This right here is the real elephant in the room in my opinion.

The game could be so much more if they actually put more of the monies it generates back into the game. It's the definition of stupidity for them to outright acknowledge that FFXIV is their most popular, reliable, product.... and then do the bare minimum to maintain it.

In fact, it's disappointing that they didn't make any attempt to future proof the game (financially) during Covid because the positive impact it had on gaming was never going to last indefinitely.
