Feeling Underwhelmed with 3.4

[Vantol]

Yoshi has like 20 people on his team.

That's not true. Games of this scale usually have 300-400 people working on it (excluding server maintance people, support and others, with them number should be around 700-800). And I don't understand how it takes 3 months for, let's say, 100-150 people to develop 2 dungeons, 1 trial and 4 raid bosses and another 100 people and 3 months to develop same-old mechanics with new colors.

That is the reason why people complain and aren't satisfied.

I highly doubt that FFXIV has a team comprising of 20% of the total employee count of Square Enix.

Because designing dungeons and raids (the environments, not just the bosses) isn't as simple as slapping assets together and calling it a day as you seem to think it does. Balancing fights and mechanics also takes multiple passes. There's a reason why new dungeons and raids arrive fairly well balanced with few issues. Meticulous testing and balancing.

I assumed "The Rising" 2015 was his whole dev team. And he constantly says his team is small...bc apparently no one will believe him. At Fanfest 2014, Yoshi said one man coded EVERY SINGLE MONSTER in the overworld. Stop being cynical, they're giving us everything they can.
