How many dedicated employees work on FF 14?

I don't think they will reduce staff until after PS3 release and the start of the subscription fee, so perhaps after June 2012? I think June 2012 is dependent on whether or not they redo all of the zones, if not; they can probably do it a bit sooner. Hopefully in their pursuit of a strong mmo division, they will keep the team very strong beyond that point in the hopes of pumping out large amounts of content so that players are interested in the game.

I'm curious as to what they might do after a patch if they "redo the zones". For example. Player xyz is logged out in Thanalan, coordinate (xx,yy) but after the patch, this coordinate no longer exists because the entire map has been redone. Do they release a footnote saying "Oh by the way... We moved everyone's character to Ul'dah"? lol

ive seen this in another game (i cant remember which though but doesnt matter) and you were put in one of the cities.
I think that is the smallest problem

Sure, why not. Seems like a no-brainer solution to me.
