Two things:

1. They branched out too much and didn’t keep the same quality (HOW many spinoff games did VII and X and XII have? Sure, some of them were bearable, even enjoyable, but they certainly weren’t of the same quality as the originals).

2. They got lazy and didn’t want to put effort into games when they could make a quick buck off the brand name alone (remember what was said about XIII? That they didn’t make towns because it would be “too hard”? The same excuse they gave for why they won’t do FFVII remake – it has towns. Reeks of lazy shitness, and FFXIV is showing the extent that lazy shitness can go in spades).

As shitty as FFXIV is in its current state, we’re talking about a game that must’ve taken millions of dollars to develop. Being a profit-based organization, they’ll use any means necessary to scrape off what little they can get for as long as they can. ‘Beating a dead horse’ has never been more accurate and obvious in gaming industry as it is now with Square-Enix. I WANT to pity the execs, really. Then …
