Well to be fair money goes in different avenues..its not all to dev. Them doing new data centers and worlds is money spent too, its just not going directly into content. They are always hiring they just seem to have a high standard that sort of kicks them in the foot at the same time granted I've heard they are a bit more lenient now on their criteria for recruitment. I can imagine the people in charge of the graphics overhaul take away from them making assets for current content when they can be upscaling or making new stuff for 7.0. Also 16 isn't just their team...you could go back to Yoshi Ps twitter message on like December 2021 where they said covid delayed assets or outright canceled asset delivery schedules from outsourced contractors...they have outside help more than just their team plus he is heavily scripted in his workflow so I'm sure he's micromanaging his team more efficiently then other studios. Heck he's done 2 expansions and content with 14 and made 16 in the same time its taken business division 1 to make FF7 remake part 1 and not even part 2... like that is nuts when you think about it.
