Thread: 8.0 expansion speculation

I mean outside of the clear sarcasm this thread is showing...PS4 will be dropped at that point, I can imagine 7.X patches updating the expansions to all be uniform for the most part and then 8.0 adds more flourish and PS4 gets dropped. With how quick PS5s are shifting as well (especially with the recent sales price drop) it will be a good time to drop it off. There are other things they could do to even give PS5 more longevity whether that is FSR 2.0 but the tech has come far and they have added for instance dynamic resolution scaling.

Yoshi P would never step down or off the project especially when he commented having 2 more expansions worth of story if anything I could imagine him dropping producer role and maybe have more co-directors like he technically did for heavensward.

Other parts I think slyphs need to be a playable race said everyone and err the expansion after this should be akin to just one big animal crossing segment.

Jenova is coming. 7.4 and 7.5 will hint it and it will arrive in 8.0

If only. The planet being mortally wounded by an alien parasite would be pretty interesting. Word is Tetsuya Nomura still isn't too keen on letting FF7 properties crossover into FFXIV, though.

Planet wounded by an alien parasite... Use the better one... Lavos... >.>

As for 8.0 expectations...

Game reduced to 6 jobs. Those jobs are Tank, Healer, Melee, Pew pew, Avada Kadavra, and BLU which remains as a limited job.

New level scaling ring added that makes your character auto-dodge avoidable attacks

New level scaling ring added that reduces your job's optimal rotation to mashing 1 button

But what if people don't want to play RPR?

They get ignored because the game needs to be more "accessible"
