FF16 stealing dev time from FF14

[Hycinthus]

Aren’t FF14 players the same target players for FF16? Maybe we should start a poll on how many % of FF14 players will play FF16. If it’s like over 80% then technically it’s not really stealing time but redistributing time.

But if majority don’t want to play, then it could be stolen time I guess.

Don't forget it's a numbered title. It is catered for a wider audience not just players who played FF14.

Its a separate development team. Pretty sure the only people borrowed were a few story writers, Yoshi P and Soken.

This is actually being optimistic. But let's look back prior to launch of SHB on why the art team has to make 300 hats/helmets behind yoshi-p back as if it's like their last ditch effort to fix something before going silent for over a year now. Anyone who is in development pipeline will know that something is up here.

The sad thing is even if this is a troll account, this won't be the end of foolish assumptions like this one. The damage is already in certain minds that even glance over the thread.

Why is it a foolish assumption though? I thought it was pretty appearant that Shadowbringers seems more like a budget expansion compared to previous ones.

Also, isn't creative business unit 3 the FFXIV crew?

You can tell just from that trailer honestly, the animations/aesthetic and even the damn font they used.

Personally thought they were working on the next FF MMO and thus cutting on FFXIV. Seeing FFXVI reveal though it all makes sense. And personally I'm not even mad, I'd actually love a full single player story from FFXIV crew considering what they can achieve with storytelling in a rigid MMO formula.

Edit:
From Square Enix Wiki page:

Creative Business Unit III is led by Naoki Yoshida who was the head of Business Division 5 and focused primarily on MMORPGs, transitioning in 2020 to the single player Final Fantasy XVI. It mainly comprises the former Business Division 5 (Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy XIV, Dragon Quest Builders series).

I know right. People just don't get it they think that LUL new game must be handled by new team or they probably hire more people.
Before the reveal of FF16 I was wondering why they are withholding informations on e.g. like the new race gender which has garnered over 1000 comments. After the reveal of FF16 I more or less can fit the pieces on why such "creative" "design" choices were made.
I mean "let's create 2 new jobs and not have primal weapons made for them. Yeah I think that's a good design choice." seems to not ring any alarm to people. How about viera and hrothgar players every patch they have to keep asking is this hairstyle available for us? Is the hat/helm available for us?

See that's where you're wrong!

I don't even ask anymore

I would recognise that handsome Hyur anywhere. Titanmen, you are such a hot man.

The day one of these threads gets posted without someone taking the bait would be a day indeed.

The part when they showed the kids and the dog, and the clothes, that was soo FF14 art style , even almost Ivalice-like, and same animation.
