Do you think they already have FF16 and 17 nearly done and are just waiting to release this before them (I mean what is the Ivalice team working on)? Therefore, get rid of the man in charge and get someone in who will speed the process up.

Was just about to make a thread about this?

I was thinking that of making a thread about the Nebula Nova Crysalist (or whatever it was) series and how it has hurt SE in more ways then they probably like to admit. Development time and effort spent for years making games and it took 4 years to release the first from when it was announced and it wasn't that great, 2 poor sequels, a handheld game and mobile game is all we have to show for it and the handheld game took 6 years to be released. FFXV (vsXIII) has taken 8 years to get this far. 

In all time they could have made 3 main series FF titles each selling 8 million last gen instead of 1 series that sold 11 total, a game not even released and a psp game only in japan.
