I think one of the interview one of them said the game not ready and we need more time but i think CEO just did not listen to there request i think the CEO is what making SE have such a bad track record that and and when einix join Square.
I think you missed his point. FF11 could afford the mistakes in their first year because it was one of the few MMORPGs available to play. Right now, FFXIV cannot afford to be in the state it is in much longer, and SE decided to take up a new MMORPG in order to make more profit off of that, perhaps using a different title than Final Fantasy because of the reputation the FF games have been given recently.

FFXIV has more competition right now as FFXI didn't, that's what he meant.
