This was during the Producer Live Letter #73 which took place in early October 2022 :D link to Nova Crystallis's thread summary of the live letter here. (endwalker and post-endwalker spoilers, specifically patch 6.2 in the thread)
Btw in my quest for information i found out one of the new lead writers's name is daichi hiroi.
He wrote the bard quests and the magical ranged dps quests for shb and pandemonium i think the game's in good hand
#i remember when the live letter happened and a small bunch of people were like “oh he helped write save the queen 7.0 msq is DOOMED”#lmfao#but also all the bard boys fans screaming and crying bc Boys Mentioned was such a nice thing to experience#one thing you gotta note is that leads in a game development department like art/writing etc do not do all of the work alone#leads have to do a lot of managerial work like meetings and overseeing their teams and may not have the time to do more than oversee/review#with the less senior team members making most of the 'content' which is guided by their leads#tl;dr hiroi isn't single handedly writing dawntrail nor did ishikawa single handedly write enw and shb etc; it's a collaborative effort#also oda and ishikawa are senior story designers and still have a supervisory role in the scenario writing amongst other responsibilities#not to diminish hiroi's role bc overseeing an expansion's scenario and keeping things coherent is a huge responsibility#also they have several teams of people in writing bc you have everything from scenario writing (the MSQ) to quest text to flavour text#there is So Much Text in one expansion#source: not a games writer but worked in games enough to have an idea of team structure and pipeline#anyway#ffxiv#endwalker spoilers
