A summary of healer issues

Yoshi P has a lot of clout with Square, but it's not infinite. If it was, Dream Fitting wouldn't be in the game.

Dream Fitting wasn't forced into the game by the mogstation lady.

The community was asking for a way to preview outfits on their ingame character because more often than not you buy a mogstation outfit only to find out that it looks god awful on your character or dyes terribly.

IMHO it goes deeper than that. FFXIV 1.0 outsourced significant amounts of world design to an unnamed Chinese studio, needless to say, that's not a route I can imagine SE going down again

They've been outsourcing armor designs, environment assets, monsters and weapons to Lemon Sky Studios for Heavensward, Stormblood and Shadowbringers (not sure about Endwalker) so it's actually not only likely, it already happened.

That's true, I completely forgot about the mog station stuff in particular being heavily outsourced. Didn't know monster assets were though, good to know and it's great that SE haven't shut down that route after getting burned in the past.

What about asking a question about that in a future Q&A?

"With each expansion increasing the total number of jobs available, this also means it becomes more time-consuming to not only manage the balance between jobs, but also ensure they're all fun and enjoyable. How does your team manage this steadily increasing work load, and are there any plans to expand the team responsible for job adjustments to ensure every job gets the right amount of attention?"

Great question IMO. I like it.
