If they failed at adding any meaningful comment, it doesn't mean advanced character creation it's a dead end. It just means they failed at content/game mechanics, SE managed to do that with FFXIV as well - without an advanced char system. (And they think they failed as well, they wouldn't try to change half of the game otherwise)

SE has enough resources to do this right.
And no one is screaming "SE DO THIS NAO!!!!".
