Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail is now just a few weeks away, but after the server nightmare that accompanied the launch of Endwalker, there are fears that we might have a whole lot of long wait times for the new expansion. Producer and director Naoki 'Yoshi-P' Yoshida is confident that won't be the case.
"We know that after the peak has passed, we can usually expect 2,000 or 3,000 players on average," Yoshida says at a media event GamesRadar+ attended, addressing the heavy server loads that accompanied Endwalker back in 2021. "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."
