“Yes, when it came to the previous Hydaelin and Zodiark saga, this was something that started before I took charge of project on Final Fantasy 14, and the saga did finish in Endwalker, but it’s with the new expansion that we’ve reached the level cap of 100 and so in that regard, I view 7.0 as a culmination … we’ve been able to carry out various preparations, and now have a stable state of things in the game.”, says Yoshi-P (Naoki Yoshida), according to PC Gamer.
And yes, he’s not wrong, Endwalker did actually improve the player experience, with tune-ups to dungeons and duties in the game’s introductory content, A Realm Reborn. And Dawntrail has also gone on adding a major graphics overhaul, which definitely was a lot of hard work.
