My issue is less with the dev team and more with the fact that this game seems to get little to no support from Square compared to games like KH 3 and XV both that despite being financial successes, had varying degrees of quality in their completion and had DLC planned for them to fix glaring issues of incompleteness or confusion with the story. Square should be allocating more resources and staff to this game outside of the fan festival, I know people are going to cite nomura working on Eden or the other guest collaborators as examples but, still those aren't new core additions to the staff at hand.

There are also other glaring issues with XIV's core code and backend problems that just have not been addressed despite us again going through 2 expansions.

Besides that the rest of your post is anecdotal and just sort of shows you haven't really read many of the responses in this thread.
