Lack of End Game Content

[CorbinDallas]

I believe this is his 1st expansion launch so his perspective is skewed a bit with how much end game content there has been for the previous level caps.

But there is and has always been a lack of end-game content(lv80 only content) for FFXIV until mid way through an expansion. It is how this game is structured and doubtful it would change as that would require different patch cycles which they seem hesitant to ever do again after the 3.0 -> 3.1 delay.

That said they have been slowly working on adding more, we are going to have another dungeon with savage release which they have never done for previous X.05 releases, Ultimates in SB were a very welcome addition and its good to hear they had plans to continue making them as these also made dungeon gear relevant something no other content has been able to do outside leveling. Baldesion Arsenal while a poor implementation was really good content and brought a lot of the community together.

The big problem with all these are they are not going to be coming for patches(3 months to 1.5 years) and when you look at a base expansion it is lacking but the devs are aware and do try to add more to it should resources allow.

The "dungeon" released alongside Savage is just another version of Aquapolis/Canals, nothing to get too excited over. It might work differently, but I wouldn't get too hype.

You sure? they specifically said dungeon and presented it as 9 new dungeons in the expansion(we only have 8 atm) and they tend to class Aquapolis/Canals as a different type of content than dungeons

It might work like a typical dungeon, but it's still just going to be the same old "poke a treasure map chest and pray to get in" type of thing, I bet. I doubt we'll be getting a standard 4 man dungeon of the kind that we're used to, if that's what you're thinking.

I reread the 5.0 patch notes, and it specifically says

The treasure hunt instance the Dungeons of Lyhe Ghiah and Eden's Gate (Savage) are scheduled to be released in 5.05.

So whether it's an actual "dungeon" or just the name is up in the air, we won't know till we hear more. Until then I'm gonna keep my expectations low and assume it's just a reskinned Aquapolis again.

hmm this has me a fair bit skeptical of their marketing, the lost canals were released in 4.05 and were not classed as a dungeon nor did SE promote it as such. :/
