FF16 stealing even more dev time from FF14

XI Players:


But yeah, 16 does not even look that good. Just as XI was the most profitable game in the series, SE feels the need to empty the clip in the next big mainline series.
(Even at the expense of their past titles...SE needs a hit)

one thing that people seem to forget is that development started back at 2016. during 3.5 of Heavensward. If it were true that resources to FFXVI development is what caused the current patch cycle to be so "lackluster" then we should've seen this happen 7 years ago.

Let’s address this illogical comment. Final fantasy 14 didn’t always exist. The money to develop this game came from somewhere. That somewhere would be other square enix titles.

So in turn the profits from this game, as with all other square games, whether it’s final fantasy, tomb raider, a marvel game, whatever, go into developing other games.

You’d think this reasoning would be obvious

my apologies, but I do not think you can apply "reason" and "obvious" to a majority of posts on the english forums. I am sure back in the day, the same people would have been carrying pitchforks around the burning barn shouting "we paid for X game not FFXIV"

it never changes, never will

Funny thing is, every expansion people have complained about the Quality of Content, Doom and Gloom, etc.
Just to turn around Next expansion and Suddenly say it was good.
Hard to take most people on the Forums Seriously.

It's really annoying at this point. I understand people are frustrated with things not living up to their expectations, but being Doomers over the slightest thing will not win anybody over to their cause. Hell, it'll likely get people to start associating the person with their ridiculous Dooming and start considering them a troll or not worth taking seriously. It already happened with at least one poster recently (with one apologizing to them for believing that about them), and it won't be the last time.

We are not entitled to the finance and banking info at Square Enix, unless they choose to publicly disclose it. Stop acting like you know the games budget. You do not. Every year this rumor changes with a new game that is apparently stealing the budget. No it is not. That is not public information.
