Final Fantasy 14's Dawntrail expansion has now been and gone as fans are now settling into the next few years of post-expansion patches. With Crossroads coming out next month, and the way Dawntrail itself ended, some are wondering how much director Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P) has planned for the future, and whether the seeds of a much bigger story are already there. has been planted
In a recent interview with Korean news outlet GameInsight, Yoshi-P revealed that this is indeed the case. When asked how exactly he and his team had planned the overall story of Final Fantasy 14, Yoshi-P claimed that he had been planning this since the release of Heavensward and Stormblood, in the sense of ideas. It was a story. He had infiltrated Downtrill for a long time.
The story of Final Fantasy 14 is already planned until 10.0
Yoshi-P then explains that he and his team are “currently preparing three expansions” and this could potentially increase to 4. Yoshi-P even claims that he'd be willing to reorder Final Fantasy 14's story for the next twenty years if Square Enix would let him, claiming that he'd probably “die of excitement before I lose interest.”
“Since we worked on Heavensward and Stormblood, I've planned several story expansion releases. We already have ideas for major expansions leading up to version 10.0, and we're thinking about how those ideas will play out. “We are currently preparing three expansions and we could potentially plan up to four.”

Dear Square Enix, Please improve your Final Fantasy 14 friends list
I want the friends list to be extensive and allow us to add people even when they are offline.
It's so much time that it's hard to fit without having an existential crisis, so I choose to focus on the here and now instead. Fortunately, there are plenty of interesting things in the next few Final Fantasy 14 patches to distract us from the relentless march of time, such as the brutal Alliance Raids and Limited work Beastmaster.
We still don't know exactly when these things will be added to Final Fantasy 14, but we hope to hear more about them during next month's Live Letter on November 1st. We will cover it. As it happens, so if you can't check out the show itself, you know where to find all your updates.
