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

[Theodric]

I can handle bad experiments, I can handle bad launch day mechanics and elements like Eureka or housing

I CANT handle tone deafness of job design, job balance, and reduction of design for the sake of “ohh accessibility” more so if they don’t say anything about it

By their own admission, they mostly look at Twitter and Reddit for feedback. Both, coincidentally, are places that rarely discuss the game itself as a game and more so treat it like a visual novel. It probably goes a long way towards explaining many developer decisions.
