It was part of my intention, Thanks!

The problem isn't the size of the game. It is their methods for developing content.
1. No progression path the game has basically devolved into
-solo to 50
-do hunts for raid gear (because this makes sense)
-afk because they give 0 incentive to do any content after you have seen it.
2. Totally backwards progression when it existed (prior to 2.3)
-hit 50.
-do dungeons that give currency for armor 20-30 ilvls higher than they drop and are tuned for 20-30 ilvls lower than they drop
-do raids that drop gear the... same? ilvl as the dungeon currency (2.0-2.1 only)
-months later release a casual style raid (which was prior to release portrayed as actual "large" scale raid content) that drops gear a... lower ilvl? Than what has been available for months from solo queueing dungeons.
Then the kicker.
Every 2 patches we will totally wipe the slate and instead of increasing the amount of relevant content we will just replace it all. GG deleting relevant content every 6 months.
That of course is ignoring the whole "we spent months/years developing this game environment so you could walk through it solo once following yellow ! marks then sit in your favorite city waiting for queues because the open world is basically pointless" (Thank you blizzard for turning MMOs into this)
FFXIV is not anime, no matter how much you think it is.

What you posted was nothing more than a CGI made by Square Enix with a music video in the background.
Gotta agree with that, they are pushing out content fast. But I think one of the key points the other poster made was the content was poorly developed. I mean let's be real, I have not seen a positive remark about Atma or Hunts. If I am overlooking these posts please link i'd love to see what positive there is in these new content developments. Honestly, I think SE would be better off not trying to be creative and keep leeching off other MMOs ideas till they have enough solid content to start "playing around". But that's just me.
Personally the content isn't the biggest drawback it's the slow paced got damn combat. Even mnk feels slow and clunky. But that's just my gripe.
On topic, good vid 7/10. Didn't really think that song fit but eh it worked out I guess.
