Can Devs reconsider body checks in large raids seriously?

Maybe Yoshi needs to take a break and let someone else take the reins. Dude has been out of touch for way too many years.

He has already done this, since they released 6.0, he has not been at the helm and letting his team make decisions and he gets a review in his weekly / monthly report meeting. They have already said that they have been making too many decisions based upon what they did in the past and not consulting Yoshi. Yoshi has been working on Tactics and two additional games since then, along with most of his senior devs. As such, we have a lot of new or recently promoted devs running the game. This is why it feels like they have forgotten what they learned back in 1.x and 2.x as there has been a brain drain since the senior devs went to other games.

Subscriptions have been hemorrhaging, and the board / president have recognized that the lack of Yoshi is taking its toll, but they have shown no indication that they will release him from the other projects to address the issues in XIV. At this point, we have to accept that the game is what it is and SE has made their decision. We either A) keep playing and accept what we have, B) patch log and show up only for a few days or C) retire from the game.

I won't blame Yoshi for any of the issues in XIV since 6.0 because he is producer and director in title only, he isn't working on this game anymore as the president and board have assigned him elsewhere. The board and president know if they formally take his name off the game, it will explode and their main revenue source for the company will go down in flames.

The blame for the current state of the game is on upper management and the inexperience of the new devs running XIV, not on Yoshi.
