The world has been plunged into darkness, where the sinister Talazar’s demonic forces plague the lands and prey on mortals and creatures alike. Not only does he have big plans for the future of XIV – which he plans to keep going as long as possible, but he also “occasionally” thinks about making one more MMO from scratch.Ashen Empires is a free-to-play classic Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) set in the fantasy world of Dransik. It seems that Yoshi-P won’t be taking any significant breaks any time soon.
In this case, Yoshi-P could maybe take some of his own advice. As he tells Inverse, he thinks the solution is to “keep examining the issue and meticulously improve management methods.” One of these improvements is apparently to make people take breaks in order to avoid burnout. Yoshi-P believes that changes in this area need to be made for the industry's survival. Things are slowly improving, but there’s a lot that still needs to be done. The games industry doesn’t exactly have the best track record for how it deals with its workers. Tech aside, games are still made by people, and Yoshi-P addresses that as well. That said, quantum computing is something he feels will have a serious impact on game development over the next decade or so. As it is now, he feels it will be delayed several years.
He also believes we’ll see big changes in the MMORPG genre, and that we likely would have seen some by now if the pandemic and other issues hadn’t caused a tech shortage. The big difference is whether they’re single or multiplayer. As he points out, most games today have some online element. We won’t post the entire thing here, you can head to their site to read it in full, but there were some interesting takeaways from the interview.įirst, Yoshi-P believes that as gaming continues to evolve, what we think of as “online gaming” will go away. Recently, he sat down to talk with Inverse about the franchise and his thoughts on gaming in general. As the man known for resurrecting Final Fantasy XIV and somehow still being humble enough to be as open and honest with the players as possible, he’s someone a lot of people look forward to for insight into the gaming industry, particularly the future of the thirty-plus-year-old Final Fantasy series.Ĭurrently, in addition to working on XIV, he’s also at the helm of the series’ next single-player installment Final Fantasy XVI. When it comes to famous game developers, few (especially these days) are as beloved as Square Enix’s Yoshi-P.
