I think it has been for a while. They're just reiterating the point.
Well deserved, hopefully his studio carries the mantle of FF for years to come

sooo, high-res textures patch when? Usually they said it would be too expensive IIRC.
Yeah, it's basically a meaningless number. It did receive a significant boost in subs though, it's easily about 1m now.
Hopefully S-E gives them a bigger budget going forward.
There are some Areas in the game that needs upgrades. Engine upgrade to DX12 to support modern features like ray tracing and general upgrades that allow for bigger/seamingless zones, textures upgrades, improved shadow and way more customization for all races new faces and more slider in general if possible (or even a complete overhaul including a very detailed character creator?)

Good for them, especially after how the game launched. It's not a game for me after trying it multiple times, but it's still nice to see it be successful and to see another game in the MMO space finally give WoW a run for its money.
I figured. Not meaning to diminish the number or anything, it's still a hell of an accomplishment. I was just wanting to make sure I understood correctly.
It's wild to think back to my time in 1.0 and then see the game now.
Very good. They should just let Yoshi-P be in charge of FF going forward, he knows whats up. FF16 is going to turn out incredible as well under his supervision.
They've said recently they were in the early discussions for that. Didn't guarantee it but seemed likely it would happen eventually since they're planning for another 10 years.
For sure, remember WoW during its peak was at 12 million or just over 12 million during Wrath of the Lich King, I don't think any MMO will ever come close to that number for active nor can I believe one ever got to that to begin with.
Now give Yoshi P the motherfuckin budget he deserves!!! My boy is carrying Final Fantasy on his motherfuckin back!
Sadly this is the Internet today.This comment hahahaha
People who don't know what the fuck they are talking about just spouting their opinions as fact all day, whilst claiming actual facts are opinions.
I created another thread but Yoshi-P said that they would "spare no expense going forward."
A while back I was telling my FC mates what 1.x was like and at one point said "Guys, understand that at one point Square put out an update that was basically 'We have quests now, with exclamation points above heads and everything!'
They thought I was making that up.
Yoshi-P has explained many times that the issues with upgrading XIV is not budget (they have enough for that), but finding manpower that:
- Understands japanese
- Has enough experience working in MMOs
- Can easily be onboarded
So what they usually do is onboard people from other divisions, teach them how their workflow works. They have an extremely hard time finding people outside of SE.
Yes! Hahaha it warms my heart following his tweets. This is such a big compliment to the 14 team, when the father of Final Fantasy is pretty much obsessed with their game (I mean he's already almost level 60 as of today). I also love how he chose a lalafell!!
It's honestly great to see the effort made in making this game a success. I hope this enthusiasm reflects in XVI as well.
