[Stormblood Budget] Where all the money's gone ?

[Voltyblast]

1) TWO new zones that are (supposedly) each the size of Heavensward which are full of story.
2) New housing area.
3) Battle system refresh.
4) Expanded inventory.
5) New content types.
6) New jobs.
7) New raids (24 and 8 man).
8) New breast tribes and primals.
9) I can go on....

1) Yeah two new zones...which will become barren as soon as people realize there's nothing to do in them. And considering HW did this too, I'm afraid nothing will change.

2) New housing area but with the same old system with 45 days of demolishing and still same ward system that still doesn't work to this day? What could possibly go wrong?!

3) Probably the only thing that could make me interested again in the game, is not even mentioned nor explained in detail this far except for "UI improvements" and such. Excitement at its finest...

4) Which was promised in HW too and never delivered?

5) What new content types then? I want to see, I want to be shown this "new content types" but if they don't show it, how can I be excited about the expansion? And I'm not saying with sarcasm: I want to be legit excited like when HW was announced!

6) Two new dps jobs, which will make the queue clogged for quite a while and increase the "mercenary" runs into dungeons. I'm fairly sure that wasn't planned...

7) Which I doubt it will change much: I'm fairly sure 8man raids will be the same "OHKO" stuff alongside DPS races, while the 24 man raid will be the usual catch up thing. I might be wrong here but meh, don't hope too much.

8) Nice...when are they going to drop? On launch? I ask because I'd like to do something else alongside the 2 dungeons at lvl 70. Also hope the primals are a bit better: I really disliked hw primals while loved the ARR a lot, even Ramuh and Moogle guy.

9) I can go too: how about a better relic system that isn't recycled from ARR and HW? How about a glamour log? An additional retainer? Changing the tome system into something different and more rewarding? And more customization on our chars? I mean ps3 is finally dropped: where is our improved customization?!

I hate to be pessimistic but I'm legit concerned because while some of my problems are relatively minor (I don't need a glamour log really), the stuff they are wanting to spend money seem to be rather flimsy. Glad they raised the budget but if the stuff we'll get is the same - hopefully not LESS - than HW or ARR, how good was this raise in budget to begin with?

I dunno, I'll be waiting a while before even entering the expansion. I just have too little trust on their methods.
