This weekend's Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival looks to have been an emotional one, as the game's producer Naoki Yoshida was brought to tears by none other than the creator of Final Fantasy himself, Hironobu Sakaguchi.

Yoshida, possibly better known by the affectionate nickname he's adopted Yoshi-P, is quite clearly the new golden boy at Square Enix these days. After all, he is the one that brought Final Fantasy 14 back from the dead with its now iconic reboot. He of course also produced the latest numbered entry in the series, Final Fantasy 16, which has generally been a hit with fans - and it's been a hit with Sakaguchi too. The Final Fantasy creator made an appearance at Final Fantasy 14 Fan Fest over the weekend, and even managed to make Yoshi-P cry.

"I'm going to thank you back for making Final Fantasy even better moving forward," were the words Sakaguchi shared with Yoshi-P that got him to cry, helped of course by everyone in the crowd cheering them both on - you can see that for yourself in the video above. Coming from the person who started the series itself probably meant quite a lot to Yoshida, leading him to say, "I never expected that Sakaguchi-san would be making me cry."

Final Fantasy XIV’s achievements are no joke, as proved by the 10 years it took the first player to earn every achievement in the MMO. But director and producer Naoki Yoshida is up for making even more difficult achievements, if the achievement-hunting pro is game for the challenge.

Final Fantasy XIV’s latest Fan Festival took place in London over the weekend, running two days of panels with the MMO’s development team, its director Naoki ‘Yoshi-P’ Yoshida and legendary series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi. In-between announcing a new job for expansion Dawntrail, revealing anecdotes from the early days of Final Fantasy and a whole bunch of crossovers on the way, Yoshi-P and Sakaguchi found time to kick back with some very silly hijinks during the game’s boss battles.

This year's weirdest crossover can probably be handed to Final Fantasy 14 and Fall Guys, and you'll be able to try it out pretty soon.

Earlier this year, Square Enix and Mediatonic announced that Final Fantasy 14 and Fall Guys would be appearing in one another's games, with the latter getting some cute costumes, and the former getting some zany obstacle courses. As announced yesterday during the Final Fantasy Fan Festival in London, the Fall Guys-themed minigame is set to appear in Eorzea when the 6.51 update arrives October 31. You can check out the trailer for the collaboration below, and it truly does just look like they put Fall Guys straight into Final Fantasy 14.

Of course, some Final Fantasy flare has been added to the courses, so you may spot some familiar iconography like Moogles, Cactuar, and Chocobo. For the most part though, just like in Fall Guys you'll be competing against other players for that coveted crown, and obviously there are some unique challenges along the way. Completing the courses also appears to net you some rewards, like pink and purple outfits that feature Fall Guys' iconic beans, and what even looks like a Fall Guys bean minion.
