Shadowbringers starting to feel like a budget expansion

Correct. Although sometimes that target audience is a hit or miss with them. Feedback and criticism is so all over the place with the community on what they want. I'm sure SE has mental break downs trying to figure out what the community really wants. It's a never ending battle but eh, most of the stuff ain't that bad like how some people put it out to be.

The thing is though that they are very bad at communication. As far as game development and player feedback goes, it's a 2 way street. 95% of the time, it is us trying to give them feedback and they have nothing to really say in return. Or they are just outright dismissive. They would benefit from giving us the illusion that they are listening at the very least, like official polls and more active forum/community mods. Actively engaging with the player base directly would go a long way.

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

A lot has changed since 1.0 and 2.0. In my opinion they have lost a fair amount of that inspiration since then. I just call it as I see it, nothing more. What I see may not be what you see, and vice versa.

I'm inclined to wonder how much the lack of communication has to do with the language barrier and feedback being gathered from Twitter and Reddit rather than the official forum. It's exceptionally rare to see our community representatives post on this forum, for example - and there's a number of major issues that are objectively worthy of an official response that have been gathering dust for months now. One key example being the lack of access on the part of European players to the Fat Black Chocobo that was offered up as a promotional item to Japanese and American players.
