This isn't working.
While I agree with you that FFXIV is in a pretty bad spot right now, I wouldn't blame Yoshi-P directly. His hands are full with FF16 as well as being a member of the Board of Directors for Square Enix. We can clearly see that FFXIV is on a shoestring budget with a dev team the size of an indie company. They've likely simplified things for budgetary purposes and to make balancing easier on the small handful of devs that they have, not for Yoshi-P's tastes. Same for Island Sanctuary; it was well-polished but obviously there's not much they can add without it taking a whole patch worth of resources. And that's fine; not all companies are like Blizzard. Maybe after FF16 comes out, Square Enix will have money and resources for this game or the next MMO.
