  • Another Final Fantasy XIV Failure Could ‘Destroy’ Square Enix Says Director

    Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn director Noaki Yoshida talking with Kotaku went raw and talked about how they would never make a mistake like Final Fantasy XIV ever again.

    We won’t make a mistake like FF14 again – if we did, it would be like at the level of destroying the company,

    Yoshida talked about how many of the Square Enix employees themselves were worried about the game’s launch in that state.

    When I heard that it was going to go on sale as planned, I thought, that will probably be a big mistake

    Yoshida also talked about how some of Final Fantasy XIV’s problems stemmed from its design approach. Square Enix’s most profitable Final Fantasy yet – Final Fantasy XI was initially designed to look like Everquest, but Final Fantasy XIV was made to be different and not be a competitor. Check out the full interview via the link above.
