Final Fantasy XIV is facing a noticeable decline in active players following the release of patch 7.25. Unofficial stats show a drop from 990,000 to about 950,000 active characters since the Dawntrail expansion in June 2024. New character creation has also taken a hit, falling from 59,000 to 50,000. While patch 7.2 has received some praise, it's not enough to keep players engaged, raising concerns about the game's future if these trends continue.
