I'm re-reading the Siliconera article, and there's this one tidbit that worries me.

"On the subject of getting new content on odd-numbered patches and battle content such as the Alexander raids on the even-numbered patches, Yoshida said that content such as item level upgrades and the timing of high-difficulty raids won’t change its flow, but they will continue adding more content, such as casual content on the even-numbered patches, so there will always be something for everyone."

Did Yoshi-P straight up say 4.0's formula will be the exact same 2.0 AND 3.0? Or am I missing something here in context? Or is there not enough information to determine that?

[Ryel]

That's pretty much what i took from it, the formula seems like it'll be the same but they might increase the types of content that we get in the rotation.

Not the exact same as 2.0, more like 3.0 with its Diadems and its Verminions.

tomes forever, forever tomes. always the vertical progression formula apparently..

[worldofneil]

This works for me!

I wouldn't mind these kind of patches if we had more content into it to begin with: 2 dungeons every patch is nice (although we had 3) but beside the primal addition and the alex raids (which both I don't do), there isn't really all that much to look for: I'm enjoying the aquapolis but i wish i had more to do than just redoing the same 2 experts and 3 daily quests for moogles. I'm honestly getting bored...

maybe because you're only doing expert DR and moogle quests lol.

I don't do savage myself but i don't find myself getting that bored.

[ChocoFeru]

I'm ok with this since I usually do all kinds of content, not only savage :P

Vertical progression is ok too, since that kind of progression is new player-friendly and can get around your ilvl in days instead of years.

They just need to add different kinds of content, such as Deep Dungeons!

Not the exact same as 2.0, more like 3.0 with its Diadems and its Verminions.

both awesome and raging success content , airships .....oh dont forget relic reborn , atma 3.0 ver , and HQ items , that was received with open arms....

if SE reedem itself with deep dungeon im more than happy but....too soon to say

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

I think all it's really saying it the current formula won't change. That being x.Even number: Progression patch. x.Odd number: Catch up patch. However, casual-oriented content will still be introduced even with progression patches.
