What do you think about Yoshida?
Will he come back with a bang,
or did you feel him doing stuff for FFXIV all along?

Some of the game's best moments and content has happened AFTER XVI started developing, it's moronic to think that Yoshi P is neglecting XIV.
I don’t think Yoshi-P or CBU3 have neglected the game. Remember that since they started 16s active development, they’ve released Stormblood, ShB, and Endwalker. The most reasonable setback I can see, is that instead of the expansion we would get next year. It would be pushed back the year after simply out of conflicting releases. As Popular as FFXIV is, to as for it to compete in release against both a new entry AND new FF7 Remake entry is beyond rough.
I think he was pretty open about the game's new patch development cycle being 4 months instead of 3.5 going forward bc the team needed more time since they were making a wider variety of content. I also think its ok for the game to be more casual-friendly. I don't think any game could ever live up to the expectation that some people put on MMOs. The expectation that a single game will be there for you to play for 8+ hours a day every day and never get stale and never run out of things to do. I have an office job so I can only play on weekends and evenings and I like that I was able to catch up this patch with everything outside of raiding. It meant that I had time to play other games. I recently picked up ESO to play when FFXIV is slow and I'm having a blast. I think FFXIV has a slightly slower content cycle now and fellow long term vets are going to feel that because we're really tuned into that. But maybe its good to try new things too!
Yoshi-P: Shows off FF16 personally.
FF14: happens to win two awards
Desperius: Is this neglect?
I don't think he neglected it but yeah, FF14 could have and should have much more improvements by now.
While content like story and music have been top notch, the core game itself is lacking in so many directions its not even funny. The game still looks mediocre at best (luckily it may change with the next expansion), lag and netcode is TERRIBLE, like the worst in MMO genre, combat is still boring, stale and uninteresting especially when compared to many modern MMOs. I hope now that FF16 is done we will see some actual improvements in core game and systems like gearing etc.
Eventually Hrothgar will have hats. Eventually.
Easiest answer is no.
I'd actually say 16 probably gets pushed aside for 14 in most instances. I believe evidence for this is super easy to see. I believe all the issues in this game aren't going to be fixed untill 7.0 and on. I think the stat squish the other updates they are making in the background is taking up alot of dev time
wow and ffxiv are different game one focuses is for hardcore players (wow ) and while ffxiv tries to give everbody something to do no game offer hardcore player(who are never many and always bellow 20% f the playerbase) just as much to do as casual players.
I agree with you, its time for a new era of FFXIV
The problem this game is going to have is not changing many things in one big update, we get small updates along the way but nothing that makes us feel like 10 years and a rebooted game is trying to make an effort and push to be the number 1 MMO people talk about. FFXIV has sooooo much content already in it, that Yoshi-P could easily make viable now. Fates and open world instances alone should be a signal to the team on how to obtain new Weaponskills, armor, levels, buffs, items, etc.
Probably not the drama to drum up. The poor guy works his butt off for us.
I’ve played WoW for more than a decade, and nothing scares me more than the “evolve the game” language, lol. I haven’t even finished the MSQ in 14, but I’m about to start Endwalker and I’m just amazed at how much there is to do before you’re even max level. The variety of classes, their stories, glamour, the various raids, etc—it’s just great. The problem with evolving a game is that some devs completely crap the bed and destroy what fundamentally makes their games good. That’s what Blizzard did—I don’t want 14 to go that way. I don’t trust anyone to progress anything in a positive way, nowadays, so I’ll believe it when I see it. Before then, I’ll stubbornly oppose great, sweeping changes. I’d rather be wrong once I’m proven wrong, lol.
Him only mentioning FF16 after the community gave them 2 awards for FF14 was rude and respectless. To me it is clear he favors FF16. The only reason I am not on the fence about it, is because 16 is just a single player title that will be pushed out and abandoned once all work on it is done.
I bet you FF16 going to flop just watch I call it
What is this video even about? Yoshida neglecting FFXIV for FFXVI, hoping he comes back for the 10th anniversary? But he never left.
Did Desperius recently find about FFXVI and got worried about Yoshida leaving the game or something? Or was he unaware that Yoshida has been working on both games at the same time since 2016? Because that would be some funny timing for this video, with Yoshi-P saying that 16 is 95% done and all that's left is polishing and localization to other languages and that was back in November.
Also saying that he might retire after 16, really? The man told us directly that he wants to keep working on 14 for 10 more years and that he considers it his life's work, he even joked that even if SE would fire him he would still go to work on the game unless he was physically removed lol.
Things like this create misinformation and misunderstandings, things like this are the reason why FFXVI and what team was working on it was kept a secret for so long or why the team was so cautious to even reveal that some members of staff like for example Koji Fox was already working full time on 16.
I agree on what I think is the essence of the point of this video, that is that hopefully Yoshida will be even more focused about working on 14 and maybe he will get new ideas for the game and things like that once 16 is released, but to imply that he neglected 14 and the game is suffering for it is ludicrous IMO.
Why do you think he will retire when he clearly saud diffrent things in the past?
FF16 is also made made by BU3 not just Yoshida alone! So i think thats why it feels why like they play it safe with 14 right now because they do til 16 Drops.
After 16s release the Focus will be fully back to 14 and 7.0 what will come ebd of 2023 beginning 2024.
So right now focus is on 16 and we all feel that in 14 for sure but yoshida always said 14is his baby and he will do that as long as possible.
He might not even take a break after 16 especially not with the fan fests around the same time. So thinking he might retire just shows that you didnt listen to him
Absolutely. FFXIV is dying lately, everybody’s leaving the game
I both agree and disagree. HW changed a ton of things from ARR, then SB changed a lot of things again, changing how combat works. After that ShB refined those changes, and finally endwalker smoothed out the rough edges. Yes, EW was much safer in its changes, but they also completely reworked pvp, and added island sanctuary and variants, and these two are just experiments. Why people feel that they don't take risks is because they didn't rework the whole combat system in the past two expansions, and the endgame and MSQ is formulaic, that's the part where i agree that they should take some more risks. But was EW neglected in any way? I really don't feel that.
This video ain't it
