What is going on with Square Enix and the 14 team?

[Clover_Blake]

(smaller maps, less dungeons, less gear etc.)

We... don't get less gear.
We definitely get more than back when the game started.

We get 1 dg instead of 2 (thanks god), and because of that, they add other different kinds of cool content.

(Smaller maps? What do you mean?)
