Final Fantasy creator made Yoshi-P cry by thanking him for "making Final Fantasy even better"

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."
