Instead of games, Yoshi-P looked at a Japanese variety show for inspiration.
), the idea for Island Sanctuary came from a very different source."The initial inspiration for Island Sanctuary was not actually a game, but rather from a segment in a TV show called The! Tetsuwan! DASH!!" Yoshida said."Basically, in this segment, the participants are tasked with developing facilities themselves on a deserted island that shows signs of having been inhabited in the past, using scrap wood, timber, and debris washed ashore.
As GamesRadar points out, a close Western equivalent of that would probably be the Survivor series, a show that's remained fairly popular in both the UK and the US. The two share a pretty similar concept—fend for yourselves on an island—though when Tetsuwan Dash originally premiered in 1995 the goal was more oriented around getting"Dash" put on a map, which Japanese boyband Tokio did by creating a village in Fukushima.
Island Sanctuary remains one of Final Fantasy 14's more unique activities in the MMORPG, and variety is something Yoshida thinks is vital in the genre."Ideally, the more types of content an MMORPG has to offer, the better," he said."Naturally, the most common requests are those for battle content, but if you were to ask if that alone is ideal for the development of an MMORPG, I think the answer is 'no.
The mode is still relatively new, only releasing in August 2022, with many already sitting on maxed-out island ranks and awaiting more. We've had some additions with the release ofon January 10. Two new island ranks and a new building have been introduced, along with new gathering modes and materials. There are also new recipes, animals and items to obtain along with some general quality-of-life adjustments.
It's still a fairly linear mode though, one which people wish had a little more freedom of personalisation. Yoshida says he has a few things in mind for how to make that happen."The very first thing would be the ability to place outdoor furnishings in the Island Sanctuary, he said.
