I'm starting to feel like the devs are bitter about FFXIV or the head honchos are, and just want to use it as a cash cow. I know it sounds unhinged, but I just don't feel the love from them for making this game better. There's just way too many QoL improvements they could make, but just refuse to dedicate teams or people to do so.

IMPROVE YOUR MAIN GAME, your main cash driver. Better a bird in hand (FFXIV) than ten in the bush (all your failed projects) Maybe your merch might sell better too, and we might get something better out of you than god awful FF7 remake after remake after rehash after re-imagining, after movie, after spinoff. Stuff like Octopath 2, that seemed to be made with actual passion. And not relying on memberberries and FF7's former success. There are other Final Fantasies too. Hell even FFXIV relies WAY too much on memberberries from older Final Fantasies, sometimes the "references" are just blatant rip offs, down to plotlines in the MSQ
