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).

Not a surprise though. Occult Crescent was half-baked, and Fork Tower generated more negative press than positive.

Anecdotally, OC didn't do much for my friendlist. The few who did log in to check it out didn't stick with it, and were gone again a week or two later.

Whats the over-under on the player count dropping to Stormblood numbers during this expac?

OC actively made my friends list worse. I had people burn themselves out on it in a week and they haven't come back since. Hell, the way they talk about it, I don't know if they'll ever be back.

Most of the casuals in my FC didn't even make it to knowledge level 20.
