Interesting, and perhaps a good sign:
According to the lodestone, SE Japan is expanding the developer team for FFXIV.

Goes in line with what Yoshida said about the dev team not shrinking but actually expanding in the near future.

More realistically speaking I'm not sure if the team is about to expand per se but rather allow for the workers currently on ARR to move to other projects without slowing down ARR's development.

A good sign nonetheless. I can't wait to hear of the expansion.

Sounds like they're bringing on people to cover patches while their main team works on the expansion. :) This is very good news!

Yeah, that'd be my guess.

Funny enough, I learned that a developer is actually a pretty small part of a core project team. A dev codes. The project manager directs everbody. There's usually an architect and a DBA and an infrastructure guy involved, and maybe an analyst to help the PM and the dev team with some of the grunt work (what I do.) A standard pizza box team won't have more than 2-3 developers on it, and then another 3-4 support personnel.
