Final Fantasy XIV is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed and published by Square Enix. Directed and produced by Naoki Yoshida, it was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 3 in August 2013, as a replacement for the failed 2010 version of the game, with support for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and macOS releasing later. Final Fantasy XIV takes place in the fictional land of Eorzea, five years after the events of the original 2010 release. At the conclusion of the original game, the primal dragon Bahamut escapes from its lunar prison to initiate the Seventh Umbral Calamity, an apocalyptic event which destroys much of Eorzea. Through the gods’ blessing, the player character escapes the devastation by time traveling five years into the future. As Eorzea recovers and rebuilds, the player must deal with the impending threat of invasion by the Garlean Empire from the north.

Soken is an absolute gem and must be protected at all costs. Gives To the Edge song even more power and feels to it imo.
Fun fact in this video he’s wearing a wig due to the chemotherapy.
Watching Yoshi-P through this broke me. My wife was battling cancer when this came out and it really hit home.
"I don't know what to do with my hands."
You wipe the tears away with them, Kro. You wipe the tears away.
Doesn’t matter how many times I watch this, I cry every time <3
The song 'To the Edge' gets a whole new meaning through this.
I have and had the same sentiments toward Blizzard after watching this…This kinda of support and emotion would never happen there
@Pheytt did a typo there he put Play WoW and quit WoW, you mean Play FFXIV? XD
Now i really want Krojak to see the big music collab that Alex Moukala and Husky by the Geek put together to welcome back Soken.
To understand why it is so powerful…. well the Japanese society normally would NEVER do such stuff, showing invul into the public is not see as a good move.
I just cried again…….
Watching this gives you the best example of why the FFXIV fan base is so fanatical in its promotion of the game and its development team. It's a great game, and the devs care about their players, like genuinely care.
It's one of those things where if his music didn't tell you he was an artist his conduct did. Happy he got to do things in his terms.
It's terrible news whoever it is but Sokens personality and interaction with the game and community over the years endeared everyone. It certainly hits different.
Now you understand, anyone can critique ffxiv as a game but if they personally attack the devs, the community is going to be super pissed.
Kro should really watch the ff14 Music rearangement many youtube and twitch musicer made for Soken. Or his reaction to it
Yoshi-P is the actual WoL and Soken is one of his scion friends.
Dear Diary,
The onion-cutting ninjas have struck once more. I will attempt to be more vigilant in the future.
According to Yoshi-P, Soken was wearing a wig for the Digital Fanfest, where this video comes from.
There is a basic boss mob FATE in Eastern La Noscea called "It's Not Lupus", which has as it's boss monster a level 32 Megalocrab named Cancer (referring to the astrological sign).
Since this every time I've seen it come up, players jump on it fast, usually with cries "For Soken!"
this is why we as the ffxiv community love this game and this dev team, actiblizz would never come out this transparent and keep working on a game and its music, they would halt all production and development and we would never know whats going on, we didnt know what was going on in japan till it was all said and done, i love this team, i love soken and i love yoship, they are all gems to us
I beleive Yoshi P had another friend fighting cancer at the same time as Soken but didn't make it.
This is the reason why we defend this game so fiercely. Why this team is so beloved by us fans. What they do for us players through Covid – good luck getting that at Activision Blizzard.
And just like that I am crying again
Everytime. I was watching this live, and I have watched it time and time again, to show my friends, and my wife, and to watch every reaction from several streamers and YouTubers. I cry every time.
i watched this live and i got tears. watching this again i get the same tears
I can't watch this without losing it… If Blizzard gave 1% of what the Yoshi, Soken, and the FF14 dev team give…. Could only imagine.
This took a lot of guts because publically talking about your hardships or especially crying are much more taboo in Japan than in the west.
The community will turn into paladin if anyone criticise the devs, not the game itself, because of this super commitment and love they have to their crafts.
Yoshi-P also publicly cried and apologized for 1.0 and the initial problems after 2.0 was released.
I still get tears watching this……it is so powerful, and as said by other content creators, and people in the community, this is why fans, and the community are so fervent in defending this game. The devs actually give a damn.
