Maybe they may do a FFXIV x FFXVI crossover event for 6.xx.

So that's where all our sub money went!

Normally I would not entertain this idea but the art direction style and our game director have obviously been pulled to finish FF16 meaning FF14 has been neglected for this project.

Yes the constant flow of new content every 4 months outside of a pandemic delay are sure signs FFXIV has been neglected. Get a grip.

They need to decide if they want an action combat system or a party system because they've been trying to have it both ways since FF12 and it's just not something that's ever worked. Combat in 12 was put your controller down and have a sandwich. 13 was tap X over and over again. 15 was hold down X.... 7R wasn't much of an improvement, though the ATB gauge added to the complexity, but still was pretty shallow. Additionally the AI controlled companions (except in 12 where you could meticulously craft their AI) have been really bad.

That being said, I'm happy to see they've decided to go back to the high fantasy roots and bring back the crystals. I'd been getting really tired of the contemporary or science fiction settings. So I'm cautiously optimistic. Will have an even better feeling if I learn that Nomura wasn't involved in this one...

That explains why there is no content in XIV, dev team is actually making FFXVI.
So, will people who sub to XIV get XVI for free or for -50%? We already funded the game.

That's not how it works.
You think people who bough XV funded the development of XV?
No, the people who bought XIII funded it.

Endgame outside of leveling a alt or doing raids is honestly pretty shallow compared to other MMO's. This MMO is a MASSIVE cashcow for Square Enix so honestly yeah I do expect more.

I wonder if this means we will be getting an XVI event.

I chuckled at that.

Playstation 5 Exclusive....Also available on PC

It did say Playstation 5 Console Exclusive though. So first thing in my mind (especially when seeing the note at the bottom) was just being exclusive on all available consoles (PS, Xbox & Switch).
