Director Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida has all the time taken followers’ suggestions to coronary heart, proving time and time once more that Final Fantasy XIV has one of the vital lively improvement groups round. Following his current look on the FFXIV Fan Competition 2023, Yoshi-P has mentioned the sport’s upcoming enlargement and what he personally desires to see carried out as playable content material within the MMO.

Throughout a roundtable interview following the keynote presentation and Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail reveal at this 12 months’s Fan Fest, Yoshi-P revealed that the sport’s builders had been planning to combine playable mini-game variations of the Ultimate Fantasy Pixel Remaster assortment into FFXIV. He said that their consideration of such a characteristic had come up following the gathering’s launch. The director requested concerning the Remaster bundle, “wouldn’t or not it’s cool if we are able to play that within the Gold Saucer?”

Sadly, the devs by no means managed to discover a approach to correctly implement the mini-games, with Yoshi-P citing the brand new Remaster assortment being “middleware” as the first motive. “So as a result of it’s operating on middleware,” he stated, “you’d should construct one other system that may play again the middleware inside the sport.” Mainly, “it’s such as you’re constructing a system of a sport to play a system of a sport.”

Yoshi-P referred to it as “simply this bizarre configuration” when describing why it hadn’t labored. Thankfully for us Pixel Remaster followers, although, the builders haven’t but scrapped the thought. Within the interview, Yoshi-P joked {that a} “tremendous programmer” up for the duty might ship in an utility to Sq. Enix and the builders would gladly settle for it.
