Dawntrail delay due to Elden Ring

It may not be enough time to finish Elden Ring, but:

1. Most people play new game's and DLC for a few days to a week then do the next new game or DLC. At least this is what I've always observed. So there is probably a gradual drop-off and a week is probably the correct answer.

2. A week allows the initial hype of Elden Ring to happen. It may remain there for months but the peak of it is gonna be in the first week so it gives some time for that rush to just happen.

3. Obviously he can't delay the expansion for months just so people can beat all of the Elden Ring.

4. I don't see a problem with them clashing anyway. It would reduce congestion! Might dent the media and social hype though, which is meant to bring in lots of new players. This might be unavoidable now regardless.

If you invade YoshiP and can take out him and his onion gang, he'll flag your account so your house(s) will be permanently exempt from demolishing.

Oh right, I started Elden Ring and then got distracted and never got back to it. Maybe I'll poke at that some more over the week.

wasnt this a joke?

It was, but there may have also been some truth to it. Video game companies will usually intentionally avoid other big game release dates if they can.

Ironically it'll take most people longer to finish Elden Ring Shadow of Erdtree than ffxiv dawntrail. The joke's totally on yoship.
I'll finish the msq/leveling of the new jobs in 3-4 days then go back to Elden Ring.

Elden Ring took me about a month to finish, and this was back when I wasn't working. I tend to get distracted easily and go exploring every little nook and cranny when playing open world games. If the DLC actually is about half the size of the base game then 1 week isn't enough time for me to finish it so I'm going to wait until after Dawntrail launches and play it during downtime between patches. I like learning new fights in FF14 when nobody knows what they're doing, so it's best to do them as soon as possible. I tend to play Elden Ring solo so it doesn't matter when I play it.

I do not get it why people like Elden Ring so much. I watched some streamers playing it. But it is just running around and killing some mobs. It's like a typical asian grinder.




Cheers

Eventually i'll try elden ring again
i hated the open world aspect personally but maybe i'd enjoy it more if i just focused on doing the story bosses

My 1st playthru of Elden Ring, I was stuck on Malenia for a full week and that was being grossly over leveled. I'm sure there's a boss in the DLC that will make we run back to Malenia for comfort lol
