FFXIV and PSO2 Dream Collaboration

• In Issue #555 of Dengeki Playstation, PSO2 Director Kimura and FFXIV Producer Yoshida discussed whether they'd like to start a collaboration project. Initially, Kimura expressed he was willing to try it, but had doubts whether Square Enix would go through with it.  Yoshida replied not to worry about it, he thinks it's totally fine. Kimura felt that even if the producers OK'd it and they initiated talks, there might be many things that could be rejected. Yoshida responded that if they come straight to him…and if it happens, he'd seriously like to work on it. So in summary, it seems both producers are OK with having a collaboration, but whether or not this will really happen is still up in the air. [Source]
