    I'm almost sure development was largely outsourced to China (there are many clues that suggest this). Tanaka probably had little hands-on say on the development process, soon found himself knee deep in excrement, threw his hands up in the air and said, "oh well, let's roll with it".

    We probably won't ever know the true and full story of FFXIV development because of how Japanese corporate society operates, however. Saving face is too important, so the truth mustn't ever come out. Just in case.
