FF16 stealing even more dev time from FF14

[hunkygladiator]

Endwalker now has even less content than Shadowbringers. All money and resources are being pumped into FF16 and FF14 is in managed decline. We paid for FF14 not FF16.

FFXVI launch will be a double edged sword for Yoshi P... If it does well we may lose him to more future projects, if it does poorly may lose him altogether (Japanese dont take failures all that well, but he seem modern enough to jump back into things.)

not it doesn't

I think a comparison between ShB and EW contents is in order around patch 6.55 to see if it's true that EW has less content or not.
Although a comparison between 6.35 and 5.35 could work perfectly too.

The gaslighting is so strong with this thread its ridiculous

not it doesn't

This is right. The content IS there, it's just distributed in a different way.

The content that in ShB made up the Bozja/Zadnor zones, the relic grind and the large scale duties, is instead spent on Island Sanctuary, Variant/Criterion dungeons, and the new Deep Dungeon.
The design is less efficient, less impactful, but from an outside PoV it seems to have taken more or less the same resources. So it's not about dev time, its about design choices.

This is outright untrue lol.

Spot on. Keep in mind we just got a Deep Dungeon whereas ShB didn't get one. There are lots of things that "skip expansions."
ARR: PotD
HW: none
SB: HoH
ShB: none
EW: Orthos

That's just one example. There are probably others. EW doesn't appear to be getting a Eureka/Bozja zone, but it doesn't mean we haven't gotten content. Personally, I think a lot of this mindset is simply one's perception or better yet... a predisposition to look for the negative.

Palace of the Dead came out in 3.35, so HW.

Aha why would people be self entitled for wanting their money to go in the game they actually play? I don’t give two craps about 16, and would want my money to go in the game I pay to play, not in a game Ill never care about. And SE is not low on money, they still sell a lot of other single player games.

You have zero rights to tell people to shut up, unless you follow your own example at least sometimes and spare us all.

Because first of all, thats not whats even happening. If were to believe that FFXIV is suffering its quality due to FFXVI then its not because of resources but due to Yoshida not managing both projects very well.

And second, sorry but just like you dont particularly care for FFXVI, surprisignly a lot of people also dont much care for FFXIV so being this self-entitled that theyre wanting to develop other games because theres an audience for them that existed even before FFXIV existed is super cringe. Actually grow up and stop being so attached to one game.
