When you work, and they ask you to do two things at the same time, do you think you will be able to get them done as quickly and efficiently as another person tasked with only one of your chores? In this case the onus on proving it doesn't would be on the person with the two tasks, because its more likely that their performance will be affected by common sense alone.
To be honest this is probably the only stance I can sorta agree on with him spreading himself too thin between FFXIV and FFXVI. But it has absolutely nothing to do with the actual staff involved or the lack of manpower here. Like I said none of the actual developers transferred to XVI wouldve had an impact given the current state of content in FFXIV. Its only speculation.

The only person we can assume thats being affected is Yoshida himself as he is the director for both. But thats as far as Im willing to go with the speculation.
