Square has made this mistake before Vision VS Profit, with the Spirit within which I think caused there fall thus causing the merge, lets hope they don't drag Enix with them this time. If they do who should they merge with this time.
You say that (and that's easy to say) but give me evidence of Yoshida making the game profitable.

Compare and contrast Yoshida's last list to the one I provided. Which one sounds better to you?

Tanaka, Dec 2010 vs Yoshida, Feb 2011

Notice I had to go back to February just to find Yoshida's because it was 5 Letters ago (3 mo ago).
Notice everything in Tanaka's letter would have been done by February (March at the latest) if he'd stayed on.

So all Yoshida's done is work on this battle system, then the battle system better be pretty good - because if it's just XI and/or WoW's battle system slapped together and thrown into XIV, I imagine "shareholders" aren't going to be too happy about that, either.

PS - and by shareholders I mean me.
