I mean they're coming back obviously, but we can definitely feel how it's impacted the evolution of XIV these past 4 years. Or the lack of it.

Part of my fear stems from them even being okay with this, because if this is a thing that they just do, then what's to stop them from continuing to work on other main-lines or larger side projects while neglecting XIV and just giving us the B team for the next 10 years.
Yeah because of that game feel pretty bare currently which I would say it was not a smart decision to have the dev team work on two projects by putting XIV in "maintenance mode". This does not help address the core issue that affects the game on top of that it tells square that it ok to keep this type of development is ok which I say it not because like you said for their "Ten Year" plan we could be only getting a skeleton crew instead of patch coming out to the recent for months to now we have to wait five, six or seven months just to receive some content.
