Do not let the voices of other others opinions corrupt your expectations for the coming expansion.

I'm sorry, but I don't need other voices to see that

Heavensward:
1 new race
3 new jobs

Stormblood:
no new races
2 new jobs

what's next, only 1 expert dungeon? I'm kidding, but it doesn't look too promising.

Woh! Putting any game next to VI is saying something.
But yea, I agree to an extent. I think OPs point still stands though. Besides, what difference does it make if you scour through all the info, you're still getting the same product.

Actually, I find that more promising. I want more content to participate in, not to have funds allotted to another job we don't even need. Races are purely aesthetic and once again, I would much prefer adding to our current customization options than wasting resources on a new race entirely.

I think OP is actually just concerned for people who just so happen to be easily affected by negativity in general no matter what form and this message is most likely aimed towards them. There are so many ways to express ones concerns and it's not always clear to everyone. Just try to read between the lines, set yourself in OP's mood and don't get stuck on technicalities or projections. I honestly just think he means well.

Sure, but we'll have neither.

Unless I am mistaken XI (which so many like to compare to) did rather well with no races being introduced at all. Atleast from what I am able to look up as well one of the CoP had no additional jobs and WoG had two instead of three so just using XI as a basis this isn't new. As Bourne says as well this means more resources for the devs to put towards other parts of the expansion from story to character customization to those inventory expansions. Just as possiblities mind.

That remains to be seen. Stormblood has triple the budget, thus they will be spending it on something. Now it could be useless content like say, Blitzball. Still, I'll reserve judgment until we see it.

Very much reserve judgement as to my understanding this is still more rumor then anything else. At the least I have not seen anyone actually produce evidence beyond hearsay about hearing it from someone else.

And you know that from...where? SE has said absolutely nothing about their plans in regards to character customization.
It might be coming, it might be not. We as players know nothing about it (except that with the PS3 gone, it would definitely be prettier, because one of the reasons for low res on more detailed horns, hairstyle, etc. was the PS3's limited memory).

It's a false rumor which was never confirmed. Stop repeating it.
Some troll on gamefaqs created a trollpost and posted a link to SE investors relations site but these numbers are not in that link, in fact there was not a single word about Stormblood. The same post said there will be Viera race in 4.0.
That original post in question.

[loreleidiangelo]

you took it that way. that's not his fault.

What is there to misinterpret about language like "do not", and "you will" and "just [do this]"? Coupled with an extremely polarizing thread title calling folks with legitimate grievances a hive mind/mob? I don't think I misunderstood anything - this is a veiled "complaining about complainers" post, and I call them like I see them.
