Is it time for yoshi to step down from ff14?

I don't think he needs replaced.

I DO however think he needs to seek input from outside of his local echo chamber. He has been caught flat footed on more than one issue where he said a design philosophy was one way only for his developers to completely contradict him and put something else in game.

That's either a lack of leadership, a lack of standardization, or a lack of communication.

He's also not very receptive to honest feedback and can come off as extremely dismissive.

By far his most defining moment in recent memory, bar his crying episode, was when he told healers to go play Ultimate rather than realizing the obvious flaws within that role's entire design in this game. Some other noteworthy moments include the infamous April 1st live letter with earless 2B Hrothgars that saw near-universal backlash after 2 years of stringing along the players of both limited races. His mystified response at learning players wanted the Meteor beard that's in the CGI and in-game benchmarks/story trailers was also quite telling.
