We lost 70% of our player base half a year in

OP is ignoring the exodus of steam client users to PC client users?
Isn't we just had a huge cry out about few months ago?
Since when Steam is a good measurement for a multiplatform game like this?
Most of Japanese players are PS4/PS5 players, PC is not a thing in Japan

This also happened durin shb and no one says shit just because asmongold made a lot of people play during covid.

Its more about tracking trends using steam as a sample size I bet
Still, I never would have guessed that new expansions bring people to this game, and they leave after they finish it.

Final Fantasy, a Realm Reborn, giving trolls a home since 2013

Ahh, a new alt skiros? Or TitanMen? Or brofists? Or whoever you are?

Which one is the real you anyway.

He's a bit predictable.



I won't need to look in his lodestone to see a single level 90 healer and a FC with 1 person in it either.

The audacity for Skiros to pick furry race

This is what his alt should be

I heard Asmongold was going to start playing again, so maybe there will be a short influx of people following him around or whatever. Maybe some threads about it too, I guess.

Yeah, Asmongold will pump up those numbers by quite a bit. If Asmongold can't save FFXIV then we are truly in a dire situation.

I mean what did anyone expect? There's a pretty big number of players that only play either 1.when an expac drops or 2.when a major patch drops. That and there realistically was no way we would retain all the WoW players we absorbed during the end of Shb. A lot of MMO players are just jumping around looking for the new hotness so they jumped from WoW to FF14 to New World to Lost Ark back to WoW or FF14. On top of that there was just a window of several major releases back to back that would also pull players away. (Elden Ring, Lost Ark, Horizon FW, Monster Hunter Sunbreak right around the corner) FF14 isn't without its flaws but it's important to look at the big picture as there were a lot of outside sources that would pull people away.
