I seriously doubt this is the case anymore. This statement came from an interview with Yoshi-P back when FFXIV was still in its 1.x stage. SE was working with an atrocious set of development tools, and models that were overly-complex for the time. In fact, part of the reason they scaled down the graphics quality in 2.0+ so badly was because of the lengthy development time for models of various sorts.

From my perspective, I just wish SE would say something. The deafening silence from the development team is a terrible look, and is just causing the Eureka-related unhappiness to fester. We shouldn't be having to guess as to why Eureka took so long to develop; we shouldn't be having to guess as to why on earth SE thought 'third time's the charm' for Diadem-style content. This is something they should be explaining to us, and generating a true dialogue about with the community. As I said in my previous post, we're a very understanding bunch; but nobody is going to stick around forever if they feel their opinion isn't even being heard.
