What is going on with Square Enix and the 14 team?

Maybe post something positive once in awhile and many of us might take you seriously. As it stands right now it's pretty easy to know what a Kizuya thread and post will be about. You might think you're fooling everyone but you're not.

So... what? We need to kiss a little bit of dev ass before we're allowed to post criticism? Gotta say your Hail Marys first? You people are insufferable, if there's issues we're going to TALK ABOUT THEM, and as they get larger and genuinely ruin people's gameplay experience like the housing situation we can't be wasting our breath trying to soften the blow. Especially not when the devs have only been getting worse and worse about not listening to us, to the point where it almost seems they're proud of the fact. Or what, are you trying to accuse Kizuya of being a rabid hater who doesn't actually play the game? Because it should be obvious by the content of his threads that he's not, and his input has been very much valid and appreciated by a lot of us. Threads like these are NECESSARY so people who also feel the game is headed in a negative direction can find others they agree with and offer their own viewpoints on it. And yes, this CAN and SHOULD be done across numerous threads covering different topics.

"Try saying something positive about the game!" = draw focus away from the issues
"Don't make so many threads, the devs only look at the longer threads!" = make criticism look localized into a single minority
"Stop derailing these threads talking about other things like the story!" = if you have a long thread happening, don't actually use it
