From the small team they've got the amount of issues that DON'T make it live is pretty damn amazing.
These guys have to be working themselves to the bone.
They probably are. IIRC Yoshi had a little moment in one of the recent Live Letters in which he made a passive aggressive comment about being understaffed that caught a lot of people's attention. There's been a lot of rumor about that recently. I'm starting to believe a lot of XIV's revenue is not going back into XIV. I don't understand why Square isn't re-investing back into the game. XI wrapped up all new content, how about putting some of them on XIV's staff?

On the other hand, you don't get to brag about having five million accounts and then complain you have no staff. You're either successful or you aren't.
It's not so much Yoshi being a hypocrit as much as it is the Marketing Department trying to do their job. If I was working in that department I'd definitely be trying to emphasize the game's success and mask the failures. Trailers and such are marketing tools after all.
