How come CBU3 does not have a Side-Developer Team?

He also said they are currently working on 7.3 and they have a good idea of what they are doing after that and even in 8.0.

It works the same for SE as at your work. They are putting 7.2 through a few months of testing.

Yeah I don't think people realize the vast amount of testing that is happening so patches have so few bugs. There are one or two that do slip through. That's going to happen. But XIV patches are incredibly clean in comparison to other MMO developers. That takes a lot of time and preparation. Having basically essentially hotfixes between their patches would inject enough code difference that we'd probably start seeing a lot more bugs since everything wouldn't have time to be tested properly together.

FFXIV only continues to be maintained because it supplies the funding SE needs for their dead-on-arrival NFT projects and awful PS5 games. Putting more resources toward FFXIV only means less gross profit out of it. Therefore, we receive the shaft.

Which is possible. Yoshi-P is on the board which means he probably has a bit more say than your average software development manager or director but being on the board doesn't mean he gets carte blanche decisions about budgeting or about shareholder expectations. He gets a seat at the table but so do others and sometimes those others have their own pet ideas or have an iron fist control on the purse strings. So he and his team may also be dealing with a limited budget.
