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?
