Wild guessing, most resources would've sucked to those top priorities I mention earlier becoz there's much more risk on those franchise, especially since one of them tied with another big company.

No offense, FF11 still great game. In fact, IMO better than how FF14 goes currently. But I'm afraid demographic speaks for themselves. ^^;
The word on FFXI Mobile was that it was basically licensed and a different development company is actually doing all the work... Which means that nothing should be affected by SE resources.
My guess? They are having technical problems with the multiplayer aspects (particularly skillchains), AND converting the UI for small touchscreens, (how the heck were they planning to deal with macro palettes? Targeting? Healing? >_<;; ), AND confused on how to effectively monetize it without destroying what little "real" FFXI feel might have been successfully recreated already. It's gonna be extremely unfun, for me at least, if it feels like I'm forced into RMT (even though the seller is the company itself.)
