sure... as much as I like Yoshi P, how many times before has he done corpo speak just to placate the players?

I dont think he is as in touch with where the game is as much as we think or even he thinks he is.

and while sure, he DID imply that.. it was definitely not an indication they were changing direction.


"Yoshida (reflecting on the fan festival): So from now on, we'll keep working to surprise players and go beyond what they imagine. But that reminds me of something I regret… as we've continued to operate FF14, we've made the game more comfortable, a game you can play without stress. But looking back on the last 10 years, I'm thinking we've overdone that a bit.

Most Importantly came just after
Yoshida: Speaking of FF14, I would like to restore that part a little bit. If we do that, we can give everyone a better challenge, in a good way, than ever before. "

sure, HE WOULD LIKE to restore it"a little bit" but there is no guarantee. there is a lot of vagueness there, he is just spitballing and there is no solid indication that things will change... at all.
