It seems bananas to me that Yoshi would realistically have time to oversee TWO separate MMO projects...

My secret hope is that the 2nd project is actually another rework of FFXIV optimized for PS5/PC. Since the "spaghetti code" of 1.0 is often cited as a reason why implementing new features is difficult. Of course, I wouldn't expect to see this released/implemented until 6.0 (2021 or 2022... lol).
