In an interview with Gamasutra, the new producer of Final Fantasy XIV, Naoki Yoshida, pointed to problems of the launch of MMO from Square Enix. "XIV had many problems, both from the technological point of view of the game," says Yoshida. "Square Enix has worked closely with the community. So they had to heavily modify the game." "Generally it is difficult to recover after a roll full of problems because as with many Western MMOs, the projects are dependent on investment.
And if an MMO with a budget fails to launch major investors are starting to disappear." "At that point the money flow stops and the studies must create smaller teams and have their content or opt for other models, such as free-to-play. In any case FFXIV is funded 100% by Square Enix so it all depends on us.
