FF16 stealing even more dev time from FF14

[Iyrnthota]

What you seem to be forgetting is that FF15 came out after 10 years of work or so?

In the process of developing FF16 there's been a pandemic, and many other problems. FF16's concept work started back in 2015. This is only going to be year 8 of their work on it, and they're already trying to release it this June.

So yes, I can see why this could be hurting FF14. They're trying to rush a major title. I wonder, I wonder, where could they have gotten the resources to rush it from, especially considering the previous major title took 10 years of development?

I think the point is that a lot of people look at FF16 and say "this is the cause of the current content issues in FF14", but with how close to release it is, and how long it's been developed for, it is far more likely that if it did have an impact, then it would have been around Stormblood/Shadowbringers era. Not current Endwalker.
