Less content in the Stormblood when compared to Heavensward?

You forgot the most dreadful part : Mandatory tome farming every 6 months (at worst) to even unlock the new content.
I've already decided that, should it still be there, I would only play for one month each new major patch, and suspend my account for the two remaining months inbetween.
