Translations (JP to English)

The chubby guy is in Yoshi-P's team? i didn't know that as he worked with Tanaka

He was with Tanaka, he was the Director for the old team.
Wasn't cool but JP players bashed him and Tanaka for the failure of the original FFXIV release.
So when YoshiP took over, there was one photo showing that he's still in YoshiP's team, and they bring him up time to time.

In fact he stepped down from Director to just Battle director, the same role he had in FFXI, so he wen't back into doing what he knows best.

No, Komoto became "Lead game designer" when the team was shuffled (and he was FFXI director). Akihiko Matsui entered the team as Lead Combat System Designer, which was also his role on FFXI (and he's now also FFXI producer)

Most of the old team is still in FFXIV lol they just have step down as main leaders for it but most of them still working on it.

I get the feeling that the shuffle was all about "cultural change" in the company, which you only get when you change most of the people hanging around the very top. To SE, this was all about changing their attitude to their playerbase and their game design process, not side-lining skill sets. And this gamble of Wada's seems to be paying off.
