"Q: The epilogue showed the results of whether players had chosen Anogg or Konogg, and results showed that Anogg had won across all Worlds. Would the ending have been different if Konogg had won?
YOKO TARO: I’m generally not very fond of talking about the lore or scenario. Today, I’ve told the FFXIV team that I won’t be answering any lore-related questions. However, the voting results themselves aren’t part of the lore, so I’d like to share my thoughts on the results instead.
At the time, when Mr. Yoshida and I were discussing how the story would progress, one of our plans was to change the story based on the percentages of the voting results. So when I saw the results, I thought that the FFXIV team decided to be lazy and manipulated the data so they’d only have to create one ending. (laughs)
Q: What would've happened to the world if the False Idol had defeated the Warrior of Light?
YOKO TARO: Perhaps the False Idol would’ve sided with the Warrior of Light and accompanied them on an exciting adventure! (laughs) If we’d talked with them, they might’ve turned out to be quite the likable character.
Saito: It might’ve brought about an ending where the Data Center explodes.
Yoshida: That could’ve been the case.
YOKO TARO: In any case, I thought this was a thought-provoking question.
The final boss of a game exists to be defeated and the game data doesn’t have an ending where the last boss is victorious, so in that sense, the protagonist will never lose.
The final boss in any game, not just FFXIV, is an entity that can be eventually defeated. Because of how the story is supposed to turn out, even if the player loses, they’re still guaranteed to win in the end. There isn’t an ending where the final boss wins, and the future is already fixated on the limited possibility that the protagonist will triumph, which I thought was very cruel.
Yoshida: So what you’re saying is, while we can imagine what could’ve happened if the final boss won, it’s actually not something that can happen.
YOKO TARO: Whereas freedom is sought after in modern games, the fact that they aren’t allowed to end with the final boss claiming victory is quite profound."
