FFXIV population decline continues

[NightHour]

Not worried in the slightest.

Natural course of an MMO, the game isn't gonna die until it costs them more than they're making.

FFXIV accounts for 68% of their total revenue.

Wonder if we can get back to Stormblood population levels before the end of the year.

Only thing to to make the Lucky Bancho link complete is if the white knights come in here saying the population drop is completely normal and doesn't show the whole picture because Yoshi once said we should all play other games too.

The rate of the decline is shocking and unprecedented. But yeah, no doubt we're about to be told the data is flawed, despite the methodology being broadly consistent over all expansions.

Probably by the same people who would tout Lucky Bancho as proof when the game is doing well

Something something COVID. Something something WoW exodus.

I think we'll hit Stormblood levels of activity this expansion, given we aren't really seeing anything except regression

We've already hit Stormblood. We're headed back to Heavensward.

Just going by lucky bancho, were already below shadowbringer numbers and are currently at the peak stormblood levels of player count. So by next quarter we either rise, stabilize, or sink more.
