I'd like to hear about a long-term plan. I've heard things such as level 100 will be the final level cap. I've heard about potentially making 7.0 a "second start point" to make the game more accessible to future players as the story continues to grow. I want to know if they're going to continue adding 2 jobs per expansion because it seems like at this point continuing that level of growth will be too much.
I'm hoping we get some confirmation around the future of the game. It's an old game. Talking pure craziness here, maybe it makes sense for 7.0 to be FFXIV's final expansion, but they have a way to export your character into FFXVII or something like that.
I dunno! But I hope to hear more about the distant future.
You basically phrased my uncertainty better than I could. Really hoping the dev team is able to address these aspects of longevity, particularly concerning story length. FF14 has an amazing story, but at this point asking a new player to invest hundreds of hours into it just to catch up is a huge ask, no matter how good it is.
I don't think they're giving up on 14 after just this expansion, though, given that they are also adding graphical improvements. Seems like a weird addition to make if the intent was to make it end-of-life in the near future.
I think at the release of 6.0 they said they were planning for at least another 10 years of content.
I would be amazed if they could milk the same formula for another 10 years
Haha, yes. Agreed. Please look forward to it?
