It just weirds me out when compared to other MMOs that most MMOs would try to make sure older content is completed and within a good timely manner, but the FFXIV devs. either take way too long to address issues or not at all. If I needed a example of something is wrong with this picture was the deal with the currently not unlocked ranks in the Grand Companies, they had years to get this finished up but instead they chased after the flash and spectacle.

Is it really Yoshi P and his gang calling the shots, and is there people over them making these calls or is it the problems listed above?

I feel like they're not telling us something because things are not adding up.
This concerns me too. The player-base did increase since shadowbringers, but we are moving very very slowly and whenever we get something we asked for we get it half-done or rushed. Or…completely out of the blue dropped in the story with no past references.

They might have a budget issue but with so many players Id think they could also have the means to improve the game?

The only thing I can think about is that they use sub money to pay for their other upcoming games.

I thought Yoshi wanted to leave somewhen before shadowbringers or endwalker iirc so it could easily be that this is just not his main focus anymore and can’t split himself in two places at once.
