Current Housing issues - The Lack of Actual Housing

[Jojoya]

FFXIV is a better game, better world, better classes, better story all together... but this housing situation will HAUNT FFXIV unless they do something SOON

I don't think that WoW housing is going to impact FFXIV player population all that much for anything to haunt SE. The art aesthetic is so very different in WoW that players wouldn't be able to create the housing designs popular here. Getting a house won't mean much if players don't like how they end up looking and there's already negative feedback about the concept art, especially from Horde players. They're tired of always getting sticks, hides and mud associated with a race that only about 10% of them play.

I also wouldn't count on what is described in the WoW article being what they deliver. WoW has a very long history of overpromising things (like all the Garrison options that were supposed to be available but never materialized).

The article is also vague on some key points, like if every character will be able to have a house or if it's going to be limited to one Horde and one Alliance house per warband (a warband is all the characters on the same account).

I genuinely don't think that WoW housing is going to have much impact on FFXIV housing or FFXIV popularity in general. Depending on how the WoW system ends up working, at most it becomes another "but that game was able to do it" argument for players wanting improvements to FFXIV housing.

i think the best thought here is to wish the WoW players the best. if they get a successfull and well received update . maybe SE will be like "heyy thats a good idea!"

better to raise people up than pull them down

i know how much Yoshi P cares and loves this game.

Does he though?

Does he though?

I mean the man cried, over the toxicity that had come into FF i think either during Heavensward or Stormblood. and he cried on a live letter

Oh during HW I do believe he still cared. I think he fell off during StB. Now I don't really think he gives XIV much thought. Yoshida at this point is very much a PR guy and everything he says and does is strategic, so I even question something like tears. He knows his audience and knows how a move like that would rally a very vocal subset of the players, where if a GW2, WoW or ESO dev would do the same it wouldn't have the same effect. So, sorry, but I am mashing X to doubt here.

He still loves this game but you also need to know he is also part of Japanese corporate
When SE is bleeding money with their DEI failures, company need him to sacrifices some FF14 features to keep SE alive
Unleash your anger to correct target, SE corporate suits, not a Dev stucked between community and SE corporate

Wow, are you really one of those people that blames everything wrong with the world on DEI? Just stop please and keep that nonsense away from here, politics divides people too much.
