Naoki Yoshida Hits The Big 4-0

As you may have read on the Developers' Blog, producer/director Naoki Yoshida turned 40 years old today!

The festivities got started early, as you can see from this picture taken at the end of the Niconico Chokaigi 2 event where Yoshi-P was dressed up in a feather boa and a pair of glasses shaped like the number 40.

Thanks Wikipe─ OH YEAH!

It's ALSO Yoshi-P's birthday!

Our fearless producer turned the big 4-0 today, and has been celebrating his birthday week in style. Here's a pic taken after the Niconico Chokaigi 2 event...

And here is the veritable cornucopia of gifts he received from the community team...

And he won't soon forget all the birthday wishes he got from his friends and followers on the Beta Forums, the Lodestone, and Twitter!

He expressed his appreciation last evening in a spur-of-the-moment post!

To clarify what's going on here with the last two images, Yoshi-P does not speak English.  So it is always a special treat when he comes to the English forums and personally posts.  His English is usually a little broken, but he gets the message across.

Late last night, he responded to a thread started in the English forums, thanking players for wishing him a happy birthday.  However, he made a small (but critical) omission.  He meant to say, "I love Final Fantasy, and I love you guys" but accidentally left out the 'you' (so the second half the sentence read, "I love guys").  A few people caught the error before he had a chance to edit it.  Wackiness and laughs ensue.

LOL I'm normal!!

I love that he's got such a great sense of humor.  :)

But in order that our customers can be catch a cheating spouse and did not ask similar questions in another areas we will all talk openly. The answer how to catch a cheating husband and convince that nothing terrible is that it was not.
