Also, I'm more doomer and don't believe DT will have a 2nd ultimate. Even if it is ready for release, I could see them sitting on it and releasing in 8.1. I don't think they'd unironically have ultimate, OC/FT, and criterion all throughout .5.. doesn't sound like SE.
The problem is that the majority of SE's income is XIV, and it's tens to hundreds of thousands of active players every time Lucky Bancho's census updates. I think the numbers are now back to where they were in Stormblood, so all the gains they got in ShB and early EW are just gone.
