XVI Event

Since Yoshi P is heavily involved, do you think we will get one this time? Maybe a lot closer to the release compared to when we got XV's event a bit late into the games life cycle?

I think it would be cool if they gave us stuff to promote the game before or shortly after the game came out. Idk why but I love cross campaigns when they are involved with multiple video games, and not just "go be the weirdo buying out all the butterfingers first thing at 6am in the morning."

Just think an event collab would be way cooler.
:P

I presume there probably would be one, or at least some kind of reference between each game (as it is, it's been announced that preording the standard edition for FFXVI features as bonus items 'a Cait Sith Charm' and a sword called 'Braveheart', the latter of which the design is actually based on Yoshitaka Amano's artwork of the FFI Warrior of Light's sword and which.. we know of here in FFXIV as the Sword of Light from Seat of Sacrifice EX.

So maybe we'll get some sort of crossover with it in FFXIV, although whether it will be a short term event or something permenant in the game but more low key (like weapon/gear names) is a very good question.

We've had one for XI, XIII, and XV. I'd be surprised if we didn't get a XVI event.

Hopefully Yoshi-P would have quit FF14 by then.

I wouldn't say quit. But if it does good enough he might be promoted.

that Yoshida really has been holding this game back. FFXIV has been dead for years, lets rehire Tanaka back, maybe he really was up to something with 1.0 and we just didnt gave it the chance.

Thing is the game won't ever get out of it's loop of tomes grind as end game as long as we got yoshi. He is not going to move the game to new things.

personally Im ok with this game's endgame being mostly that. Gives me the chance to play or do other things without fearing of being setback in terms of progression just because I didnt fully commit to it

He has talked about the possibility of horizontal progression. Whether it would actually happen is hard to say, especially now, because we are at a crossroads where they are going to create a new overarching story for 7.0 and with it comes the question, do we continue to level 100, 110, 120, get a level squish, or stop bothering with concepts like leveling and come up with a different idea for progression.

I would say that is risky and probably not worth doing unless it is a solid and proven idea and that is probably the conclusion most people in his position would arrive at.

Nobody is holding you down and forcing you to play the game. If you are unhappy find something else to do with your time.

Man, people on the forums have such bad takes. :x Its like they live at walmart.

This is inevitable. The opportunity to promote one game using the platform of another that is currently super successful is a golden opportunity SE cannot afford to pass up.

Hopefully you will have quit/been banned before that. Do us all a favor

If this isn't a joke and you're actually looking for something harder (via your other response) there's a classic FF11 server opening in a few days called Horizon XI. Take a look at that.

Same goes to anyone really who might be interested.

I like to think the whole "FFXIV being dead for years" wouldve been the clue to me joking.

But yeah if I wanted to play FFXI, I play FFXI. I play FFXIV because I like playing FFXIV and its endgame is very comfortable for me to do, as someone who isnt solely dedicated to just one MMO

How funny would it be if they used XIV revenue to fund XVI's development and then gave us a XVI event that was entirely cash shop oriented?
But no, in all likelihood I'm sure we'll get one similar to the XV event, since this project absorbed some of the XIV team's prominent members. It'd be weird if it was never at least referenced in this game.
