It's basically Animal Crossing. Create your own "base", let your minions roam free, craft special items that can be sold for island currency, and there's an economy for the islands apparently. So basically Animal Crossing.

That always happens. Literally too, the x.2 patch is the MSQ/Raid/EX and x.25 is the new side stuff. It has been like that for...I forget how many expansions now.

wasn't ocean fishing, explorer mode and crafters/gathers changes introduced in 5.2 or it was later and i misremember?

It's a big island, you can explore it, capture things on it, grow plants, craft stuff, etc. for turning in for special currency. Can put some facilities and what-not on it too.

Basically, it looks fairly involved but also totally separate from the rest of the game. I expect it'll be fairly divisive content, some people will love it and want the devs to spend more time working on it, others will hate it and demand the devs stop working on it altogether.

Of course, there is. We got fewer dungeons, and no exploration zones like Eureka or Bozja,

Come on, this is where we use small samples of content to make our point and subsequently ignore newer areas of content because it doesn't conform to the narrative.

Except that we have an island sanctuary to explore that resembles the scale of Eureka in the picture we saw. For the extra bosses that were previously in Bozja, we have new Variant dungeons for story and new Criterion and Criterion Savage dungeons and the new deep dungeon. It remains to be seen if we will actually get a new area like Bozja or Eureka for the relic, but it's possible.

Oh, I was being sarcastic with my point - It was not meant to be taken seriously. But thank you for reiterating the point regardless.

New dungeon.
New trial.
New variant dungeon.
New criterion dungeon.
New criterion dungeon (savage).
New raids.
New savage raids.
And a lot of other things such as popular quests and a beast tribe.
New relics.

But I have no doubt people on these forums will find a way to say there is less content.

you're forgetting island sanctuary.

People have been asking for savage 4 man dungeons and who expected them to announce it? Pretty amazing in my view. I saw the first part of the introduction and saw that word CASUAL and thought oh god now people will not be happy.

Was amazed to listen to the remainder of that introduction.
