Final Fantasy 14 producer and director Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida says more hardcore fans of the MMO might find patch 7.3's Deep Dungeon "lacking," so the team is adding an "extra hard boss" you can fight after reaching floor 99.
Speaking to RPGSite, Yoshida delves into the challenges of catering to everyone in the MMO's varied fanbase. Introducing a high-end raid is wonderful if you're a hardcore player with a dedicated group to perfect each encounter with, though it's likely to appeal less to those who just want to hang out between story drops. With Pilgrim's Traverse – a roguelike-inspired, ever-changing multi-floor dungeon – Yoshida is trying to strike a balance by providing something for everyone.
