At this point i’m starting to believe the factor here really is Yoshi P just being more invested in FF16 and just kind of done with this game. The laughter at Hroth players was essentially the nail in the coffin.
Billion yen, maybe.
That said them charging 40 bucks for a whale mount should've been more than enough to hire one or two full-time devs considering the average dev gets paid aproximately half that hourly in Japan. A little more or a little less depending on position and benefits.

Which is part of my issue. I know people who fanta 5-6 times a month. This isn't a money issue. It never was a money issue. It isn't even a code issue because, again, this is client side nonsense.

This is "we decided to ignore the problem". This is what caused 1.0's developmemt hell. All problems could be fixed later. All features can be added later. All bugs, graphical issues and glitches would be fixed later.

It's concerning because it isn't just hair. Housing, PVP, instances/dungeons. Everything will be fixed later. Everything will be ironed out later.

I played 1.0. I quite literally abandoned my account because of how bad it was but when I saw the effort put into ARR I decided it was worth returning even if it meant buying it again. What I'm seeing is similar to what I saw back then.

Of course it isn't as bad because the game at least /functions/... for the time being.
