Yoshida-san, Where's the Challenge? Where are the Real Changes? END GAME Content?

I think the problem is the level cap was not supposed to be 50 for so long. I believe it was only temporary to stop us getting to far ahead of the PS3 players. However with all that has happened and the current state of FFXIV the PS3 release is on hold until they get everything sorted so we won't see the cap removed for a while and they had no "End Game" content for R50 because R50 was not supposed to be End Game.

Hi Alexia,

Good point. The original team probably thought they'd be moving on to Ishgard, Chocobos and raising the level cap (in their original plan) by now, but clearly hearing from the reaction the game has gotten, Players' Polls and the changes in the team, it's no longer the case.

I should've clarified that I was hoping for more stuff for the "current end of the game" (i.e., Rank 50) players to do at some point. As Darkstar and others have mentioned, heck, out of the 20 NMs they added for Patch 1.17, would it have hurt to take ~2 of them and had them be reused versions of an Inferno Drake or a Raptor and made it something that a group of Rank 50 players could band together and kill? Rancid Rakk the Raptor NM? :P
