Then why did he publicly apologize about his involvement in FFXIV and resign his position.

Prior to that he pubicly announced he was going to work on FFXIV and that person who was lead battle designer would take over FFXI. That is the person who designed abyssea and later was tapped to go fix FFXIV.
