Final Fantasy 14's producer and director, Naoki Yoshida, hinted at the possibility of introducing more difficult achievements for a dedicated player of the immensely popular MMORPG. As the fourteenth installment of the renowned RPG franchise, Final Fantasy 14 has retained its popularity over time and continues to receive new expansions. The most recent expansion announced by Square Enix is called Dawntrail, which also includes an expansion of the MMORPG's well-received free trial. Now, Yoshi-P, as Yoshida is affectionately called by fans, is acknowledging the commitment of one of the game's most devoted players.
During the recent Final Fantasy 14 Fan Fest held in London, exciting news about the game's upcoming expansion was unveiled for franchise enthusiasts. Square Enix teased the inclusion of three new classes in the Dawntrail expansion, with one being a melee-based class called the Viper, while the details of the other two classes remain undisclosed. The keynote speech also provided additional information regarding an upcoming collaboration between Final Fantasy 16 and Final Fantasy 14, as well as the announcement of a crossover event with Final Fantasy 11, another MMORPG in the Final Fantasy series. Yoshi-P also took the opportunity to commemorate a specific player of Final Fantasy 14 and present them with a new challenge.
During the London Fan Fest press conference, Yoshida expressed his appreciation for a dedicated Japanese player who had successfully achieved all 2,751 accomplishments in Final Fantasy 14. Yoshi-P extended his congratulations to the player and hinted at the inclusion of additional achievements in future expansions, promising more content for players. Furthermore, he entertained the possibility of introducing even more challenging achievements if specifically requested by this particular player. Yoshida encouraged the player to reach out to the development team through Final Fantasy 14's forum, assuring that they would uphold their commitment.
The accomplishment achieved by an unnamed Japanese player in Final Fantasy 14 is no small feat. This player had to win countless battles in PVP modes, complete every dungeon in the game 20 times, and achieve non-combat goals such as catching every fish and completing every quest. Some fans estimate that this task would take up to seven years of real-world time due to the limited availability of repeatable side quests.
For those who enjoy chasing achievements in Final Fantasy 14, there is good news. The much-anticipated Final Fantasy 16 crossover is set to begin in the game's Patch 6.5 series. This update will introduce exciting new boss fights and a Torgal mount to enhance the MMORPG experience. Additionally, Yoshi-P, the game's producer, has confirmed that support for Final Fantasy 14 will continue for at least another 10 years. With multiple crossovers and the upcoming Dawntrail expansion, fans of Final Fantasy 14 can expect a wealth of thrilling content in the future.
Final Fantasy 14 is available now for PC, PS4, and PS5 with an Xbox Series X/S version launching in Spring 2024.
