    That's got to be insanely expensive. My napkin math says "something north of $150,000,000/year in just people".
    Somewhere in a interview he said there about 900+ people working on FFXIV 2.0 and a skeleton crew working on 1.0 releasing all the patch and such. I remember reading that yoshi-p also took some people from FFXI to help with the battle system to see what they could do and such.

    I have a feeling that a big % of the people working on ffxiv only work one something for let's say 2week then went back to working on other stuff SE need. I don't think the 900 people where working every day making ffxiv 2.0 if that was then i think we would be by beta3 dont you think?

    I mean he did say there 900 people working but not sure if they was on for full time or just few parts and then left i guess we never know or maybe yoshi-p would give us that info.

    Well, if Square staffs their projects the way my studio does, people generally get assigned to something until it's done, or until something changes about the release schedule that suddenly makes one project more urgent than another. But you're right, it's hard to know what they're doing, exactly. For instance, they might have temporarily borrowed a large number of artists to ram through the weapons and armor, who have since gone back to Lightning Returns, or FFXV, or something.

    After the launch is where YoshiP will be more super busy guys, I don't see it in him to take a vacation since after the launch he need to make sure the game has more people joining in.

    IT has finally happened! I have been waiting for this day for a long time. Finally I can ask you this one question I have wanted to ask you but never felt was contextually relevant to do so (if only we had a PM system).

    But...um...hey where did it go? Forever you had this comic strip as your signature. Right? RIGHT??? I wasn't just dreaming it up, was I? I'm not crazy! I just wanted to know where you found it and if there was more.

    It was about a Straw Hat...and Merlwyb...and it had a pink background...maybe I was hallucinating...

    Oh -- I completely support this thread.

    I sincerely agree with this thread.
    Yoshi-P, no matter how successful the game turns out (and I say that with high hopes), know that your tireless efforts have been truly inspiring.

    He could but then he'd have to send in the Company Ninja to .....clean up.

    I also like how it Yoshi that always gets all the support, what about those 900 other guys what about there love.

    Sigh... such is the fate of the cubicle master, i suppose.

    Ah, you didn't hallucinate. I kicked it out of my signature yesterday actually. I drew it myself (the straw hat was a running gag in our ls) but I figured since nobody would understand (and the gag has died long ago) it must be absurd for everyone who looks at it...
    But yeah, self-made.


    Honestly, I don't think I'm awesome. :/ It's sad if this thread evokes the impression that I think so because that's not what I wanted to achieve with it.
    And as I said in the OP I know it might not be possible and it is reasonable that after the launch is still hell of work to do. Still, I'm a bit worried (maybe I'm too much into this burn-out psychology thing, bear with me, please. It's quite a big matter to me.).

    His reward will be all the praise he gets for successfully relaunching a mmo-- the first to do so in history.
