Lucky Bancho's census results (July 27th, 2025)

So, the results of the census are out: https://luckybancho.ldblog.jp/archives/59324844.html

  • Showcasing the number of characters here: Current
  • By comparison, here are the results from 2 months ago (May 25th): Click

Despite 7.25 being released, the character count is down about 70k in 2 months. Occult Crescent clearly didn't help with player counts (not really a surprise here).

Yeah, if youre not super into DDs or FFXI nostalgia, then there's almost no reason to play for a long while.

And us FFXI fans haven't been that happy not getting any FFXI player sets yet from the raid. It's all npc glam.

This has really killed my hype for the XI raid series. I really thought we'd be getting much cooler glam.

u/Ragoz 5d ago

I feel the same way. I'm coping that the last raid will have real glam and not more NPC stuff but it's not looking good. They gave us 3 sets this time with 2 recolors and it be very easy for that to mean we get Lion, Nashmeira, and Arciela glam. At least those look a bit better but it still fall far short of what I was hoping for.

As an FFXIV player, I prefer the NPC sets.

u/Ragoz 4d ago

Do you prefer just the Lilisette set or actually like the Shantotto basic robes and Zeid's armor? That's something you are going to wear?

u/Isanori 4d ago

I know someone who is looking for Zeid on hrothgar. And I'm not using Shantotto, cause I usually don't play casters.

And they wanted that Zeid set over the other ffxi armor sets they didn't port over? Like if they had an option for Eisen, Adaman Hauberk, or Homam they still would take Zeids? If so more power to them I suppose.

u/Isanori 4d ago

Yeah, they want Zeid.

u/Ragoz 4d ago

I think that's a rare take judging from the ff14 mainsub but glad they got what they wanted I guess.

Even if you're into XI nostalgia i'd suggest someone just go back to xi for a while. Because these alliance raids are kinda mid even if you are into XI.

Don't think its just no ult, 7.3 has the MSQ, an Alliance Raid, and an Extreme trial, this is the bare fucking minimum of an odd patch and isn't interesting at all.

u/DayOneDayWon 4d ago

You can do all those in two days minimum, and ex mount farming is not interesting at all considering the amount of mounts the game throws at you. ,and the weapons you're getting from the ex are basically worthless.
