SE, the dev team needs some more resources.

So you dont know either, heh.
You could at least bother reading some live letters and articles from Yoshi P. The one guy who worked on Chocobo races went to raiding, so we won't get any updates on that for a long time, if ever. They did head slots for Viera and Hrothgars while overworking, when they could switch that to another team. The bigger project - the more people need to handle it, that's common logic.

Yup, the issues he raised all ultimately resolve to resources. He stated they cannot be simply solved by throwing more money or people at them but a lot of people are misconstruing that to mean that they don't amount to problems of that nature. Perhaps the translated statement was not worded too well, but those things he highlighted in section 1 are ultimately resource issues.

People either are not understanding what he is saying or are being disingenuous in using "This is a complex problem that can’t be solved simply by throwing more money or people at it, as it impacts both debugging and QA" to try infer that it is not a resource problem in its nature.

Ultimately as a consumer I am interested in the end product and not so much the excuses on why they can't do X, Y or Z, which I can't really verify. At the moment, I am enjoying the game but there are plenty of aspects to it that are less than ideal and in time those may lead me to re-evaluate if the game is worth my time, if they are not resolved.

In particular, lack of progress in regards to high res textures being the key issue for me.
