Next expansion hopes

[Arutan]

I wish next expension they would delete all casu account to stop the pf madness of people only coming to get PL.

I read an interview with Yoshi where he said that ideally there would be three more expansions. If we got 10 levels per expansion, that would leave us at level 100.

So they already know that in 8 years the game will come to an end? Great. Surely they already have enough money to not have to make the game live as much as they can.

I'd personally be fine with 5 levels.
75 is a nice number.

Best answer I've seen in over 10 years.

Problem is, how do you fit new abilities in 5 levels? 1 ability/ trait each level?

Could you link it, i am interested...

Because of the way MMORPG are going (just watch the number of expansion for games like DAOC, or everquest...) it means The Square Enix Leaders are thinking already for the "after FFXIV" ...

I dont see why a developper would decide to stop a game from a genre made to stop when comunity is naturally fading... Or maybe he knows the way he does the game is not so good? ...

Why not? I don't see any reason for having empty lvls inbetween skills. Heck they could just give us the new skills and traits from the MSQ, and not have lvls at all, the ilvl of the gear is what really counts anyways, the stats you get from lvl ups are puny.

Only thing with that was WoW did that with Cataclysm and a lot of people disliked having a full expansion feeling like it was half the experience, it also caused Mists of Pandaria to basically have a ton of unused content since you hit 90 about 70% through the content.

unless SE figure out a way to prevent players with SB to purchase and equip crafted Lv70 Ilv900 gears.. we will prob see level increase every expansion.. which is annoying because they means our skills will get tossed up AGAIN every expansion.

I hope they figure that out, because we really don\\'t need more abilities. Honestly we dont even need all our abilities as it is. Job fixes and balances, sure. Its just a waste of development time to add these abilities, Imo. If they do go to 80, I wish they dont add abilities, just fix what we have. Monk has had only utility upgrades and had only one change to its rotation ( I miss you, touch of death, ;- and its still fun to play.

Even if they did let SB users equip the higher ilvl gear, it wouldnt matter much outside of glamour as they would just level sync the content anyway, and just block new content behind that wall.

The quote is

When I asked what else Yoshida had left to accomplish, he pointed to the story, a highlight of Final Fantasy 14. The intricate, ongoing plot is the main reason the fourteenth Final Fantasy is so appealing to those of us who don't love MMOs, and it's one thing that Yoshida wants to complete before he ever thinks about retiring. "There's this overarching story, and I've actually set a goal or endpoint for that arc," said Yoshida. "That's one of the things I want to accomplish is to be able to finish that narrative."

"How long will that be?" I asked.

"I think we'd need at least another two more expansions," Yoshida said.

Of course that doesn’t mean the game will end only that Yoshida need at least two more expansions to finish his main story of FFXIV.
