This is getting ridiculous. (Endwalker MSQ and post MSQ spoilers)

I’m not even talking about things like deep dungeon or bozja. Even things as simple as voice acting in the alli raids and trial series was missing. Primal weapons for Gnb and Dnc were missing. A second pvp set. An end of expansion set.

If you can send me an exact number of how many scenes overall were voiced from one expansion to the other. That being inclusive of both story, raids, and alliance. If you can give me an exact metric from this then I'll be inclined to agree with you, otherwise for the time being I will maintain my stance that the MSQ of Shadowbringers probably has as much voice acting from previous expansion story/raid combined. Again though, here we go on with the useless trug of introducing items in certain areas for the sake of maintaining an established number. They aren't obligated to have 2 PvP sets. We got a tonne of glamour and emotes introduced in the Firmament, mounts included in fact, similarly some added in via Ocean Fishing. Not even neglecting the fact we saw the introduction of crafter relics in addition to the routine blessed tools.

Like to be frank the only argument I'm seeing from you here is that you're unhappy the routine isn't there and ignoring items that were introduced in other areas of content. Speaking of which I don't recall Ivalice dungeons ever dropping 2 minions per raid, Modern Aesthetics, nor glamour coffers and housing items, do you? Because I certainly don't, and I certainly recall the YorHa raid doing exactly that. This is the problem with your point of view. It's so narrow that you can make arguments on a case-by-case basis whilst ignoring the bigger picture.

I've already said my point on primal weapons. In that if they're developed because someone has spare time then they shouldn't exist to begin with. Given the astonishingly poor level of consistency and routine with these weapons I think it's reasonable to infer that they probably aren't developed in work hours.
