Yoshida responds to achievement hunting Final Fantasy 14 player

Final Fantasy XI is still going after 21 years, though in a version of maintenance mode that still includes monthly refreshes and occasional special new content. Some of that new content is on the way, including a crossover Alliance raid with Final Fantasy XIV ’s Dawntrail expansion.

Crytek's Hunt: Showdown may yet receive a single-player campaign, if the stars align, as the developers dig ever deeper into the asymmetrical multiplayer shooter's wonderfully plague-ridden narrative backdrop. Originally released out of Steam and Xbox early access in 2019, the game introduced single player PvE trials back in June 2020, much to Alice0's enthusiasm. It also now sports a scripted, voiced tutorial in which you stalk around farmhouses, learning the ropes and murdering wooden dummies at the behest of a leathery dude in the bushes. Could some kind of proper story component follow? Crytek have certainly thought about it.

Over the weekend, during Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival in London, the MMO's director Naoki Yoshida said he'd like to make an MMO as chaotic as Ultima Online, but it would have to be outside of FFXIV.

Final Fantasy 14's producer and director, Naoki Yoshida (known within the MMO's community as Yoshi-P), was moved to tears after receiving some wholesome words from the founding father of the series.

During the recent Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival in London, producer Naoki Yoshida unveiled the first of the two new Jobs coming to the game in its upcoming expansion, Dawntrail. The Job, named Viper, will be melee DPS, and can be seen in action in a new video below.

Final Fantasy XIV’s achievements are no joke, as proved by the 10 years it took the first player to earn every achievement in the MMO. But director and producer Naoki Yoshida is up for making even more difficult achievements, if the achievement-hunting pro is game for the challenge.

So, if you haven’t heard, some big things are going down in Final Fantasy XIV. Not only is a new expansion coming that will help start a new story and give players even more things to do, but a new collaboration will make Square Enix fans happy. Specifically, a collaboration with the most recent entry from the beloved RPG series will happen as Clive Rosfield arrives in the game and joins the Warriors of Light! Even more specifically, there’s a questline that is called “The Path Infernal,” and it’s there that you can meet Clive and battle monsters that appear to be like Eikons. You can watch the reveal trailer for that below.

Final Fantasy 14’s was hilariously griefed in-game by none other than the series’ creator himself. 

Final Fantasy's founding father, Hironobu Sakaguchi, is a proud FF14 devotee, and that's precisely why he doesn't want to work on any content for the critically acclaimed MMO. 

Final Fantasy series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi has discussed what makes a game a Final Fantasy game, noting it's all about the development team taking on new challenges.

A few months back, one esteemed Final Fantasy 14 player obtained all of the 2,751 then-earnable achievements for the first time ever. That's 10 years for someone to nab every single accomplishment, with one achievement alone time-gated to around seven years of hard work.
