It's only another 3 months, and you're lying to yourself if you're not going to wait.

We're going to get FF7 part 3 before 8.0
Will we get Half-life 3 before 8.0? /ponder
It could be that maybe they've heard all the negative feedback about FF14 and Dawntrail and are doing some big overhauls for 8.0 to hopefully improve the state of the game and not just follow the same stale format they've done for every past expansion while trimming down what little remains of the fat.
Or maybe nothing will change and it's just a sign of even longer and longer patch cycles with very little content because the high-ups continue to slash FF14's budget to fund other failed projects.
Below we have a transcription of what Naoki Yoshi-P Yoshida said at PAX:
- "For some players, like me, I kind of get sleepy because it's so repetitive."
Yoshida said recently that the battle content designers still haven't figured out where to start with BST, so don't get your hopes up.
This is probably by design.
Square Enix marketing would prefer the bored XIV players snag the finale of their trilogy and beat it before the new expansion comes out, rather than get distracted with an expansion and ignore the finale.
I'm not saying that. It's not even directly related to the root of the issue.
They really can't let people linger in a bad expansion just with the promise "Look Forward To It" that everything will be good in 8.0.
They can take as long as they need to release a good product, however by not doing anything with the present, they lose the trust that people will wait. They had this trust before, and an expansion like Shadowbringers was really good, even with all the logistic chaos caused by Covid.
We know literally nothing about what is to come in 8.0, not even the jobs - allegedly the expansion's highlight. And here I'm not asking for a concrete preview showcasing stuff, no, but more like a concept talk. We'll probably get that by the JP Fanfest, with actual details only with the Media Tour. Something 1.5 years from now.
Yep even on my server, there have been 10 larges abandoned and plenty of mediums. Just shows how many people were afk / offline when demolition wasn't working. Now its freeing up largely.
