Maybe its Time for Fresh Blood

[WeissTuna]

What if this is the fresh blood?

What if all the talented devs have been pulled from 14 to work on the FFT remaster, or a not-yet-announced FF17 project?

If it's not the same people it would at least partially explain why they're making the same mistakes that they publicly apologized for 6 years ago.

This.

I have had this weird tin foil hat theory that Yoshida probably hasn't interacted with the game as a developer since the near end of Shadowbringers. They keep him around as a figurehead because "Who doesn't love Yoshi-P, amirite?". I could very well be wrong. As time has passed, this doesn't feel like the game I'd been playing since 2.x and I never really felt this kind of burnout hit until mid Endwalker. I took my breaks, did other things, and now find it extremely hard to even want to give this game my time. It's become what a lot of people been saying "safe". Which would make a lot of sense if these were new devs.
