Nope we got the Abyssea add-ons in 2010 which were an expansion basically broken up into 3 parts and Seekers of Adoulin in 2012 and that was followed by Rhapsodies of Vana'diel which was also an expansion's worth of storyline though the amount of battle content is debatable. We're also starting another storyline but it seems to more of a placeholder until the 20th anniversary which they supposedly have big plans for. Were some of the funds from XI's profits used for other projects? Of course they were but it's hard to argue it had a real impact on development unless you had some seriously sour grapes which to be fair a lot of the XI playerbase did then and does to this day.

The simplification and streamlining of XIV since SB seems to be the direction the devs want for one reason or another and until it's proven that XVI's development has been negatively impacting (as opposed to a purposeful plan) XIV all this is speculation and trying to cause some manner of strife.
