His conclusion regarding the popularity of newer players (including WoWfugees)
![FINAL FANTASY, XIV ONLINE In Conclusion As producer, the responsibility for being unable to predict the current influx of new players falls to me. The days before an expansion's launch are supposed to be ones of excitement, but instead they've brought many players grief, and for that I, personally, am extremely sorry. For years, we have watched devoted players from around the world stream their time with FINAL FANTASY XIV, and now, we sit in awe while new fans join their ranks. As we enter our final push in the development of Endwalker, it is this constant flow of positive energy that motivates all of us on the development and operations team to carry on. Nothing can compare to the feeling we get watching you enjoy playing the game we've created. We are aware of the burden we have placed on our player base, an are working diligently to lighten the coming weeks and months. We will continue to develop measures to combat server congestion, and will keep you up to date with any and all developments in this area. Thank you once again for your continued support!

That feeling of having a friend back for FFXIV Digital Fan Fest 2021
![Context: Masayoshi Soken, composer and musician for Final Fantasy XIV, publicly revealed that he's been fighting cancer, that he made the previous expansion's soundtrack from what could've been his deathbed, and that it's currently in remission. Yoshi-P feeling sad & happy to his friend back, and at having kept the sickness a secret from the rest of the staff at the music director's request. Everyone is talking about the relief to be in the same room together after COVID-19.
