Tsukyoyomi, Suzuku, and Seiryu excluded from Dancer and Gunbreaker

You're probably right, but I think the blame is misplaced. It seems more like a management and resources issues with what we know (namely that such items were made off the clock, on the devs own free time, which would be a premium considering the Covid-19 pandemic and the delay for the patch). In other world the executives and financiers likely didn't allocate the money and manpower for something like than this in an official capacity, and Some can argue that it extends beyond mere glowy weaponskins.

I'd rather have them to apply QoL fixes to the game than focusing on new content, more weapons for the newer jobs on older content and the Viera/Hrothgar headpiece and gender issues being the most glaring ones we haven't seen a lick of them addressing that.

Its also a matter of marketing. One has to assume that the suits assume that dungeons and raids (mostly the latter) are what sells subscriptions, and that QoL features and glamour pieces don't. Which is to say that they cannot dedicate even a single patch to QoL updates free of any new combat content.

Which is to say that to them, a patch could add Male Viera, Female Hrothgar, visible hats for them, the missing gear in sets for every class for every level (moslty weapons,but there's also the pre-starting level dungeon gear, the PVP battleiege sets and relics), more slots tot he glamour dresser, instanced housing, and single handily make Healers, MNK and BRD balanced as they could be without needing QoL fixes or being reduced to single button spam for DPS...and people would not sub for it because there isn't a new Expert roulette dungeon.

Put simply I don't think the marketing was meant to emphasize things of relevance to existing subs, but try to get newer ones in,and thus that means the devs have to make content to market in the first place.

Of course I could be misinterpreting your comment based off some of the responces in that "hypothetical non-progression xpac" thread

the Viera/Hrothgar headpiece and gender issues being the most glaring ones we haven't seen a lick of them addressing that.

They've actually addressed both these things, some 5-ish months ago they said that they knew the Viera/Hrothgar situation wasn't ideal and they were working towards alleviating the issues and making things better in the future. Now what that means concretely remains to be seen, but they've addressed it.

Male Viera and female Hrothgar they addressed shortly after launch (or shortly after the announcement of the races? I can't remember.) and I assume nothing's changed on their stance on that so far so there's nothing more to say.

But if by addressing it you mean actually adding these things then yeah, crickets.
