Is it time for yoshi to step down from ff14?

That’s contradictory, and this contradiction is what OP is trying to convey. Yoshi-P will never play take risks anymore because this is SE’s only money-making machine left. Every other games have flopped.

Until SE has another breakthrough successful game, they will not take any risks to innovate anything within FFXIV.

Kind of a tricky situation then. Stagnation isnt what brought the game success. This is an industry wide problem aswell. Big companies are too afraid of innovation and are instead just trying to run along what seems to be well established paths, SE is no exception to that. They tried to hop on the live service bandwagon because to them it seemed like guaranteed success but failed catastrophically with several games that have been shut down this year.

I dont want him to step down, but I would like him to play less safe with new content and a some unpredictability.

That's exactly what gave us Island Sanctuary and Criterion Dungeons, which is what OP has a problem with.

"Give us new content!"

"No not like that!"

The problem isn't Yoshi. It's resources allocated to this game. Their main focus is on FF XVI. They don't even have enough budget for making new dungeon gear, or make it dyable. Innovation won't happen until the focus returns to FF XIV (if ever).

It won't. There's no reason for it to.

The people on this game have set the bar sooooooo low. The community does so much for this game in comparison to what the developers do. The community is the one that really keeps the game going.

Why should SE put more resources into the game when so many people are happy with the status quo as it is now? They get a consistent source of revenue that requires little upkeep, and what they earn from that source gets to easily be put into other places as they search for something new.

Absolutely not.

Yes as we all know launching multiple new data centers and completely overhauling the graphics of thousands of assets is absolutely free.

You mean Materia, the datacenter on life support ?

Dynamis was a good addition but is mainly used for housing purposes, for actual activities most people go on the old datacenters, not all but most, because of shorter queues and more parties available.

A good start would be to remove Materia and to put those ressources somewhere else.

What? His ability to show emotions somehow effects his ability to lead?

Cry is not allow in the traditional masculine No Shadow God society.

New topic is it time to step down from dark fantasy fanfic write in the general disgust forum. New tread it is good but reskin of old better tread. It become more copypasta than the Dragon Age 2 map design.

"general disgust forum" another certified graeham banger. I see you are not taking prisoners today lmao

[magitekLuna]

Yea... No. That wasn't even close to the problems 1.0 had. 1.0 failed because it was bad from the top down. The graphic engine was just one of the many many issues.

i clearly did say "SE management force a strange game loop to cover the fact the game was short and not much end game" , did i not?

[magitekLuna]

Well lets see, the zone where just copy and paste. There was no quest, no jobs, no NPCs outside the city, no direction. The combat system was nothing like it is today. These were failure of the Development team, not the game engine. It felt like they wanted to make a sandbox MMO but had no idea what a sandbox MMO was about. Feel free to search the internet for more in-depth information.

FYI, compared to 1.0 engine the current one we have runs like a dream.

you need to understand that most of it was becouse the game engine was not abele to have to much items in one place and run well as an MMO.
