Lack of content on patch release

[Miyafuji]

If you want to talk about 4.3 by deliberating removing a part of the patch cycle to prove a point I'm afraid you are having a disonest conversation.

You're completely missing the topic of this thread. This thread is about the content we've been provided on release of a major patch, and the fact that we are receiving the actual bulk of the content not on the day of the patch but months down the line. Eureka being delayed I completely understand but why delay Heaven on High when many people were excited for it for patch 4.3 especially with the showcasing of Heaven on High along with all the details that was announced just before the patch too.

I also don't think people are saying that 4.3 isn't going to be bad once its content has been released, I personally can't wait to grind Heaven on High and the new Eureka once it eventually comes out. The fact is that this patch is incredibly staggered and so drawn out yet some people defend this.

The whole 4.3 vs 3.1 diabtribe was born because there are ppl that consider 4.3 worse than 3.1 while it's not true.

Literally no one said this in this thread.

Unfortunately the decided to release it all in a trickle over the next 3 months. God damnit SE... The excuse I recall hearing was "we dont want to overload the players, if they have too many things to do they wont be able to get to all the content." Please OVERLOAD US! I would rather sit down to FFXIV and wonder, "where do i start?" not "well, i did my dailies out of obligation, now what?" Its getting frustrating paying for a sub only to get a casual week at most out of new content before everything feels like a chore. Its not that they couldnt release it all at the same time, its an intentional tricking of content to give the illusion of content injection. These X.X1 X.X5 and X.X6 patches should be for QOL and hotfixes not content injections.

I honestly couldn't agree more. I miss how the X.Xx patches would include new glamour options, new housing items, emotes, some job adjustments and additional things to do. Instead, the mogstation seems to be where most of these resources have gone.
