Dawntrail, Final Fantasy XIV\u2019s <\/strong>fifth expansion, went live on July 2. In a message<\/a> to players published on the Lodestone on July 4, series director and producer Naoki Yoshida revealed that FFXIV hit its highest concurrent player count since the MMORPG\u2019s complete overhaul in 2013. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoshida expressed gratitude to players while apologizing for bugs that have been occurring. The team is currently working out fixes and will be making follow-up announcements. In addition, Yoshida mentions that the upcoming Patches 7.01 and 7.05 will include fixes and adjustments related to Jobs based on user feedback. A detailed description of specific changes to each Job can be found on the Lodestone<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While <\/strong>Final Fantasy XIV\u2019s Endwalker expansion had already broken existing records, leading to severe server congestion and a 160-180 percent spike in pre-orders, it seems the MMORPG\u2019s player base continues to grow significantly with each expansion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
