Just checked the trends for Final Fantasy XIV

Listen to your community

Trends taken from where?

And here are the trends since the game's inception showing the same dips/rises. In fact if we take this as a measure of success (which it likely isn't), listening less to the community has only given them higher rates of interest. In any case, I doubt they're going to start caring when they've gone through the same thing in prior years.

Looks like Google Trends, specifically the United States playerbase over the last 12 months.

Welcome to mmos?
Expansion launch, peak interest, players that aren't the dedicated fanbase go back to their seasonal games and return again for patches

Like i have my issues with the game rn mostly on a job design level but you really don't understand how things work

The interest in the game has been the highest between 2.0 and 3.0 launch

Overall interest has been declining ever since the HS launch so it is quite the opposite in fact.

The ups between 5.0 and 6.0 were caused by Blizard's lawsuit and streamers like Asmongold. The game is not in a good state.
