Final Fantasy 11 Director Says Your Support Convinced Square Enix It 'Should Keep Running the Game'

The finality of Square Enix's decision to halt development on *Final Fantasy 11* hangs in part on whether the game would have faded without a resurgence tied to its 20th-anniversary celebrations. Yoji Fujito suggested that if such support had waned, the project might have been abandoned or shifted into maintenance mode after the anniversary. However, the unexpected return of players even as The Voracious Resurgence concluded rekindled life in the game, prompting Fujito to reconsider and commit to its continued development.
