Did Squenix get too ambitious, or why FF14 came out so poorly

[Seif]

I don't see ambition in the game all I see is a lot of workarounds to get content done in as cheaply as possible. All the quests work exactly like leves without any thought put into the storyline and the characters lack personality when they talk or move. Shantotto of XIV?

All I see is that player saw through this leve scheme and now they want SE to make a game within XIV for real without using all the cheap tricks.

This is exactly how I see it. Ambition doesn't even begin to fit.
