Future direction of FFXIV

[Jeeqbit]

Idk about Yoshida. He knows what he is doing, but in the last few LL he has seemed burned out and like he doesn't really know what's going on in the game anymore. As if someone else is taking the wheel behind the scenes already.

Since you don't seem to be aware, Yoshi-P is well known for working himself hard and only getting 4 hours sleep. He's changed this recently, but on such little sleep and doing 66 interviews a day, his tired eyes were visible in live letters a lot.

In the media tour he did interviews all day and in one of them explained how he is constantly playing FFXIV, so it doesn't feel like work. The upcoming changes to jobs such as living dead changes, pvp and other quality of life changes in 6.1 reflect that they know a lot of what is going on in the game.

They may not have been able to satisfy everyone or do what you personally want but it's a jump to say "they don't know what's going on".
