Jesse and JP sit down with Final Fantasy XIV’s loveable producer and rumored primal, Naoki Yoshida to talk Endwalker. So, of course, I spend the entire time trying to get him to laugh.
Seriously, check this game out! The base game and first expansion are now FREE (I’m on the Jenova server): https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/

Take part in the next saga of the critically acclaimed FINAL FANTASY XIV Online! Endwalker brings the tale of Hydaelyn and Zodiark to a conclusion eons in the making. To unravel its mysteries and conquer its challenges will be no common feat. May these records of key figures, looming adversaries, and lands yet untraveled serve you well.
Once, the world was whole, its people blessed─ere a great calamity threatened all in existence. The approach of the so-called “Final Days” caused a great schism among the ancients, culminating in the star’s shattering into fourteen reflections, incomplete and imperfect. With the second coming of that selfsame calamity looming on the horizon, the Warrior of Light must stand firm as hope’s last bastion.
Yet shadowed by their triumph in the First, the Warrior of Light and Scions of the Seventh Dawn are home at last. An even greater calamity than refulgent oblivion has been building in their absence, however─a second advent of the Final Days. Should all despair, the myriad conflicts that now ravage the land cannot but foretoken an end to life in the Source.
Take heart in the faith of those who walk beside you, and journey ever higher─to the very stars above.

50:05 – Are you, Yoshi P, a Primal?
54:42 – Jesse asks the greatest question of all time…
If you guys get lalafell to ride on shoulders, I'm changing immediately!
I honestly don't know how many developers take the time to meet with their fans like this. This guy is seriously amazing on so many levels.
Tataru BETTER be still important in the post-Hydaelyn/Zodiark story. It's only part one of her scheme for world domination, and I'm all for it.
Such a good interview. Thank you so much <3
big up the translator
good at her job
Every game development company needs a Yoshi-P, the entire industry would benefit greatly from it. He clearly loves the game and community and just wants everyone to have fun.
What a great interview! Great job Jesse and JP. Streamers have come a long way. I am so proud of the youtube and twitch communities and how we have grown.
thank you aimi-san!
33:39 – How will the new job leveling system work? – So side quests will be more worth it?
wish i could give another "like" just for the fact you guys got Aimi in the video aswell
Is there anything more wholesome than Yoshi-P politely asking for Japanese subs to American streams?
In the first minute yoshi p showing the legend he is
Oh man that last question has me flashing back to mabinogi yeeeears ago
You heard it here first: Tataru is the MOST important.
Yoshi-P is suh a sweet guy, I would honestly love to meet him one day and tell him how much his work inspires me. I love how he treats his fanbase with so much respect, and allows himself to meme together with the players and entertains these silly questions we make in interviews just for fun. Aimi is looking so comfortable in this video too, she's owning the translation job like a queen, and seeing how she developed along the years is so great. I am looking forward to the many hours I'll sink in Endwalker just like I did with every expansion before it ♥
He saw you cry Jesse and that is so amazing!
10.20 Yoshi P reaction was like you were emotional in ShB?.. I ll squeeze everything out your eyes in EW 😀
Yoshi laughing at Tataru was so wholesome
this man is so brilliant, i could listen to him talk forever.
So Jesse when are you gonna be hiring a Japanese translator to start making some CC in Japanese for your streams
The translator is far more fluent than most bilingual people. Its actually shocking that she can be so talented on a skill like that
First Jeff Goldblum and now Yoshi-P? Shin-Jesse in his final form! 🙂
That final question Jesse, that's why i like you!
Much more digestable at 1.25 speed btw guys
Loved that even if it was the final question, yoshi-p was still down to have a long talk about it 'as friends and family' XD
thanks for this interview, Jesse and JP!
I have my own question, whether its funny or not:
"In Endwalker, are we gonna encounter that over pixelated flower pot in 1.0 as a sub boss?"
It's so fucking cool that the game director of one of the biggest MMOs on the market just made time to talk to Youtubers about the game. Not to mention that he must be really busy right now.
I don't want you to think of me as a primal…. that's not a no…!
tataru will always live on
Aimi Tokutake is amazing.
To answer the lalafell on other lalafells… PIGGY BACK RIDES!
4:22 the answer this question like YoshiP believe WoL can bring the light to the world
Not even seen the video yet and automatically have the biggest grin knowing this will be awesome 👏 😀
I love how you guys sit and listen while everything is being translated back and forth, very patient and professional
<3<3<3
Yoshi-P is family for dam sure
Aimi looks like YoshiP’s stand
YOSHI P <3 <3
I saw the twitter clip of the lalafell riding on the shoulders question, and I thought it was just Jesse sort of performing with the "as a friend…" shpiel, but turns out he was riffing on YoshiP's comment from the question right before. Jesse your creativity never disappoints! I hope that was the highlight of the interviews for Yoshi-P, he seems so wholesome. Some great actual questions and of course some very entertaining ones. Thank you Jesse and JP!
