The rarest FFXIV objects might come again, you simply need to ask properly

What would you prefer to see in FFXIV Dawntrail? There’s actually no scarcity of issues to do in Remaining Fantasy 14 at this level, however that doesn’t imply gamers don’t have a thousand concepts about what else they’d prefer to see subsequent – or objects they need to come again. Talking at a press occasion attended by PCGamesN throughout FFXIV Fanfest London 2023, recreation director and producer Naoki Yoshida says the staff will take into account something if gamers ask loudly sufficient.

Through the occasion, the place he additionally mentioned his dream of a doable FFXIV Diablo collab, Yoshi-P solutions a number of questions on doable future options, in addition to whether or not we’ll see among the recreation’s previous occasions return to offer newer gamers an opportunity at among the extra distinctive FFXIV objects to have graced the MMORPG up to now.

Talking as to whether we might see limited-time occasions with distinctive merchandise rewards resembling these for Dragon Quest, Yo-kai Watch, or Remaining Fantasy 15 make a return, Yoshida says, “If there may be demand, so long as gamers increase their voices, we’ll see what sort of timing works.” The FF15 occasion, significantly standard as a result of it permits gamers to seize the Regalia pushed by Noctis and friends as a mount, has already made two appearances, in 2019 and 2021.

Participant demand is one thing Yoshida talks about at size. Following information that one particularly devoted participant has accomplished the near-unimaginable feat of gathering each in-game FFXIV achievement, Yoshida is requested whether or not the staff is planning to make more durable achievements sooner or later, which he says is one thing he’d take into account if there was demand – and he’s trying to that participant for inspiration.

“Whether or not we might create an achievement that may be larger issue… That each one boils all the way down to this participant; if they’re requesting it, then after all we’d be pleased to do it. Simply drop us a message on the boards,” he tells FFXIV’s most ardent achievement hunter, “When you do ship us the message, belief me, we are going to preserve our promise.”

Yoshida can also be requested whether or not we will probably be seeing a harder leaping puzzle in Dawntrail, akin to Stormblood’s Kugane Tower. These have lengthy been a well-liked facet exercise for gamers, and the staff clearly acknowledges the demand. He responds that should you’re somebody who likes “actually hardcore issue, just like the Kugane leaping puzzle, we’ve acquired you lined. We’re going to make it.”

The Remaining Fantasy 16 collab coming in some unspecified time in the future in 6.5x (so previous to Dawntrail’s arrival) will embrace gear based mostly on protagonist Clive Rosfield in addition to his trustworthy companion Torgal as each a mount (in his grownup type) and a minion (as a wee pup). Yoshida says the staff “doesn’t have plans” to introduce content material for later characters within the story but, noting that many gamers might not but have performed the sport, with the FF16 PC model nonetheless in improvement.

Nevertheless, as soon as once more he reiterates that if there’s sufficient demand, it’s one thing the staff would possibly take into account. “For now, I hope you may make do with Clive and Torgal,” he remarks, “but when I handle to get a while to speak to Remaining Fantasy 16’s producer [never missing a chance to joke about him leading the development of both games] once more then possibly I can pitch somewhat bit extra of a grander crossover.”

In fact, recognizing fan demand doesn’t all the time imply one thing will certainly make it throughout. There’s licensing to think about, and the way the mission will really be carried out – as famous whereas speaking about his dream of working with Diablo, the place Yoshida mused whether or not the extra ‘hardcore’ type of Blizzard’s ARPG would even be possible in FFXIV. However a minimum of you recognize it by no means hurts to ask!
