    No, they actually will not. Making vanity stuff and combat animations are vastly different fields that have substantially different requirements. You cannot just shuffle someone who does hair design into combat and interactive content. There is a reason Yoshi is expressly asking for two experienced staff specifically for raid oriented development. The reason we see a lot of vanity additions beyond people liking it, is the people designing that would literally have nothing else to do.

    That's good to know, even if impossible to read... well at least the structure looks like hiring


    But we can never have enough developers so let's keep the main question up:

    Would you be willing to pay one additional "dollar" if it meant increased quality or more content?


    I started this topic mainly because we are always demanding something and complaining about something so it interest me if we are prepared to give something in return for the better quality of service.

    The main reason why the Party Finder is not working for the harder content and so many groups disband after few wipes is caused by the players who ignore the comments.

    Getting to the phase XYZ once does not mean you are ready to join parties to do XYZ.

    Parties should spend most of the time doing the phase that is written in the comment not trying to get there.

    I believe it was mentioned at one point that they also need to speak fluent Japanese, which narrows the field down considerably...
    Yep, that's all part of the skills-based issue. The conversation shouldn't be "should we pay more?" at all, because money is not the issue.

    And also the fact that most of the money goes to their (SE) other projects, only small portion is allocated to FFXIV
    Part of business i suppose..

    They have/had to. FF15 is a game many people been waiting for. Not many people know that ff10-2 was suppose to be ff13 on ps2, but they waited and wanted ff13 on ps3 instead. Because of xbox limits (yeah no bluray) they wanted to make 3 games out of ff13, which originaly was meant to be 1 as a whole. Since new ideas kept coming up their sleves, they extended it slightly more. Square enix lost a lot of economy because of these games plus kept posposting FF15. To make make up for it, the income of this game, is spread out for FF15 even FF7 remake I would say.

    It's not a bad thing at all, but I think they should use more resources/money on this game, to attract new players and let them stay, just like it's a very good idea to keep the current ones in game. There is only so much this game can do to keep old players. Thing is, this game is a goldmine atm for them and their job as a company is to do that. We are their customers and they would like us to stay for more income. More players doesn't necessary mean they will have a lot more income, far from it. The biggest income is to maintain the old ones, including getting new ones.

    No, they get those additional dollars/pounds from me with additional retainers and Mogstation. I know this is the same for other people, if you wanna give additional funds go buy a minion.

    FFXIV survived because SE allocated more funds into the game to give it a second chance, so it wouldn't make sense to invest more money only to have that money go to the game. It also wouldn't make sense to make an MMO and just throw all funds back into the game, that just defeats the purpose of the business.

    It's possible FFXIV won't always divert so much funds to other games, but until they pay off their tab they have no choice but to use the profit to payback into the cost of making/remaking the game.

    It's odd. I haven't seen any other online game get as many updates and as many events/items inbetween as this one. Is there really a lack of devs? Or is it just that people have been too spoiled with all the updates and feel that nothing is ever enough?

    It never will never be enough, as people will always want more regardless.
