Prove he lied to us. Both XIV and XVI are in the CBU3 studio but they also have separate development teams. YoshiP acts as Producer for both games but that's an Executive level position, not a development position. While some XVI developers had worked on XIV HW, they were moved to XVI in Stormblood.

We do not know that they have been taking current XIV staff to work on XVI at the same time.

Also go back to comments that YoshiP had made during the digital FanFest and the EW media tour. We were told that post 6.0 was going to feel weird because it was going to be different from the post-MSQ patch series we've had since HW as they prep for changes coming in 7.0. As the player character, we'd be coming off the high of being the WoL that just saved Etheirys and picking the mantle of common adventurer for a while. The post MSQ content was intended to reflect that.

Break down the content releases for patches 5.0 to 5.35 and 6.0 to 6.35. There were things we got in Shadowbringers that we didn't get in Endwalker (mainly Bozja, Firmament and a separate story for the trial series instead of the trials being part of MSQ). There are things we got in Endwalker that we didn't get in Shadowbringers (new Deep dungeon, Variant/Criterion, Island Sanctuary, multiple level cap side quests)

What are the big differences that make you feel the player base has been cheated?

Don't confuse lack of things that you want to do as being lack of content to do in general.
