Unofficial Survey Suggests Decline in Final Fantasy XIV's Dawntrail Player Numbers
Recent census data reveals a likely decrease in players for Final Fantasy XIV, indicating concerns about content engagement since the release of Dawntrail.
In a recent census held by LuckyBancho, unofficial player statistics for Final Fantasy XIV have revealed a potential decline in the game’s player base following the Dawntrail expansion. This trend is concerning for fans and players who have noted a lack of engagement in the game since its latest content updates.
Overview of the Findings
The survey estimates that active characters in Dawntrail have dropped to around 950,000, which is a decrease from 990,000 recorded earlier. These findings point to a stagnation in player engagement, especially in light of various patches and updates that have introduced new content.
