Since this is a FF14 thread technically here is a recent Yoshida interview https://feed4gamers.com/game-news/317170/final-fantasy-xiv-s-next-chapters-an-exclusive-talk-with-yoshi-p.htm
>they aren't introducing another focal character soon
>7.4 and 7.5 will be continuing to explore the Ninth in lead-up to next expansion
>Yoshida is aware they're gonna have to drop the PS4 at some point, even with SIE pushing OS updates specifically for FFXIV to combat issues with "data limits" (storage? read/write speed?) because those updates have already chewed through most/all available data overhead
>Is pleased with how the expansion turned out overall, to the chagrin of shitposters
>Content design shifting more towards an "all players can enjoy it" model (variable difficulty? outright abandoning hard content while adding a hard option to normal mode stuff in-instance?)
