>The story sucks fat dick and our game is dying
>Shall we listen to what people are saying and fix the story?
>No, let's ignore their complaints and try to force the people who aren't playing the game because of how bad the story is into battle content they have no interest in
I mean it is a strategy and I can see what Yoshida is doing here, trying to balance out the game's audience not being reliant on only the MSQ, but 6 expansions in it might be too late to pivot into making FF14 known for it's fun gameplay for casuals. They can try but I would bet against the game if I had to put money on this.
My solution would be to fix the story AND this new strategy, so you please the audience who cared about the story while nudging them towards retention for the game in casual gameplay.
