    These two legends care a great deal for their community, and for the legacy of their games in general.
    Truly an example to follow for all gamedevs, especially nowadays. Thank you for being awesome, Yoshida-san & Soken-san!

      I’m pretty sure he’s talking about Husky’s FFXIV community medley specifically! In which I only played a very little part
      Husky got working on it right after the digital fanfest as a way to say “welcome back” to Soken. It’s so heartwarming to hear about how Soken received it!
      The Close In The Distance collaboration was released only some years after

    • @TarundiMC
      @TarundiMC Před měsícem +6

      @@AlexMoukalaMusic Ah, I had thought about that, but since Soken said "gathered a whole bunch of players to sing as one big group" I had assumed it was the Close In The Distance collab, but before that he mentioned "those influencers who focus on sound and music" and that sounds more like Husky's musician collab. Maybe it's both, but either way both are amazing!

  • @alibutterfly82
    @alibutterfly82 Před měsícem +31

    I love that these two are so appreciative of their audience - both of their "most memorable moments" are proof of that. The whole situation with Soken's illness during ShB development, how it was kept secret, then eventually revealed to the fanbase and much of the dev team only after he'd recovered at the virtual fanfest that year... I still get teary thinking about it, I'm getting teary now. And then the music compilation that the community put together to welcome him back afterwards being his most memorable moment... Imagine if you're Husky or Alex or Denmo right now, what a massive honor. Okay, now I need to go find the ninjas cutting onions again...

    Soken and Yoshi-P are the Uematsu and Sakaguchi for a new generation. Much like their predecessors, they are not afraid to take chances and risks to make sure that Final Fantasy continues for years to come. They also show a passion not just for the games they work on but the community as a whole that few other games care about. The future of Final Fantasy is in good hands.

I owe a lot of happiness to these 2 amazing individuals and the whole team behind them and I will be forever grateful. Looking forward to Dawntrail and everything after!

    Currently playing FF13 and will then do FF13-2, Lightning Returns and 15 to finish my binge.
    Can’t wait for FF17. Keep up the good work Square.
