Final Fantasy 14 is currently under criticism for several reasons. A YouTuber has now clarified in a video what is going wrong – and how players should deal with it.
Why is there currently trouble with Final Fantasy 14? The player count of Final Fantasy 14 continues to decline. Currently, this is said to be the strongest player decline in 8 years, primarily triggered by veterans.
In a YouTube video, MMORPG streamer The Daily Preach covers a rant from Ilamatodd, who goes into the problems of the game. According to the FF14 content creator, several things are going wrong:
- There have been no updates to the user interface or quality-of-life features for over 10 years
- The mobile version of FF14 is receiving features that players of the main version envy
- The server structure is outdated
- The main quest in the new expansion Dawntrail is unsatisfactory
Additionally, he mentions a few more reasons. For Ilamatodd, there are few reasons to currently log into Final Fantasy 14. These include one’s own house or the friends with whom one regularly meets in-game. However, apart from that, the MMORPG provides little incentive to log in.
The Daily Preach agrees, stating that the criticism is even mild. He also sees hardly any reasons to log into FF14 at the moment. He reveals how he deals with such games.
YouTuber recommends dealing with criticism, which not everyone can afford
How does he deal with his dissatisfaction? As soon as The Daily Preach is dissatisfied with a game, he simply switches games. His channel shows that he not only engages with Final Fantasy 14 but also other video games. One shouldn’t let such problems influence one’s life.
However, he can also understand that content creators like Ilamatodd can’t just easily turn their backs on a game. After all, they earn their money by specializing in a certain game, streaming it, and cannot just switch as easily as he claims.
What is his prediction? The Daily Preach assures that Naoki Yoshida, the producer of Final Fantasy 14, is well aware of the criticism.
In fact, the producer addressed an issue in a recent interview, which is a misstep in development. In the future, they want to appeal to both casual and hardcore players alike. An example of this will be an upcoming dungeon with patch 7.3.
Ilamatodd mentioned that some players are envious of features from the mobile version. However, even in FF14 Mobile, not everything is running smoothly. Currently, developers need to combat numerous bots: The new version of Final Fantasy 14 is free, but now requires payment for a feature that every MMORPG has
