Please explain this difference. 90 <> 512

I have worked in IT development for 3 decades, you don't cut functionality by 80% vs planned unless there is/was a significant issue.

My guess is it's a change in vision, instead of technical issues.

The original vision sounded like a separate ward, that functioned like the door to private chambers inside a FC house. Tiny zone, 512 people sharing one MB, one chocobo stable, and one summoning bell.

The new vision sounds like it's there to spread out people in the existing housing wards, making them a little more relevant.
