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

7.0 to fix everything is my new copium. I'm excited for the graphics upgrade and Yoshida's vague hints about doing something different with the game for its second decade. I've heard similar things before and been disappointed but maybe this time... this time it won't be so heavily rooted in the old systems and content structure.

You just keep comin' back huh? Must be boring in those roulettes. Be sure to get your homework done while you're at it.

What do you want from XIV? Answer the question.

I've answered that question more times than I can count. I'm not about to write you an essay brother. You can browse the wiki that is my post history. lol

Disappointing but never unexpected. Have a nice night.

Best summary for Endwalker. lol




You're not meeting your mandatory quota of fun in FFXIV!

I'm calling the XIV Yoshi-Police - Get 'em bois, lock him in the ERP dungeon and force-feed him Fantasia until he grows cat ears and speaks UWU.

One dungeon every other patch. Only one Ultimate, delayed all the way until 7.5. One new class. Female Hrothgar delayed until 7.2 but they'll make it a selling point for the next expansion. Oh and new relic will now drop from doing expert roulette 100 times.

LMFAO #190

So if no one can agree what the actual population is for FFXIV then what is the point? Someone will say its inaccurate.

Doesn't really matter if we know the exact sizes, sample sizes such as steam charts give us insight on where its trending.

Exact numbers aren't as relevant as the patterns we see for the number we do have.

It does fascinate me that people for some reason believe there will be a significant difference in trend across platforms. The people playing the game on Steam are no different from those using the direct-from-SE client or on a PS5. If one medium documents a significant rise or fall in engagement, you can safely bet it will be the same across the others. Departures caused by platform-specific technical issues notwithstanding, of course.
