I really hope an FF17 doesn't pop up with it being Yoshida, Koji and the gang again moved off of 14, because it will just put the nail in the coffin of what is actually happening over there, Koji Fox is already mysteriously missing when it comes to the translations/lore and replaced with Kate, at least from what one of the VA's said, who knows what's happening.
Honestly, XVI just made me realize I don't want Yoshida leasing anything anymore. XVI isv full of the same problems XIV has in terms of narrative pacing and quest structure. XIV is full of long expository dumps that keep repeating what has been said already, and big maps with nothing to discover, whose only purpose is making you walk to talk to someone. XVI has long cutscenes with expository dumps that need you to consult an in game encyclopedia to understand, and big maps empty of things to discover whose only purpose, again, is to make you walk to talk to somebody.
