, the latest expansion for MMORPG Final Fantasy 14, was released back in June, it marked the start of a new story arc. After a decade of growing popularity across multiple expansions telling a singular narrative, Dawntrail brought players to a brand new world with new characters and a fresh graphical update.
However, when things become more complicated later in the story, if we haven't gone through that process of ensuring the player knows about the world they are in, they won't really know what's going on. So on the one hand, there were players who appreciated being able to learn in detail about everything in advance. On the other hand, there was another group of players who just wanted to progress at a faster pace. And I completely understand where they are coming from as well.
Of course, whichever development teams are behind those games, I believe they must really want their players to enjoy the game, and that's what's behind their motivation for updating it. However, the desire to carry out those changes and the need to carry out those changes are not accurately conveyed to the players, and consequently, amongst the playerbase, they have an increased sensation of frustration.
The battle team, right until the last minute, were considering whether to make any adjustments to the job. The battle director actually consulted with me because he was quite torn about whether they should go through with an adjustment or not.
In Final Fantasy 14, we have a lot of different content. Players can enjoy the game in a lot of different ways. There are many housing enthusiasts who are completely indifferent to Ultimate Raids, so it doesn't matter to them whether the Ultimate Raids are there or not. On the other hand, we do have hardcore battle players, so they are super interested and invested in the Ultimate Raids, but they might not necessarily be so interested in housing.
If we were to give you a hint that we would be going to all of the Reflections in the next expansions - and let's say we've already been to Reflection A, so people would know we would be going to Reflection B or C next - there wouldn't really be a sense of excitement. We want to ensure that we keep that excitement, so that's why we don't really go into the specifics.
