Final Fantasy 14 director Yoshi-P has revealed the result of “a lot of thinking” after the heated community-based discussions about the critically acclaimed MMORPG. Since the release of the Dawntrail expansion, the game has been under scrutiny from its players because of its weak content compared to the previous DLCs. Recently, Yoshi-P admitted FFXIV is in decline when it comes to player count, acknowledging the state of its content output and its respective quality, something that has been heavily criticized by fans.
It seems like that’s a lingering thought on the director’s mind, as he recently talked more about the game during the 88th Letter from the Producer, shared on the official FFXIV YouTube channel. During the conversation, which was translated by fans on an unofficial Discord server for the game, Yoshi-P says that the game had been following a schedule where uneven patches added more casual content, like Alliance Raids, while even patches added hardcore content. He mentions that this has led to "a lot of thinking" as a way to better please all parts of the Final Fantasy 14 community.
