to cancer at the Fanfest.
That is what makes this dev team amazing. They're basically one big family.
I remember I was deeeeeeeeeeeeeep into FF11 when FF14 released and we were very amused that FF14 failed. Fast forward 10 years and we are deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep into FF14 and loving it.
I've seen this documentary 3 times and I'm just now realizing they released finished and released GKMM because it would be something happy instead of reminding players of a tsunami. That makes me appreciate GKMM a bit more.
Fun fact: Yoshi-P is kinda on the small side and because the offices are carpeted, programmers wouldn't hear him approaching until he was leaning over them and asking questions about what they were working on. This caused so much stress for the devs that they asked Yoshi-P to wear heavy boots to the office and jingly accessories so they could hear him coming which he still does to this day. He says it just became his style.
im still getting my discount, iv been subbed for over 3000 days… thank god for the discount.
Ive watched this documentary like 10 times now from all the react videos my favorite content creators are making, it doesnt get old
"I'm not gonna talk much"
proceeds to talk constantly 😀
I needed an excuse to rewatch this doc anyways, cheers!
Me: literally learning Japanese so I can talk to my friend in my FC
no shit i am studying economic engineering after i`ve studied civil engineering and i am still toying with the thought of doing my thesis regarding this , since this is going against every and i really mean that every thing they would teach you in a controlling or company managing classes. Its bonkers when you think about throwing your normal KPI`s out the window and just focus on your long term consumer relationship.
pyro we absolutely had the boradband attachement inthe US, i remember bc eq adventures was a thing with 11
As a person who has been with FFXIV since the Legacy Alpha testing, the original game was trash and deserved to get panned. But we stuck with it and look at it now.
