Young players are not going to play FF14

[Turtledeluxe]

"Young people" is a super broad category though. Like you can say a night club and a Jazz bar both serve the "nightlife" customers, but the target of audience and their own service are so different that it would make no sense on why one should try to court the others. Whenever someone to try to make a grand statement about such a broad category ... all I can say they're making a lot of assumption that often time just render the point moot.

On the one hand this is true and we are making anecdotal claims. On the other hand, I have never met someone under 18 in the game or in real life who plays XIV. I haven't even met someone trying to lie or roleplay being 18 or younger. I don't see that age range in the community or as far as influencers/streamers. Yet we can look at other games and see younger audiences without trying. Fortnite, Roblox, CoD, etc. Now it could be there's a silent, faceless number of younger users in the game and maybe these other live service games just have a very aggressive younger user base..but come on now.

And to be clear who made it about players under 18? Yoshi P did by making references to popular games. Maybe there's a chance he's talking about 20 to 35. I doubt it. I mean even if he is, a lot of them are playing those other games anyway.
