Final Fantasy 14 director Naoki Yoshida said younger players struggle to connect with the long-running RPG series due to extended development cycles between mainline releases compared to the 1990s and 2000s. Yoshida noted that while older fans enjoyed multiple Final Fantasy games across decades, current gamers have fewer entry points and may turn to other franchises like Pokémon instead.
