I also think this is why it seems he comes out as lying when he says they can't do something but then a year or so later it gets done. Could be possible at that time they didn't have the money/resources to. It's all murky really.
If anything, i'm willing to bet that Yoshi-P has stood between FFXIV and the SE executives more than once to prevent even worse outcomes. I trust SE about as much as they moderate this forum, but Yoshi-P at least, I've seen him talk, how he cares about the game, and I'm more willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. If/When he leaves for good, I think people will quickly start to wish for the good ol' days.
