E3 2013 Interview With Naoki Yoshida

Between doing live streams, signing autographs, participating in and commentating on Ifrit battles, Naoki Yoshida, the Director/Producer of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn found some time to talk to us at last week’s E3.

We recently asked the community (that’s you guys!) what they wanted to get some information on. Unfortunately, the downside of that is the community also asked Square Enix and as a result of this, some of our questions were also answered in the live letter on day 3 (which was directly after our interview time). On the plus side, we do have some interesting bits of info that you won’t find anywhere else!

Check out our full interview with Naoki Yoshida after the jump!

Japan Expo Interview With Naoki Yoshida via JeuxOnLine

Yesterday we had a bit of information out of Naoki Yoshida’s stage presentation at Japan Expo including some new concept art, and a real look at some of the new race specific equipment coming in version 2.0. Today we get an English transcript of an interview conducted by JeuxOnLine and several other European FFXIV sites.

In the interview, Yoshida mentions that with 2.0, the main method for players to level up their classes will be not through monster camping but through quest rewarded experience points. There is also more discussion about Free Companies, voiced cut scenes, loading screens and more!

Head on over to JeuxOnLine to see the full interview and let us know what you think on our forums!
