If you’re a Final Fantasy fan and you’ve been worried about what might be in store when you go to jump into Final Fantasy 14’s Dawntrail expansion, then here’s some news – Naoki Yoshida wants you to chill out. This is because the game’s developers have been busy doing a lot of prep to make sure the Endwalker expansion’s server issues don’t happen this time around.
Yep, speaking to press at a preview event for Dawntrail (thanks, GamesRadar) Yoshida addressed fan concerns prompted by the server congestion issues that affected Endwalker’s arrival back in 2021.
“We know that after the peak has passed, we can usually expect 2,000 or 3,000 players on average,” Yoshida said, “So from that perspective, it wouldn’t make sense that we arranged the box so that it would accommodate 10,000, for example. It was a source of great inconvenience for our players last time.”
