A Surprise Visit from the Final Fantasy 14 Creator!
Who says raiding is just for the young? In a heartwarming turn of events, a 69-year-old Final Fantasy 14 player, Pokochii_bigmum, got an unexpected visit during one of their livestreams from none other than Hironobu Sakaguchi, the legendary creator of the franchise. This delightful interaction showcased the best parts of the Final Fantasy 14 community and proved that age is just a number when it comes to raiding.
Pokochii_bigmum, a Japanese gamer who started streaming two years ago with a focus on Final Fantasy 14, has become a beloved figure in the gaming world. With nearly 500 livestreams under their belt, most of which have documented their adventures in Eorzea and beyond, they have captivated audiences with their wit and charm.
Through their journey, Pokochii_bigmum conquered all the expansions in Final Fantasy 14, culminating in their battle against Pandaemonium Anabaseios (Savage), the toughest raid in Endwalker outside of the Ultimate challenges. However, during a recent livestream, while taking a break from the grueling final battle, something extraordinary happened – Hironobu Sakaguchi himself entered their chat room!
Sakaguchi, a dedicated Final Fantasy 14 player and the mastermind behind the entire franchise, joined the livestream around the 2:31:00 mark. In an endearing gesture, he introduced himself and encouraged Pokochii_bigmum to persevere. The wholesome visit from Sakaguchi not only touched the 69-year-old streamer but also stirred the hearts of Final Fantasy 14 fans across the globe.
But wait, it gets even better! Sakaguchi revealed that he and his raid group were stuck on the same phase of Anabaseios, facing the same challenge that had halted Pokochii_bigmum’s progress. In a post on his personal Twitter, Sakaguchi shared how this heartwarming encounter inspired him to give his best when he tackles the battle once more.
