I think this explains a lot about XIV's current lack of progress/content, since both primarily budget and secondary attention were probably being syphoned from XIV to this project. Personally I think the game looks interesting but on the other hand I am not happy that XIV has (apparently) been left to languish so they can sell us a completely separate game.

Hello everyone!
Hope everything is going good for you all in these tough times! As most of you know, due to the cancellation of the appearance of Square Enix at PAX East 2020 due to Covid-19 our corresponding interview was also canceled. However, in it's place we were granted an email interview to submit your questions from our threads here as well as our Discord server directly to the development team.
As noted in the interview below, we will not have a Japanese translation this year due to the lack of an audio transcript. We apologize to the Japanese players who read our interviews and will continue do our best to provide our future content in Japanese.
