>Square Enix Q1 2025 financial report shows a really sharp decline in particularly the MMO division with FFXIV YoY after the launch of Dawntrail.

>MMO gross sales decreased by ¥2.9 billion yen (-23%) and operational profits are down ¥3 billion (-45%)

>Square Enix shareholder Yuzu writes that something must be done for FFXIV to regain its popularity and user base as it is an important pillar to the company’s HD game sales.

How would (You) save FFXIV, /v/?

>make new expansion were you actually explore the world like Emet told
>leave wuk behind, never to be mention again
>New skills instead of evolving old ones for the expansion but make them play unique roles during team fights to make classes different
>No mini semi open maps interconected via loading screens. Make one or two big maps just for the expansion with no flying until the near end of the MSQ

If the only reason they want to improve the game is because it gives them funding for other projects they might as well not fucking do it at all, because it won't work. XIV players (excluding the trannies) aren't retarded and know when to quit.

SE can't get by with doing the absolute minimum like blizzard or arenanet can.
