Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail is finally here, but to the surprise of no one, it has launched with a few issues - luckily producer Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida has promised some fixes.

When I say "new MMO expansion launch" you say "day one issues!" Yes, Dawntrail, the latest expansion for the hit MMO Final Fantasy 14 is here, and like many expansions before it, it has arrived with some notable issues. While it seems like it has managed to escape Endwalker's server issues at launch, Yoshi-P has outlined some of the problems the game is currently facing in a recent post, alongside plans for fixes. "Firstly, I would like to thank everyone who has been playing Dawntrail since the start of early access," writes Yoshi-P. "However, I would like to offer my sincere apologies regarding the issues that we have identified and listed below. Please let me explain the status of the investigation behind their causes and the measures we plan to take to address them."

First off, the producer addresses an issue in the Xbox version where the game becomes unresponsive when transitioning between areas. "Our preliminary investigation suggests that this issue is likely due to a phenomenon known as memory fragmentation", he explains. "We are currently conducting a comprehensive investigation into the matter, which we have prioritized to ensure a swift resolution. However, rectifying this issue requires the deployment of a patch to update the client. This process involves rigorous checks by our QA team, among other procedures, which means it may take several days to address.
