Most fans of Square Enix’s long-running MMORPG will insist that the Endwalker expansion is brilliant, but staggeringly long server queues made playing it at launch an arduous task. It was an understandably frustrating time for everyone, one that had the development team turning backup production machines into lobby servers. Yoshida told GLHF that he understands why many fans were upset but isn’t keen on vitriol.
