XVI Event

[DamianFatale]

Since Yoshi P is heavily involved, do you think we will get one this time? Maybe a lot closer to the release compared to when we got XV's event a bit late into the games life cycle?

I think it would be cool if they gave us stuff to promote the game before or shortly after the game came out. Idk why but I love cross campaigns when they are involved with multiple video games, and not just "go be the weirdo buying out all the butterfingers first thing at 6am in the morning."

Just think an event collab would be way cooler.

I presume there probably would be one, or at least some kind of reference between each game (as it is, it's been announced that preording the standard edition for FFXVI features as bonus items 'a Cait Sith Charm' and a sword called 'Braveheart', the latter of which the design is actually based on Yoshitaka Amano's artwork of the FFI Warrior of Light's sword and which.. we know of here in FFXIV as the Sword of Light from Seat of Sacrifice EX.

So maybe we'll get some sort of crossover with it in FFXIV, although whether it will be a short term event or something permenant in the game but more low key (like weapon/gear names) is a very good question.

We've had one for XI, XIII, and XV. I'd be surprised if we didn't get a XVI event.

Hopefully Yoshi-P would have quit FF14 by then.

Hopefully not I would say.

I wouldn't say quit. But if it does good enough he might be promoted.

that Yoshida really has been holding this game back. FFXIV has been dead for years, lets rehire Tanaka back, maybe he really was up to something with 1.0 and we just didnt gave it the chance.

Thing is the game won't ever get out of it's loop of tomes grind as end game as long as we got yoshi. He is not going to move the game to new things.

personally Im ok with this game's endgame being mostly that. Gives me the chance to play or do other things without fearing of being setback in terms of progression just because I didnt fully commit to it

He has talked about the possibility of horizontal progression. Whether it would actually happen is hard to say, especially now, because we are at a crossroads where they are going to create a new overarching story for 7.0 and with it comes the question, do we continue to level 100, 110, 120, get a level squish, or stop bothering with concepts like leveling and come up with a different idea for progression.

I would say that is risky and probably not worth doing unless it is a solid and proven idea and that is probably the conclusion most people in his position would arrive at.
