Naoki Yoshida (吉田 直樹, Yoshida Naoki, born May 1, 1973),[1] also known by the nickname Yoshi-P,[2] is a Japanese video game producer, director and designer working for Square Enix. He is best known for his work on massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), mainly as director and producer of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn and its expansions.
Yoshida is credited with the revival of the original Final Fantasy XIV project by commentators like Game Informer, which was initially criticized for poor quality.[3] Yoshida became an executive officer at Square Enix in 2015,[4] the Head of Square Enix's Creative Studio III[5] (formerly Creative Business Unit III)[6] and part of the Final Fantasy Committee, that is tasked with keeping the franchise's releases and content consistent in 2014.[7]
