Final Fantasy 14 director Naoki 'Yoshi-P' Yoshida hopes for a brighter future for the MMO – one that perhaps includes another "rebirth," of sorts, akin to what the community saw during A Realm Reborn's monumental release back in 2013.
That might just be wishful thinking, though – after all, A Realm Reborn reshaped the game in its entirety, paving the way for the Final Fantasy 14 fans now know and love. Yoshi-P really does, however, seem to allude to a rebirth of some caliber, explaining that he's looking toward the next 10 years of the Square Enix MMO in a recent interview with Inven (as translated by DeepL and shared by players on Reddit).
