I don't think he was joking. Yoshi-P probably wants to play it just as much as anyone else.

If I recall correctly, they had a Live Letter (scheduled FFXIV livestream with him and a few others) right after Tears of the King came out and he had his Switch with him when they were still setting up.

Considering how openly a fan of games Yoshi-P is, I could see it, but this is also a typical games industry move. Nobody wants to release in direct competition with a big name release, so releasing the beginning of the next month makes fiscal sense, too.
