Congratulations on FF16 being a huge success

Yeah how dare SE, a company known for their multiple IPs as well as a franchise that strives to reinvent itself with every title not drop everything and only focus on their beloved cashcow that is FFXIV.

Im sure the majority of consumers who dont give a flying fuck about this game is going to like thay business decision.

Yeah I rather see new things coming out from SE rather than just stick to a single game like Blizzard does with WoW. I say this as a consumer that enjoys other games besides FFXIV.

Keep being salty folks.

and Outriders

Were the 3 big new IP from them over the past 3 years?
All kinda trash/mid and didn't perform well. SE should just play to the strengths of making JRPGs and remakes of JRPGS.

I just hope I have enough popcorn when things don't change as drastically as people expect once FFXVI is out and the team is officially back on full FFXIV duty.

The hardware level graphics team we know got released back to XIV last year and immediately put to work on the 7.0 graphical overhaul.

But you're right, most of the core team is going continue to be working on the PC port for the next year, as well as whatever events and updates they have planned.

Its so funny about about you WoW Refugees that defend Square at every step all have thousands of posts in 2 years while everyone that has been here for almost 10 years doesnt come even close to that. Where do you find all the time to shill with the "huge amount of content in the game"?

I played wow for 2 weeks like 10 years ago. I'm hardly a wow refugee. My main mmos before XIV were swg, lineage 2, and guild wars/guild wars 2.

huh?

Diablo 4 , Overwatch 2 to name but a few.

Starcraft as well as mainline Warcraft would like to say hi.

Also looking at how theyre poorly handling Overwatch 2 yeah consider that game pretty much dead now. All thats seriously left are WoW and Diablo and thats sad

OK, you don't seem to know how this works.

For a new project, companies raise external investments + funds raised from net profits that is specific to new projects.

Whats seems to be the case here is, no external investments applied for, funds and resources taken directly from concurrent projects i.e in this case FF14 as their other game releases have not done well.

So yes, the likeliness of SE actually grafting funds from FF14 that should of been for FF14 diverted, this is the bit you are missing and many others as well, the resources and funds for FF14 have been diverted for another game as opposed to specific investment for it.

You realise very few companies actually fund their projects without investments right and when they do, something has to give - this is FF14.

FFVII Rebirth, Octopath Traveler 2, FF Pixel Remaster Collection, Dragon Quest XII, Chrono Cross Radical Dreamers, Kingdom Hearts IV and of course FFXVI just to name a few released and ongoing projects from the recent years at the top of my head.

Ok then, have fun having to pay money on a broken promised PvE mode thats just a shitier version of what they had shown.

Do people like you that fall for clickbait articles realize the PVE was always going to be paid?

Ok then have fun paying monthly for a mediocre single player experience with a cashshop while all the revenue goes into failed NFT projects. You are so far down the white knight hole that you made up your own reality.
