Is game in danger of eventually breakings?

Mao been wonderings. Number of mats that can be gathered keeps increasing. Number of glams that can be gotten keeps increasing. Number of mechanics in fights keeps increasing. Is gonna come a point when game can't handle all this anymore?

Well, they've also been upgrading the game itself over the years. I mean, look at 7.0. It's slated as huge update.

Are you roleplay talking??

Don't you even dare question her RP talking

On topic, not really. The server can hold plenty of data by upgrading it

So why do they constantly making up excuses about limited data space? For example when asked for more glamour plates.
The reality is they are already pushing the outdated engine to its limits. Everytime they are asked about a feature its always "cant do, something something 1.0 code"

Probably the excuse for developing FF16 maybe? Also the 1.0 code is the meme from people while SE already stated that no 1.0 code lingering anymore

That's a flat out lie from Yoshi P. Most of the netcode we have right now is actually revamped in 2.0.

The real reason is because they want to minimize server costs and server overhead. It's pure business 101: cost-cutting.

This is a budget McDonald's online video game. Don't expect quality.

Except they've also announced that FFXIV was approved for a major infrastructure update that will begin in 7.0 and take 3-4 years to complete.

What can't be done now may be possible when that's completed.

Another issue they have to consider is what player clients are capable of handling. Not everyone has a high end PC gaming machine. They can do all the upgrades in the world to their infrastructure and it doesn't mean squat if players aren't likewise upgrading their clients to handle the changes.

PC will have minimum/recommended system requirements updated for 7.0. They have promised PS4 support through at least 7.0 but have made no promises past that. I expect that means that the game will be seeing some really helpful QoL changes as soon as PS4 support is dropped. I know they're keeping an eye on how many players are moving from PS4 to PS5.
