FF 14 director jokes he moved expansion launch ‘to give players one week’ to finish Elden Ring’s DLC
Final Fantasy 14 director Naoki Yoshida has joked that he will give players one week to finish Elden Ring’s upcoming DLC before Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail is released.
I don't think he was joking. Yoshi-P probably wants to play it just as much as anyone else.
If I recall correctly, they had a Live Letter (scheduled FFXIV livestream with him and a few others) right after Tears of the King came out and he had his Switch with him when they were still setting up.
Considering how openly a fan of games Yoshi-P is, I could see it, but this is also a typical games industry move. Nobody wants to release in direct competition with a big name release, so releasing the beginning of the next month makes fiscal sense, too.
