The Producer and Director for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm reborn, Naoki Yoshida, is slated to speak at GDC 2014.
The talk happens Wednesday, March 19 at 3:30PM (PT) in room 135 in the North Hall at the Moscone Center.
FINAL FANTASY XIV was successfully relaunched as FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn in 2013 after the inauspicious release in 2010 - a first in MMORPG history. In this presentation, Naoki Yoshida (producer and director of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn and the Corporate Executive at Square Enix Co. Ltd.), will analyze the causes of the initial failures, and disclose some of the behind-the-scenes decisions/thoughts surrounding the importance of a relaunch, the creation of an MMORPG title within the short span of two years and nine months, and the commitment to a specific business model.
The talk happens Wednesday, March 19 at 3:30PM (PT) in room 135 in the North Hall at the Moscone Center.
