FF16 stealing dev time from FF14

Wikipedia is misleading.

Nice troll tho.

They were FFXIV (14) developers who worked on Heavensward for Division 5.

Then just call them BD5. Saying they're BD3 just causes confusion.

I agree it's confusing, but it's what happened.

I do call them Division 5 (in my last post about it on an earlier page of this thread) but it seems as if Division 5 was dissolved into 3 in the restructuring Square Enix underwent after posting a ton of losses in 2019.

Clearly a troll thread but to give a serious answer; simply no.

This thread is now about Lalafells.
Discuss.

Lalafells are just the best thing ever.
Why do you all play the potato?

I play it because moving with it feels faster.
It is also easier to get into a very small save space inbetween 2 aoes.

And I have so many more reason.

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.

I would like to very well believe that it is a different team of course. But with all the issues 5.X has brought currently, you can't help but feel that there is something up. Also, don't forget that HW expansion they actually borrowed people from different division to work on it.
What makes you think SQEX won't do it here? Unless of course you have the evidence to back it up.
Look, before you go judgmental on people remember this, we all love FFXIV and we want the best for it for many years to come else nobody would bother to take the effort to even post here.
If you still don't believe me that content & features has been dropping the past few years, take a look at 3.1 - 5.3 trailer, i'm sure the video can speak many words.

Tsalmaveth doesn't have to do any of that. They aren't the one making a claim. The burden of proof lies squarely on the people suggesting that XVI's development is siphoning resources from XIV. And so far there hasn't any single credible proof of this. An obvious troll thread and anger towards dev choices aren't convincing.

[Amnmaat]

If they did indeed hire a sizable amount of devs for XVI, this brings into question why Yoshida acts like they can't find talented people to expand the XIV dev team?
As we all know, they are struggling to keep up with the game. Dancer/Gunbreaker weapons, no Viera/hrothgar hair/hats/helmet, 1 dungeon per patch, no relic quests until a year later, etc. So what is Square enix really up to? Are they taking the 1.0-A Realm Reborn lessons for granted?
