Creative Studio 3 is working on multiple projects at once.

Totally agree

Let's also just ignore the fact that Yoshi heavily criticized this sort of development when he took over 1.x and saw that the Miqote, Roegadyn, and Highlanders also weren't finished with having only one gender. Let's just ignore that Yoshi himself said it wasn't acceptable to cut corners on development and the fans deserved to have a full game, but you know, whatever I guess... we just forget and don't hold good ol' Yoshi to what he's said before.

Adding to this, I wish this game picked a damn lane.
Sometimes I see the poor state of job design and encounter balance justified as "raiders are not the main target audience".
But if it's more casual people/people who rp/people who glam/etc, then having two very incomplete races (not even mentioning the hideous rigging on female Hrothgar shoulders and whatnot) is a huge issue.
It's like everyone loses with XIV lately. I was playing on a Viera alt I made a while ago today (and never bothered playing) since I need another alt at 100 to help friends clearing Savage, and I was trying a random cute witch hat and took me a solid 15s to realize that the reason why the gear preview "wasn't working" was because Viera have no hats. Time to use my free Fantasia, won't catch me playing without my cute witch hat.
