I think, the Mindset behind it is, that the whole Game needs a restart by force if the Devs do refuse to break free from their Formula in any way.
I have to admit, I mostly stay for the Music and the Art, but the Game got stale a long time ago.
The Artists and Composers do a great Job and really try to give us great Songs and Artwork.
But then we have the Devs, captured in the same Formula for Years now and the most of them start to lose every love for the Game over time, by doing the same things over and over and over again.
They are like a Band, playing the same few Songs on every Stage for Years now.
No matter how much you love your Songs, you start to feel empty if you play those 6-7 Songs 5 Times a week for Years, with no end in sight.
I really love Movies like Blade Runner or Animes like Jojo's. But if I would have to rewatch Blade Runner every day or watch the same Season of Jojo's every day, I would get bored and even annoyed, but the things I love.
This is also one of the reasons, why people want Yoshi to be replaced.
He changed the Game into something he liked and it worked, but now, they Game is in this state for Years, with no signs of a change.
And people start to think, that things do not get done, because Yoshi dislikes those Ideas.
Nobody can say if this is true or not. But people know, that the Housing Problems have their Roots in Yoshis View in Housing and how he does not think, that Housing is something important in a MMO-RPG.
I remember how somebody told me about FF11 and how they handled stuff.
Make something new:
If it fails: Scrap the Idea
If it is a success: Make more of it later.
People disliked the Diadem and instead of scraping the Idea or make radical changes, we only got more of the things, people disliked.
And Eureka is just another Diadem and people dislike it, and we still get more of it.
A Part of the people liked the Palace and they got another one with SB and this was okay.
It was a Piece of the Content, but Eureka dominates a huge Part of the Content at the moment, despite that around 1/3 of the Community does not play it, or completely stopped playing FF14 because of it coming back again and again.
