I’m so curious if they’ll have a big engine update >_<
They could always shift their attention to limited jobs so that they don't have to emphasize balance as much. That way you can still have new jobs every expansion that function differently. However, I feel like they would also need to create a duty finder to accommodate limited jobs as well.
a new engine and a new number, or just dropping the number, would be great.
I agree with Brian on this. "10 year plan" is definitely going to address tech and could mean a new engine or transition to a new iteration.
Also glad to hear you tip the cap to ALL of the dev team. Yes, we love Yoshi and Soken, but there is a team of people behind this game doing amazing work.
One question that I’d like asked is whether the minimum spec to run the game will increase. A yes would mean significant engine or graphics updates.
Can they upgrade there game to next gen graphics engine it would awesome
in my opinion 
However's the MSQ writer desevers more attention because she's an amazing writer!
Is it just me or did they say February 18th lol they're recording this 2 weeks in the future
See I'm hoping for a new engine for final fantasy 14 I believe the engine is currently running on as hit its end peak and it's not comparing to a lot of more fast-paced style final fantasy games like final fantasy 16 is going to pretty much be an open world button pressing hack and slash and I feel they need to make it to where the controls and skills are not as complicated as they used to be Yes but I think it needs to be more simpler I mean a lot of people may not like this but I think it should be like okay Y vertical slash X HORIZONTAL SLASH AND THAT'S JUST TWO BUTTONS FROM THE XBOX CONTROLLER NOW EVERYBODY DON'T GET ME STARTED WITH CONTROLLERS AND I FEEL THE GRAPHICS REALLY NEED AN IMPROVEMENT IT'S STILL RUNNING ON LOW RESOLUTION GRAPHICS EVEN ON THE HIGHEST NPC IT DOESN'T LOOK ALL I PLEASING NOW THOSE ARE JUST MINOR THINGS BUT I THINK A NEW HARDWARE WOULD ALSO IMPROVE A LOT OF THE GAMES ISSUES I DON'T SEE THE HARDWARE LASTING ANOTHER 10 YEARS BUT THIS IS JUST ME RANTING
I can definitely see cross play Cross save and cloud gaming coming to 14 as well
And that's between all platforms including Xbox and mobile version but definitely cloud gaming
And obviously they're going to need a lot more servers and better servers so we don't have the end walker server issue
The one thing I would love to see from FFXIV is a spin-off solo RPG that is a retelling and rework of the FFXIV 1.0 story… but reworked so that it is all cannon with the FFXIV MMO complete with redone landscapes and instances that aren't copy pasta messes but the areas as they were before the Calamity. I'd love to finally be able to finally play through this unobtanium thing, even though I know that a FFXIV 1.0 classic is basically never going to happen, but I'd still love to play through the content for the lore as there's only so far YouTube videos can go before you've finally just got to play it warts and all.
What if it isFFXIV-2 with a legacy mode added where you can play old content with the OG game players but new content comes out on the "remaster" that has new engine and all that… I know that for people understanding game dev that already sounds like a nightmare to dev let alone maintain, but one can hope for a better engine
But yeah final fantasy 14 is pretty much a lot of people's baby but as a player of final fantasy 14 since the 1.0 beta my character name was in with many other people for the 1.0 players we've had her ups and downs but the future looks bright for final fantasy 14 no matter what happens I'm still going to play it 14 to me is like world of Warcraft for asmangold
My biggest hope for final fantasy 14 besides better hardware is the graphics obviously story and all that stuff is a different subject but I want to see final fantasy 16 graphics in this game would be beautiful and amazing
This is such a baller move. A 10 year vision. Goddamn.
They also need to get rid of the ether currents and just allow players to fly everywhere they're running around in this game is so damn annoying and so many games do that not everybody wants to spend an hour running
But I really do hope they improve the hardware and make it more freestyle I mean this is just my way kind of like how final fantasy 15 was you know open world walk around happy to run into a boss or something more exploratory obviously have campaign etc but simple combat is nice they should give us the option to either play simple style or continue with the classic I know not everybody is going to want to play you know freestyle
Keep seeing that fail on the 2P pile… kinda hurts me. But I get it at the same time, especially in the heat of the moment and it's hard to focus on everything at once. (of topic)
But wow… I'll be there for the live stream on the live letter if it's going to have the English. If not… I'll have to wait for a subbed version in a week afterwards. Exciting stuff happening, wonder what will happen. Scary at the same time. My fave event is The Rising events… what are yours?
I think new housing rebuild in on the moon with the comments from in the game.
My birthday as well..
I THINK…Now we'll see the true power of Yoshi P, all content (ARR to EW) was already made/planned (history, characters, locations, etc) by the old team, of course Yoshida brought huge improvements to the game, but NOW we'll see new/different gameplay, Locations, mechanics, history telling… Almost a new game with the true vision of Yoshida.
PERSONALLY, they GOTTA remaster ARR. The base game is just NOT the quality that the current expansions have and many new players have LEFT because of how much of a SLOG it is. And that first impression for a new player COUNTS. I hate that for some people the excuse for going through ARR is "Oh but it gets so good in Heavensward!". A friend told me that he convinced over 10 of his friends to skip ARR and go back to it later after Heavensward and they agreed that ARR is just so inferior compared to everything after. I loved ARR even before the quest cuts but it deserves a remaster imo.
I feel this is going to be more of a outline, than anything concrete. Kinda like that line from Pirates of the Carribean "This information is more like guidelines." with the ability to be flexible. Ten years is a long time, but this is going to be a look at the bigger picture, so i expect a lot of general conceptual ideas.
I'm hoping that he will address a new starting point for new players, I think that going through 5 expansions is becoming to much. Such as 7.0 will be a new story and a new "level 1", even if it takes a "new accounts will have 1 job that starts at 90". Or introduce a new leveling system, where regardless of your current level, you will start at "dynamis level 1" and increasing your level would only be through dynamis and you can participate in the new story/expansion area's. But then you can leave the current leveling system in place for people who want to experience the Hydelan story. Maybe you can still go to the old zones but it would be a basic state unless you have played through portions of the story. I guess we will find out
Would be interesting if the game became Final Fantasy Online and we were able to port over our characters to the updated game with updated graphics engine. Would put a nice bookend on 14 (plus adding in trusts for those that shy away from MMOs in general).
I expect the live letter will be a massive info dump for what the team has done and would like to continue doing, so that the community can feedback prior to the next big fan fest, where they can then again approach any positive/ambivalent/negative feedback. Basically bring the community with you let them be invested (not that most of us aren't already with the amount of time sink we've commited to this world
)
Brian u gotta temper expectations a bit lol, ff16 is a secret M rated mmo?
I would love to see new endgame content apart from the 4 fights and the alliance raid. I dont like the savages and extremes because they stress me, i love this game in a more relaxing way. So i ran short on stuff on my style of playing
I genuinely hope the game doesn't go another 10 years unless they can port the game to a new engine , which probably isn't possible . Everything comes to an end and me personally I rather not play on the same game engine for 20 + years . I hope FF18 or 19 is a brand new MMO
