'At this rate, there was a bigger risk of us reaching the release date without ensuring stability as one form of quality, and for that reason, I have decided to postpone the release at this time.' 'Unfortunately, the consequence of this was that we ended up in a situation where we cut into the time required for final quality assurance checks due to this time spent on additional improvements. 'As a result, we remained firmly resolved to adjust down to the smallest nuances and ensure our writing covers even the finest points of the vast and intricate story that has spanned these past 11 years since the original Final Fantasy 14 to ensure that everyone can fully enjoy their adventure in Endwalker,' said Yoshida. Yoshida apologized for the delay, and said that because Endwalker concludes the first major saga, he felt the team needed to push things to the limit that was envisioned. According to producer and director Naoki Yoshida, the biggest factor behind the delay was his 'own selfishness' to further improve the expansion's quality due to it being the first major culmination of events (thanks, Gematsu).
