Seeing Square Enix in a new light. I am grateful for this game.

Honestly while I love the development team for this game, that same consideration doesn't extend towards the publisher. There's mismanagement aplenty at SE and one need look no further than the development debacle that was FFXV's ten year development cycle (the last two of which were spent scrambling to make a game after dumping eight years of work no less) and the original Tomb Raider reboot. All with a handful of games in between such as Hitman that suffered from nearly the same bloat and issues in spite of being decent games in the end. You can very much like a game and it's developer while holding irritation and issues with the publisher; and while SE isn't nearly as bad as EA or lord forbid Warner Bros and what they did to LoTRO that doesn't mean they're somehow a bastion of good intentions. Nor does it mean people can't take issue with the directions they're taken some of their favorite titles. They're a company, pure and simple. They want your money and while they understand how to keep their customers happier than most in the MMO scene that doesn't make them infallible or necessarily on 'your side'.

They didn't dump eight years of dev time on FFXV, work never really started on it, it was pretty much just a concept in Nomura's mind which made me very critical of him an anything he touches especially when I took into consideration KH and how they were unable to create a good gameplay after KH2

It actually got much further than a concept. Nomura was mainly the chief reason the game stopped and restarted yes, but with several engine changes and then outright scrapping of materials I think it's a touch of an understatement to say that work never got started. I'll definitely agree with your assessment of KH however... The handling of that entire franchise is horrendous and I'm long past the point of legitimately caring about a resolution.

That entry states that the game never really took shape though, true you have to believe Tabata's word for it

Granted i have only played Tera for a few months but i do not see the SO Awful or crappy that you are stating @ Mizunoko
We are also talking about something that was just ported over and one that was basically made for both console (PS3 at the time and now PS4) and PC. And seen much optimizations.
Stormblood actually had a good amount of work done with PS4 (and PS4 Pro in mind) so compairing the 2 games when they should not be.
