Yes you established most of this in your original post which eventually lead to you starting to talk about the game, people behind it (like Yoshi, and execs) and then finally the "limited job". Those are in your post (hidden below), I didn't pluck random stuff out of thin air.

I mean don't get me wrong if you wanted to just share your story that's absolutely fine, but you could share it without connecting it specifically to certain things about the game (although if it's not game discussion it's probably not the best forum but anyway...). Although you did mention about the new expac you are looking forward to/worried about which is ok, but as I said the rest of what you talked about I don't see how it connects to your condition.

Now to the reason I’m typing all of this. Yoshi P, I used to send links of you getting emotional about the rough launch of 2.0 to my online gaming friends that had never tried FFXIV or I felt did not give the game a good enough chance. I would tell them that here is a man that cares deeply about the game he is working on and does not give us a bunch of lawyer talk to address players. That I had heard of a story of you standing up for the players of your game against what you were being told by the executives of Square Enix. I do not know if that story is true but I could definitely imagine that it was. I was happy for you when I heard your hard work was being honored by you becoming an exec and that more trust was being placed in you.

I was very excited during the first day of the recent Fan Fest and a little bit worried about what “limited job” could mean. Then that excitement turned to disappointment when I heard what the concept actually is and you reasons for it. It made me feel that you were shying away from the challenge and that I had already seen the best work you’re capable of. Or worse yet, that you viewed this as a situation to take care of three requests from your players and boost subscription retention. That it was a decision made by an exec of the company and not the game director that I was telling my online friends about.
