Only one dungeon in odd numbered patches

Unless you completely redo how dungeons will work from ground up. Trying to reach floor 200 was way more fun than any dungeon has ever done for me

2.0
3 dungeons -> 3 months -> 0 dungeon -> 3 months -> 3 dungeons -> 3 months -> 0 dungeon = 3 dungeons every 6 months

4.0
2 dungeons -> 3 months -> 1 dungeon -> 3 months -> 2 dungeons -> 3 months -> 1 dungeon = 3 dungeons every 6 months

The current plan for what these patches will contain is odd numbered patches will have one dungeon and some other new content while even numbered patches will have two new dungeons and QOL improvements.

Patch 3.5 = 2 dungeons
8 dungeons total

to

Patch 4.1 = 1 dungeon + new content
Patch 4.2 = 2 dungeons
Patch 4.3 = 1 dungeon + new content
Patch 4.4 = 2 dungeons
Patch 4.5 = 1 dungeon + new content
7 dungeons total + 3 iterations of new content.

I don't really think that is less content.

Don't try counting your chocobos before they hatch. I don't think anyone pre-HW would have guessed patch 3.4 would have been a 0 instead of a 2 either.
(Edit: Apparently we did get 2 dungeons in 3.4)

That is really adorable if you're trying to suggest that SE is taking resources away from a piece of content designed for 90+ percent of the playerbase, in order to produce a single encounter that is 90% flipped assets that 4% of players will attempt, and 1% will clear during the time it's relevant.
(all numbers stated are arbitrary, obviously)
Anything we gain by losing 3 dungeons over the course of SB, will be content designed for the same demographic of player.

that would also go unseen unless they make it more efficient to run through all floors.

Floor 200 was the most fun I've had with this game. 4 man pseudo roguelike was such a good idea.
