In the noclip documentary on FFXIV a few years back, Yoshida mentioned that he was considering leaving Square-Enix to make his own games. FFXIV is really good, but Yoshida is the soul of that game. If he left, that would be devastating.

If you haven't seen the noclip documentary, you should. It's on YouTube.

He has since stated that he won't leave FFXIV. Has re-iterated it in the face of the 6.0 launch, since 6.0 wrapped up the main storyline and there were fears of his departure following that.

He's also the producer for Final Fantasy XVI, which is being developed by his org (Creative Business Unit III).
