It's been over a year since Square Enix announced Final Fantasy XIV's overhaul, and now it's only a month from release. But not everyone truly understands how big of a deal it is. Below are some reasons why you should be preparing yourself to dive into the beautiful world of Eorzea."
Square Enix president Takashi Kiryu discusses the dropping player count of Final Fantasy XIV and the numerous projects of YoshiP.
YoshiP, the director and producer of Final Fantasy 14, has apologised for the state of the game at the time of writing.
Do you not see this happening during development? Like, why are we apologizing after the fact instead of stopping it during development?
Criticism and reflection occur after the fact. The apology acknowledges the past criticisms with the new expansion and they're keeping transparency with players about it. Now that they've acknowledged it - it will be interesting to see what kind of cycle we'll get with a new expansion and I wonder if they're planning something special with beast master since they didn't mention it in the last live letter.
The base game and expansion go on sale all the time and doesn't stay full price for very long since a new expansion is on the horizon.
If you're stating they should reduce the price of new expansions or the sub fee, no, that's not gonna happen lmao people aren't even complaining about that. They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy.
"They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy."
The product should be cheaper then.
I was unhappy with DT and have spent far less time in it than any other expansion but it's things like this that makes me respect Yoshi P. It's rare for such a high profile developer to be so candid in his assessment on a live game.
Same, i've found my self resubbing every two patches instead of keeping it up. Don't own a home in the game so there's no point in keeping a constant sub going. The post story is getting interesting though.
Square Enix released new screenshots of the upcoming patch 7.25 for its popular MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, including the Occult Crescent.
Been in the beta, can't wait for it to finally release!
They've lost my day one purchase, because they didn't give me a invite. Which really pisses me off because I bought FFXIII on the ps3 to get a code.
Now I'll wait for feedback on the game, and either get the PC version or the ps4 version.
why it's not a big deal ----> Monthy fees
- Final Fantasy 15, Final Fantasy 10 HD, and Lighting Returns FF 13 coming out this and next year.
All of this while I've been thinking about getting back into FFXI.
