[FF14] 吉田：其實我沒有想成為明星人物的想法

Q: The way that Fan Fest rolls out development staff like rockstars is prettyunique, what do you and the development team feel like at events like Fan Fest, where you will so often be stopped and asked for photos, et cetera – Sayem
Ahmed, GLHF

在FanFest這樣的活動中，整個開發團隊被像搖滾明星一樣粉墨登場是非常獨特的體驗，您和開發團隊在這樣的場合感受如何？在這種活動中，您經常會被攔住要求合影等等

Naoki Yoshida: We’re not necessarily treating them like rockstars when we
bring them out, though. Our intention is not to flaunt around like a rockstar. Our job is it to make games. I don’t think developers are meant to be out in the forefront like that. When I’m on a stream, I see comments like “Yoshida
got fat” or “Yoshida is old.” No one wants to see that.

其實我們登場的時候沒有必要享受像是搖滾明星一樣的對待。
我們這些人其實不需要像搖滾巨星一樣展露自己。我們的工作就是製作遊戲。

我不覺得開發人員應該像這樣在第一線拋頭露面。
像我自己在直播的時候，我會看到「吉田又胖了」，「吉田又老了」的評論。
沒有人喜歡看到這些。

With this being an MMORPG, I think it’s important we have a mutual
understanding between players, members of the media, and developers. With a
game that accumulates a lot of content, and a whole lot of systems, it’s
important to be able to see and get an understanding and share what the
players want, what the developers need to do, what the media pays attention to and reports on, and be able to communicate. Having that mutual understandingallows an MMO to stay interesting for us to continue to update.

然而一款 MMORPG，我認為玩家、媒體人員和開發人員之間的相互理解很重要。

對於一款已經累積了大量內容和各種系統的遊戲來說，
重要的是能夠看到、理解並共享玩家的需求，了解開發人員需要做些什麼，
以及媒體關注和報導的內容，並能夠進行交流。

擁有這種相互理解使得 MMORPG 能夠保持有趣，讓我們能夠繼續更新後續內容。

I also wanted to touch upon… they asked about being stopped for photos. I’m
honored, I’m flattered. I’m very thankful for that. I want to point out too,
I’d love to accommodate fans as long as I have time, and as long as they’re
okay with a middle aged man. When I went to the first NA Fan Fest, in the
casino, someone asked if he could pick me up – like princess style. You might be able to find that photo online actually. And there was one girl who askedme in Japan at an event if she can do a backdrop wrestling move on me. So as
long as its fun and interesting – I’m open for it.

我還想補充一下... 剛剛問到了被攔住合影的事。我感到非常榮幸，也覺得受寵若驚。
對於這一點，我非常感謝。

我也想表示，只要我有時間，
而且粉絲們願意接受這樣一個中年男子入鏡，我很樂意滿足他們的請求。

我去參加第一次北美FanFest時，
在賭場有人問我是否可以抱起我 — 就像公主抱一樣。
你可能真的可以在網上找到那張照片。

還有一個女孩在日本的一個活動上問我，是否可以對我架設岩石落的摔角動作。
所以只要這是能帶來開心和有趣的內容，我都樂意參與。

But… there’s one thing I want to caution. There was a time I took a photo
with five people, in the same FC – then the photo was uploaded to their
social channels. So I saw it online and my face was on the photo, but everyone else was anonymized – was there a point in uploading that? We’re having a
good time, I know we need to ask permissions, but as long as everyone is okay, I encourage you to show your face and that you’ve having a good time!

但是，我同樣還想提出一點，曾經我和五個同公會的成員一起合影，
這張照片被上傳到他們的社交平台。

所以我在網上看到這張照片，我的臉出現在照片上，
但其他人都被打馬賽克——這樣還有什麼意思嘛？

我們當時都玩得很開心，我知道露臉需要徵求許可，
但只要每個人都同意，鼓勵各位露出你們的面龐，並展示你們愉快的時光！

為了接地氣決定賣老臉

太苦了

順便提到 14 是否有和 FF16 的連動

Q: Are any crossovers between FFXIV and FFXVI planned? – Anastasia Kudinov,
Eurogamer Germany

《FF14》和《FF16》之間是否計劃有任何跨界合作？

Naoki Yoshida: So yes, the producer of FFXVI happens to have the same name asI do. I did have a chance to discuss this it with Yoshida. I think we are
nearing the conclusion of our discussions, but we are unable to divulge on itright now. I’m hoping that we can reveal some kind of information within this calendar year.

是的，《FF16》的製作人，碰巧跟我同名同姓。
我確實有這個機會，和這位吉田先生討論相關的企劃。

我們兩人接近做出結論了，但目前還不能透露任何細節。
我希望我們能在今年內公佈一些相關信息。

直樹：吉田製作人跟我也有一點交情。

我現在簡直恨不得跪在高亞男面前，去嗅她的腳。」
