Yoshida telling players to go play other games is very damaging to FFXIV

[SenorPatty]

Noaki Yoshida in one interview told that if players are bored with the game or if they have completed all PVE content then they should take a break and come back in the next patch. Frankly speaking this is very damaging to the game and to square enix as a whole because its an mmorpg and players play mmorpg to commit long term. Look at the WoW director, Ion Hazzikotas. He never told players to take a single break from WoW. Infact he gives players new ideas on how to play WoW differently when they get bored or during a content drought but never once he said to take a break.

When I play an mmorpg I play it non stop for 10+ years without taking breaks and I am sure there are millions of players like me who think the same way. Majority of mmo players have no interest in single player games.

Well you pretty much admitted that you've bought into the philosophy that was ingrained into you for over a decade that a game should be sucking up all your time. Now you're having a clash of paradigm because another game developer is telling you it doesn't have to be this way.

I'd go into depth here but honestly, I just feel like this is some kind of bait.

Incredibly new forum account.

Immediate reference to WoW.

Outlandish and hyperbolic claims.


Yah. You're safe with that feeling.
