Different team or not doesn't matter. If the company doesn't look at it's own past games and analyze them for their strengths and weaknesses then they are failing to grow as a company. It's not a very good excuse.

Besides, they did learn. They, in interviews, cited some of the FFXI issues as reasons for doing Fates as opposed to NMs. It's more like at some point someone said "well, was it really that bad?" and for some reason they listened.
