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.

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.

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."
