What you seem to be forgetting is that FF15 came out after 10 years of work or so?

In the process of developing FF16 there's been a pandemic, and many other problems. FF16's concept work started back in 2015. This is only going to be year 8 of their work on it, and they're already trying to release it this June.

So yes, I can see why this could be hurting FF14. They're trying to rush a major title. I wonder, I wonder, where could they have gotten the resources to rush it from, especially considering the previous major title took 10 years of development?
