It is an honor and a privilege to be given this opportunity to assume the role of FINAL FANTASY XI director from my colleague Mr. Matsui.
With my experience on the team, I understand how deeply our players treasure the memories they have made over eight-plus years in Vana'diel, and I will do everything in my power to see that the greatest adventures are still yet to come.

As associate director, I look forward to working with Mr. Ito to guide FINAL FANTASY XI into its next great age of adventure.
Though the challenge is a daunting one, we will endeavor to create content that offers new challenges and rewards for all adventurers who call Vana'diel home.

What are your thoughts on this new staff lineup and direction FFXI has taken as of late with all these updates and add on campaigns?
I for one, after playing FFXI as long as I have and being patient with it's generally slow-paced nature am excited to see it crank up the heat and action to the high octane level of gameplay it deserves to be, even if only after all these years.
