While I don't agree with the OP's reasoning at all, I AM worried that Shadowbringers might not be ready to release in 3 months, or at least not how it was envisioned by the dev team.

I mean come on, did they really say tune in to the Japanese Fan Fest to find out about male Viera, only to say they weren't in the game? Why not announce that right away? Why couldn't they have shown off a picture of a plant 8 months ago when they first announced the new raid? Why is one of the new areas straight up just Limsa with event-tier decorations on top?

That plus the off-hand comments about "having to do all this in 3 months"... I suspect there's a lot of content that'll be left on the cutting room floor by the time the expansion comes out.
