==In-game appearances==
Yosuke Matsuda has made appearances in a handful of games from Square Enix. He usually appears descending from midair:
*In a lead-up to the release of Final Fantasy XV a special livestream was made in Japan where Matsuda appears as a Level 99 Boss for Noctis to face. Here he shows dexterous movement, powerful sword strikes and the ability to shoot beams from his eyes. In this footage he tried to make Noctis have fun.
*Yosuke Matsuda appears as a powerful boss in NieR: Automata along PlatinumGames' president Kenichi Sato (as PlatinumGames helped develop the game). They display powerful hand-to-hand combat, energy barriers, projectiles and when defeated will heavily bombard the player for a set period of time as a last resort.
