A number of the more important members of the development team behind Final Fantasy XIV have been removed from the project after horrific reviews and outraged fans. Director Nobuaki Komoto and Producer Hiromichi Tanaka have both been removed from the project and replaced by other talent.
Nobody has been happy with the result that is the current state of Final Fantasy XIV, including Square Enix. In a letter addressed to the community at the Final Fantasy XIV Loadstone, President and CEO, Yoichi Wada, discusses the future of the MMO and offers his sincerest apologies to the community.
He goes on to give a status update on the PS3 version of the game.
PS3 owners, trust Wada on this one, you're better off waiting for them to implement the massive amount of changes and improvements they have planned before it's released.

To realize this vision, and in doing so, provide our customers with a better game experience, we have assembled our company's top talent and resources. Taking over the role of producer and director is Naoki Yoshida, a passionate individual for whom customer satisfaction has always taken top priority. Not only is he one of our Group's most accomplished and experienced members, Naoki Yoshida is also a charismatic leader possessing the skill to bring together and effectively helm a team which encompasses a wide range of responsibilities. We also welcome several new leaders handpicked from other projects to work with the existing talent on FINAL FANTASY XIV.

Regarding the PlayStation 3, it is not our wish to release a simple conversion of the Windows version in its current state, but rather an update that includes all the improvements we have planned. For that reason, we have made the difficult decision to delay the release of the PlayStation 3 version beyond the originally announced date of March 2011.
