Congratulations on FF16 being a huge success

If that is really what is going on, they deserve every backlash against XIV they get here in the forums. Never treat something like that what made you in the first place in the modern age (and keeps them from bankruptcy or being bought).

They make bank off of 14 and tbf it's normal to use some of that profit to fund other projects. IMO I do think 14 has been neglected by 16 not just because of the lack of funds but due to both games being under the control of CBU3 and SE wasting tens of millions on obvious flops.

Yeah I think it's good that they can support their games as a whole, but not so fond of neglecting their flagship so to speak. It's maybe why this game is getting more casualized and the "go play other games" argument is a nice way to also tell people: "see this other Square Enix game, check it out". It is what it is?
