What does "generation shift" mean Fujito?

In the anni cast he suggested he was foremost focused on creating an environment where FFXI could be preserved for a long while to come. The suggestion I believe is that the game would not see any major updates or course changes going forward. They are going into time capsule mode.

As much as I want it to be like other posters here, the tone was certainly not one of passing the helm off to a new director for them to open a new chapter FFXI development.

Hope I am wrong but unlikely so.

I don't really think you can infer much of anything one way or the other from that. It is literally just a passing of the torch. It doesn't mean updates are suddenly going to stop nor does it mean there's some big huge thing coming.
