Anyway, WTF? I know XIII is unpopular (haven't played it though), but they make a committee because "some recent titles" didn't live up to the quality? And this committee comprises mainly of the guys behind XIII?

... Why is it that I get the feeling they mean XII and they want to say the X/XIII model is the way the series should go? -_-

FFXII is pretty flawed story-wise, especially given the fact that they had a director (writer?) change halfway through production. I assume it's that kind of stuff this committee is created to hopefully prevent.

FFXIII is pretty much considered a huge mess by most fans. I've heard some people who loved the story but hated the gameplay, and some fans who just hated all of it. I've only played about 45 minutes of it, so I can't really comment personally, but there's been an lot of outcry over the years.

The launch of the first FFXIV was just horrendous. It was so bad that they let the people who bought it play for free for quite awhile, and they had to make an entirely new game to rectify their mistake.

FFvsXIII/FFXV has had a production time so long that it outgrew the generation of console that it was created for. A lot of people went out and bought PS3 to get that game, and now it won't even be on it (as far as I know). Plus, I mean, just seven years with almost no news.

So, I wouldn't call it two games. I think it's good that SE is finally realizing just how poor they've been doing with things, and hopefully they can get back on the right track. I'm not sure if this committee will be enough to do what they intend, but it's taking a step in the right direction with awareness.
