The legendary developer and producer Naoki Yoshida aka Yoshi-P amazes his fans during the live stream of Final Fantasy XIV with a Nintendo Switch. Featured is the recently released The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom from Nintendo. Even though new content for the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV should have been the focus, fans of Yoshi-P are not disappointed. On the contrary.
What happened during the live stream? Two days ago, the “FFXIV Live Letter 77” was streamed. In it, the new content and changes from Patch 6.4 for the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV were presented and discussed. This included changes to the Pandaemonium: Anabaseios Raid, such as an increase in the drop rate and the addition of more armor pieces.

Participants of the stream included Naoki Yoshida, the legendary developer behind the MMORPG from Square Enix. Many of his fans also call him Yoshi-P, and he once again amazed his fans.
He almost attended the stream passively. His colleague visibly irritated continued to moderate the stream, while Yoshi-P still appeared unimpressed. He seemed completely absorbed 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 Sniper X86@Mclean586:
With heart and soul a real gamer, will be like that when FF16 comes out

A real rockstar
It seems that users find it great that Yoshi-P, far from his company affiliation with Square Enix, also pays tribute to works from other gaming studios. Even though Nintendo has been able to suppress streamers repeatedly lately – it is to be assumed that the Super Mario creator certainly appreciates it when MMORPG greats, like Yoshida, promote the presumed masterpiece for free.
