Not even Final Fantasy 14 producer Naoki Yoshida can put down Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

It seems that even Final Fantasy 14 producer Naoki Yoshida can’t put down The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

One of the universal problems that comes with playing a really good game is that it’s too hard to let go of the controller. Just one more level, just one more dungeon, just one more time, you tell yourself, even though you know you need to take out the trash because tomorrow is collection day and you’ve been putting it off. The Switch certainly makes it more difficult, as it puts controller and console together, and it looks like it’s giving trouble tonight for Yoshi P, who joined the most recent Final Fantasy XIV Producer’s Letter with his eyes glued to his Switch. .

How to share in a shorten Per aitaikimochi on Twitter, as Yoshi-P walks into the frame and sits in his chair, you can see him holding the Zelda-themed OLED (thanks, GamesRadar). As he takes his seat, Global Community Producer Toshio Murouchi said that “it seems his heart isn’t in it today…” which, honestly, what a humor. Some fans translated the conversation between the two on FF14 Discord, and according to them, Yoshida said that he bought both the game and the console in Shinjuku, where he received some “interesting feedback.”

There’s a point in the clip where you can see him showing everyone what he’s playing (it’s Tears of the Kingdom, obviously), and it’s incredibly early in the game. According to him, he hasn’t gotten very far for the simple fact that he “couldn’t help but look at this game from a developer’s perspective. I’m not a developer, but I can’t blame him, there’s a lot to see and do. Maybe you just need to take a look at our guide to tips for beginners?

Yoshida isn’t the only one excited about the game who doesn’t work at Nintendo, as both PlayStation and Xbox hosted their own little celebrations of the game’s release.
