He's nothing but complimentary to FFXIV, and he's put "tens of thousands" of hours into it over the years. I wish I had that attention span. Sometimes people just want more time for things that aren't MMOs.

As someone who's eternally in and out of the door, though, I'm sure we all know he's going to be back for 7.0. He won't be able to resist once he spots a trailer.
Seems you didn't watch the whole video then. Around 7:30 he points out that FFXIV is a game that doesn't take risks and that it feels like a game designed purely to catch upset WoW players. Then the section around 11:10 where he points out that the community is insecure and rejects any attempts to improve or critique the game.

Then there's a whole 'nother video where he goes into detail on how Endwalker fell flat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXX4v0b0JrQ)
