Naoki Yoshida is no longer on the board of directors

Sadly, this is the most likely reason out of anything else.

>guy who saved Final Fantasy is demoted
>guy who produced the Lightning dumpster fire and demake is promoted
Nice meritocracy. Yoshi-P should walk out with his team and make a new MMO, most of the user base will follow.

Serious answers please: how could this affect FF16?

seethe

barrybros, we did it

lmao ffxiv is dying

He got what he wanted

>Using steam numbers of FF14
This shit will always expose retards who don't know anything about FF14

I imagine splitting his time between XIV and XVI was leaving him very little time to do whatever that role entails

I'm not downloading this. Someone screenshot it

anyone have the other version of this with yoshi

Kitase has been in the board of directors since 2018.
Nomura has given the biggest fuck yous to SE since Sakaguchi and Matsuno. He has literally been the only one who has openly talked about the management fuck ups of the company over the years, nobody else has done that.

It doesn't have to be true for people to take the bait

>should walk out with his team and make a new [thing]
This has literally never worked out in this industry. Treasure and Platinum almost pulled it off but now they're fucking dead.

its a pdf retard you don't need to download it

He's the only person on the board that is against NFTs, actually plays video games, and is in charge of the only game making SE money right now.

They are mad jelly.

More like he is tired of pulling all SE weight and wants to retire

He probably just wanted to get closer to game dev again and not stuck in these boring ass meetings

note that nomura isnt on the list either

That was what I initally thought when I read it too, guess the doomposting just alarmed me.

Matsuda is seen in every XIV event next to Yoshi-P.

OP is a faggot a fake and a fraud
jp.square-enix.com/company/en/officer/
Site still lists him in it

So in other words they want to prep themselves to be acquired. Got it.

Yoshi bros...

based retard

"Jesus Christ I fucking hate being on the board of directors" seems the likeliest reason to me too, he's busy enough.

It's a real shame about Treasure, they made some fabulous games. Ikaruga's still one of the best SHMUPs ever

This is literally what Nomura has said in the past, so it's likely the same for Yoshi.
Nomura said that he was offered similar promotions multiple times over the years but he refused because he prefers to be more hands on with the development of games instead of working behind the scenes on their marketing and financials. I imagine Yoshida is very hands on with XVI so he stepped down from a position that would have took a lot of his time working in an office signing papers instead of supervising the project directly.
