    I believed this at some point, but no.
    Most of what I hated about Endwalker was her doing, according to her own answers to interviews and Q&A.
    Hermes? 100% her and she even put more Hermes apologism in Eureka Orthos, completely unprompted. I doubt Yoshi-P tasked her to do that. (She also said before EW that Hermes and Meteion were her favorite characters.)
    The completely out-of-character Emet-Selch speech at the end of Ultima Thule where he winks to the camera and hypes future Final Fantasy XIV (tm) content? She actually suggested it to Yoshi-P, not the reverse.

    I have no idea what you're talking about and I suspect this is yet another attempt at silencing opinions.
    But no, you don't need to read the text in its original language to get a grasp of a writer's style. DRK, Stormblood Eastern MSQ, Eureka Orthos, Omega, Shb 5.0 and EW 6.0 are unmistakably her work.
    Look at the parallels between Sidurgu / Rielle, Thancred / Ryne and Hermes / Meteion. Or the bigger focus on emotional and intimate conflicts over worldbuilding in her quests.
