Legendary developer and producer Naoki Yoshida aka Yoshi-P amazes his fans in the Final Fantasy XIV livestream with a Nintendo Switch. It features Nintendo’s recently released The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Although new content for the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV should be the focus, fans of Yoshi-P are not disappointed. But on the contrary.
What happened on the live stream? 2 days ago the “FFXIV Live Letter 77” was streamed. In it, the new content and changes of patch 6.4 to the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV were presented and discussed. This also included changes to the Pandaemonium: Anabaseios Raid, such as increasing the drop rate and adding more armor pieces.

The stream featured Naoki Yoshida, the legendary developer behind Square Enix’s MMORPG. Nicknamed Yoshi-P by many of his fans, he once again managed to amaze his fans.
For the first time he attended the stream almost apathetically. Visibly irritated, his colleague then continued to moderate the stream, while Yoshi-P was still unimpressed. He seemed really lost in his switch. The reason: The new Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Couldn’t help but look at the game from a developer’s perspective.

User ☆オードリーAudrey☆ @aitaikimochi: Yoshi-P is coming to the FFXIV PLL Pre-Show today and Murouchi says “Seems like his heart isn’t really in it today” because he’s playing Zelda TOTK. lol
Other users are similarly enthusiastic about Naoki Yoshida:
Apparently, the users think it’s great that Yoshi-P also pays homage to the works of other game developers, far from his affiliation with Square Enix. Even if Nintendo has been able to suppress streamers again and again lately – it can be assumed that the Super Mario creator on the other hand certainly appreciates it when MMORPG greats like Yoshida do free advertising for the supposed masterpiece.
Who is Naoki Yoshida? Naoki Yoshida is a game developer and game director. In 2005 he joined Square Enix and was initially involved in the Dragon Quest arcade series.
