Aimi's fanbase probably rivals Yoshi-P's by now lol. And rightfully so, I couldn't imagine anyone else for the job. She seems so involved/invested and is not just a person who was brought in to translate an interview about something they barely know/care about.
Holy crap, so happy for you Quazii!!! From a humble sprout at the end of Shadowbringers to interviewing the legend himself not even 2 expansions later! All your hard work and dedication really paid off! 😭
It seems like yoshi P understood a fair bit of what the interpreter was saying and what Quazii was saying. Edit: I’ve always known this guy was a legend, but it didn’t “register” until this interview. I could sense contentment, sincerity, and this calm passion(if that makes sense) when he speaks. When he said “no one else can do this but me”, he was simply speaking the truth. Nothing was exaggerated and nothing was false. This is a true master of his craft. I can truly understand why people like him so much now and can see why this game has been so successful. Here’s to another ten years of success
Well, they say the best way to learn a language is to immerse yourself in it. It's possible Yoshi-P has spent so much time around English-speaking people that he's picked up a fair bit of it, even if he doesn't speak it well enough to talk without an interpreter.
@@clintonwilcox4690 I think this is exactly what it is. I watched the Preach interview too and both times there's times when he was nodding along to what the English speaker is saying. He also knows exactly when the translator finishes saying his statement in English and immediately adds follow up
The best part of that interview was your permanent smile. I can only imagine how sore your cheeks are after all that. Congrats Quazii, so happy for you.
What YoshiP adresses at the 20minute mark is so true. You listen too the wrong kind of player feedback and allow the community to have leeway over what is actually best for the game. Anyone with a braincell can tell that spamming cure 3 to bypass mechanics is not a good design choice and not healthy for the game, whoever is whining about making the game "harder" due to that change, is actively hurting the longevity of the game. It's hard to balance listening to the community and thinking about the best for the game not necessarily whats best for the loudest minority.
You are a big part of how great the ff14 was shaped during the exodus from WoW and I'm glad you're getting this recognition from the team. Well deserved and hope to see you in more events and in Dawntrail. Looking forward to watching your journey there too.
Wahhh, Quazii on the media tour!! Congratulations so exciting for you to meet Yoshi P~!!!!!! Your questions are so thoughtful, thank you for all your hard work and your content through the years it has been a joy to follow your journey !
I remember seeing your first steps of tanking in this game. Always loved how you took input from the community to heart and adapted it quickly. Great to see how your love to the game got you into a position where you could interview the producer and with such amazingly good questions too.
What a great interview! Love that you were able to meet him and have a meaningful conversation. ❤Loved it. It shows how much passion and love you also have for both WoW and FF14. 😊Thank you for sharing this. ❤
You did great Quazii! Having done a few interviews myself i can understand what it feels like, although i never sat at a table with the people i interviewed, and i never got to interview YoshiP. Congrats on the opportunity to finally meet him :)
Wonderful questions Quazii, you're a great interviewer, I really enjoyed the more personal questions you asked it was nice to learn more about Yoshi-P's design philosophies and what keeps him going.
This is something I've been subtly dreaming. I started playing in late Shadowbringers and I'm having a blast with XIV. I love the story, gameplay and so many other things. I wish I could meet Yoshi-P in person. If only they could bring fan fest or media tour to Finland...
I still remembered watching Quazii on his day1 of FF14. later then joined his stream too see his fresh personality and had some fun... and now he got interview with Yoshi-P ? what a great journey ! I'm so happy for you Quazii !
Congrats on landing the interview with Yoshida! Hopefully you had a blast getting to talk to him. I would. In my honest opinion he's probably the second best gaming producer ever. Only topped by Miyamoto. Only person we can really compare him to and its hard to compare anyone to Miyamoto and what he's done for the industry. Sorry for going off topic, congrats again and some interesting questions I wasn't expecting.
The part at the end was a really nice touch, we're all behind Yoshi-P not only because hes delivered a great game to us but because we also recognise his love for the community and his dedication.
Out of all the interviews I’ve heard so far, she has been the best interpreter of them all. Not that the others did a bad job, but she does come across as the most experienced. She was on point 90% of the time, very little hemming and hawing, and sounded the most natural when speaking both languages. 11/10 interpreter ❤
Great video. Loved your questions as it allowed us to get to really get to know the man more and the mindset behind creating the game. Not that I mind the ''are we getting X'' questions that other interviews usually go for. But we will find out stuff like that either way. Stuff like this is so much more valuable/interesting. Great job and I hope you get to do another one next media tour!
Seeing you start your journey to now meeting YoshiP has been amazing! So happy to see you living my dreams :) but really congrats you put in so much hard work and deserve it!
Congratulations of making this far mate! Your hard work and passion for the game had paid off. May you be invited to the future media tours as well, which I am sure you will be looking forward to. On side note, the translator, Aimi Tokutake is absolutely smashing it. So impressed of how fluent she is in both English and Japanese. And as always, YoshiP is one heck of a very respected gamer and developer.
OMG!!! so cool. I love your content. Congrats on meeting Yoshi-P and getting some face time for questions. Keep up the great work and good luck to you in Dawntrail!
The ending really got me. I've never really thought about it, but I didn't even pay attention to streamers and content creators until I started playing this game. Great questions, always loved your content as someone who got back into the game in 2021.
I have to pause 10 seconds in, man the smile on Yoshi-P face is so wholesome. I only played thru ARR and quit but man the care this man has and passion is so refreshing. After watching your podcast with Jesse cox I came over to see your ff content and man im assumin Yoshi is the main guy in charge (I have no idea yet) but the fact you can talk 1 on 1 and ask anything you like has a massive GREEN flag... Not to compare but I'm going to.. The transparency difference between this and Blizzard with WoW is mind blowing. You can tell one has drive with passion and love whereas the other side is just shareholder focused and through that looses its connection with its players.. It explains how GENEROUS FF trial accounts are!
I'm so glad there are interviews with WoW veterans such as yourself and Preach, I think it will help a lot in injecting more perspectives for the XIV dev team, so we can get the best of both worlds :D
You so deserved this! Gratz Quazii! I know I would die if I ever had the chance to meet Yoshi P! I am like you & allot of FFXIV players; this game saved & changed my life! I started way back in 1.0 & my love for the game has grown every year! See you in Dawntrail!!!
Ok nice interview aside (and appreciated coming from a fellow Singaporean, and Meteor Survivor), this would have been the perfect chance to address the issues that many SEA players, including some Singaporeans, have over official FF XIV support - basically, there is NO official support from Square Enix for us (except if you are playing on a US account, because they only recently included SG in). This means that many SEA players have to resort to entering fake addresses just to purchase the game from any of the official SE stores, as their countries is not listed. I am technically one of them as my account is and has always been in the EU region ever since 1.0 - but somehow I managed to pre-order DawnTrail from the EU store, with my country listed as Sweden, and paid successfully via PayPal. I can't say the same for some of my ingame friends coming from MY, PH, TH, Finally nice that FF XIV is connecting with Singaporean content creators like yourself and Arthars, but it's time to also give our SEA friends a bigger voice. (Strangely enough, Brunei is supported... don't ask me why.....)
This is an achievement unlocked, congratz on nailing the interview!
The translator is amazing
She absolutely kills it every time
Aimi is the best!
Aimi san is a BEAST. I can only imagine how draining the long PLL's before expanisons are to live translate
aimi best girl indeed
@@taco_sensei Next week's is gonna drain her probably...
Aimi's fanbase probably rivals Yoshi-P's by now lol. And rightfully so, I couldn't imagine anyone else for the job. She seems so involved/invested and is not just a person who was brought in to translate an interview about something they barely know/care about.
Holy crap, so happy for you Quazii!!! From a humble sprout at the end of Shadowbringers to interviewing the legend himself not even 2 expansions later! All your hard work and dedication really paid off! 😭
I'm learning Japanese now so I can meet him one day to show my gratitude and appreciation by speaking Japanese to him
「ありがとう！」と言うよりも、「よしだああああああ」と声をかける方が気持ちが伝わるかもしれないですよ！(笑)
応援してます📣
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO QUAZII FINALLY MEETING YOSHIP

@@clintonwilcox4690 yep ! I wonder if the interpreter isn't also there to translate not only for quazii and yoshi but also for the public
@@clintonwilcox4690 I think this is exactly what it is. I watched the Preach interview too and both times there's times when he was nodding along to what the English speaker is saying. He also knows exactly when the translator finishes saying his statement in English and immediately adds follow up
The smile on your face the whole time speaks volumes - your passion glows brightly and I'm sure your face hurt after. Proud of you!
OMG THIS IS LIT! QUAZII MEETING YOSHIP FOR THE FIRST TIME AND EVEN DID AN INTERVIEW WITH HIM?! LET'S GOOOOO
Quazii smiling at Yoshi-P like the biggest fanboy ever brings so much warmth and joy to my heart! so happy for you man! amazing!
"Meeting the legend, the myth" achievement unlocked!!! Congrats Quazii!
having someone like yourself represent us players is very reassuring. Really appreciate your style of professionalism and communication
There’s nothing like seeing someone passionate fulfill their dreams. I hope you have a great time in Dawntrail!
The best part of that interview was your permanent smile. I can only imagine how sore your cheeks are after all that. Congrats Quazii, so happy for you.

impressive interview, it's big honor to met him and sharing us this awesome video, thank you so much Quazii-san
We started FFXIV around the same time. Amazing you got to meet Yoshi-P. Up to the next saga of your channel and the game! I’ll be there for sure.
Gosh i remember watching you play since the beginning. So proud of you, man.
Great interview. Congrats on getting to meet and speak with the man himself.

Followed your journey since you were a sprout! Your ff14 come up has been impressive! Congratulations!
Congrats! Amazing content, you did good 👍🏻 Yoshi P seems very impressed by you! So happy for you and thanx for all the content you do ❤
Hearing YoshiP's WHM story, I can't help but think about frogs and cloak in a certain game.
What a great interview! Love that you were able to meet him and have a meaningful conversation. ❤Loved it. It shows how much passion and love you also have for both WoW and FF14. 😊Thank you for sharing this. ❤
oh wow! congrats! I bet that was a fun day
You did great Quazii! Having done a few interviews myself i can understand what it feels like, although i never sat at a table with the people i interviewed, and i never got to interview YoshiP.
Congrats on the opportunity to finally meet him :)
I am so happy for you Quazii, what an honor! :)
Let’s go !! Congratulations to you dude … let’s us now give this interview a listen !
Wonderful questions Quazii, you're a great interviewer, I really enjoyed the more personal questions you asked it was nice to learn more about Yoshi-P's design philosophies and what keeps him going.
I have watched almost every interview for each expansion. You asked some of the best questions i have seen. Great job, class act through and through.
This is something I've been subtly dreaming. I started playing in late Shadowbringers and I'm having a blast with XIV. I love the story, gameplay and so many other things. I wish I could meet Yoshi-P in person. If only they could bring fan fest or media tour to Finland...
hey, you guys have Poets of the Fall, don't be greedy :P
Congrats on getting the interview. I really liked your questions and, of course, Yoshida-san's thoughtful answers.
Hell yea!! Congrats and great interview!
I bet your cheeks were sore for a bit after that. Congrats on the interview and being someone the dev team watches! 🎉
This interview is fantastic, I wish the other creators went into these types of questions!
Congrats on getting the Ultimate Interviewer title, Quazii! Amazing set of questions!
I'm so happy for you, such a big archievement
I still remembered watching Quazii on his day1 of FF14. later then joined his stream too see his fresh personality and had some fun... and now he got interview with Yoshi-P ?
what a great journey ! I'm so happy for you Quazii !
Congrats on landing the interview with Yoshida! Hopefully you had a blast getting to talk to him. I would.
In my honest opinion he's probably the second best gaming producer ever. Only topped by Miyamoto. Only person we can really compare him to and its hard to compare anyone to Miyamoto and what he's done for the industry.
Sorry for going off topic, congrats again and some interesting questions I wasn't expecting.
This is a great time to be alive :D Gratz again on the media tour invite and being able to meet Yoshi-P in person.
So excited for you, Quazii!!!
The part at the end was a really nice touch, we're all behind Yoshi-P not only because hes delivered a great game to us but because we also recognise his love for the community and his dedication.
I'm so glad you got this interview you are definitely one of the content creators that truly deserve it.
Well done! I enjoyed your interview and closing thoughts.

Amazing interview Quazii! Congratulations… from your humble beginnings as a Sprout up to interviewing Yoshi-P himself! You should be proud 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Thank you kindly
Very well done sir!
Someday, someone will ask Yoshi P about how we had so many expansions, and it is STILL ONLY 5 YEARS SINCE DALAMUD FELL..... When will time march on?
