I would love to see Yoshida come up with a completely new idea/framework for an MMO instead of being stuck with what 1.0 left him and iterating upon that. I get this is his baby now and all the things I disagree with fall squarely on his shoulders as the director, but if FF16 turns out to be an incredible game I would absolutely love to see what he does with an entirely original MMO built on a modern engine and new ideas.
Exactly! 16 was a chance for the team to take a break from 14 and do something fresh and so far it looks absolutely incredible, but I feel the same way, what can he and the team do with starting from fresh, even using a new engine like UE5 that makes it so much easier to build open world content. I think that's why he made that statement of wanting to do another MMO before he retires, because he had to work magic with limitations, and now with all the experience from changing 14, what can he do starting from scratch and getting to make something in his creative vision as a video game designer/producer, it's exciting to think about
