Yoshi-P gave Final Fantasy VII Remake director Naoki Hamaguchi a huge compliment during a Final Fantasy XIV Fan Fest panel. He said many fans have been asking for Hamaguchi to direct Final Fantasy XVII, calling it “one of the biggest compliments a game director can get from players.” When Hamaguchi looked like he was about to answer, Yoshi-P quickly joked, “No, no, don’t!”, making fans wonder if there was more to the story.

Yoshihiro Togashi is the greatest manga creator of all time. No one else even comes close. @Un4v5s8bgsVk9Xp Hunter × Hunter is no longer just a manga—it's a graphic novel in the truest sense. It has gone far beyond what the medium is traditionally considered to be.

Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida says fans shouldn’t expect remakes of Final Fantasy VI, VIII, or IX to follow the same path as Final Fantasy VII Remake. Speaking during Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival 2026, he explained that remaking any of those classic games to modern AAA standards would be an enormous project. Each could need four or even five separate releases due to the content that would have to be rebuilt and expanded. Recreating them at the same level as FFVII Remake would take years and massive resources.
