im was speaking in genreral, and yeah it carrys over in to ffxiv.

As a developer I'd like to know where your information is coming from lol. There is nothing cutting down our development time beyond needing to do basic infrastructure that engines take care of these days, e.g we no longer need to program a custom camera view point as they now come prebuilt in various setups.
nothing cut down ffxiv dev time cuz they were making the engine and making ffxiv with ffxiii so they screwed them selfs 3 times the work. "we no longer need to program a custom camera view point as they now come prebuilt in various setups" well that the job of the engine, dont think your really a dev if you tossed out that sentence, or just a lazy one who dont know much.

SE's managment just sucks plain and simple took on more work than there teams can handle and its showing.
