"Final Fantasy 14 Director Strives to Restore Challenge and Value to the MMO"
Final Fantasy 14's producer and director, Yoshi-P, is hesitant about implementing a new story skip feature to help new players catch up on the MMO's 10-year storyline, expressing concerns that it could diminish the game's value. While a story skip can currently be purchased for expansion content, Yoshi-P is wary of adding a free catch-up feature, as he believes the globally acclaimed storyline is integral to the game's growth. However, players are divided on the issue, with some acknowledging the daunting length of the story and others emphasizing the importance of experiencing the full narrative. Additionally, concerns about the evolving gameplay mechanics further complicate the decision.
