Is there no medium difficulty content or am I just too stupid?

Well, when you put it that way then the Hardcore group actually have even better ground to make complain because they even have less content. 'Cause that just leave them with the last 2 floors of savage and ultimate ... with the last one only touched by an extremely small amount of people.

While I understand the desire to have more content in the area of your interest, it's worth to remember FF14 is a game that's like a cake that try to server "everyone". So naturally everyone will get a smaller slice then they would normally get had the game catered to their specific group. And asking for your slice to be bigger is the same as asking other people to receive a smaller slice.

Rather instead of asking for a bigger slice, I get better millage by be able to eat more than one slice. Tbh casual, midcore, hardcore mean little to me in this game because I dive into and enjoy all of them equally. So any quantitative difference between them, if exists, doesn't mean much. On the other hand, if someone for "any reason" restrict and/or limit themselves to just some very specific slice of the FF14 cakes ... I don't think it's the game's fault they don't feel full after eating.

First couple floors of savage or a hard thing to gauge; it really depends on the person. But with the amount of time savage can take and especially ultimate, I think it's fine.

But anyway the biggest issue is that the lower end stuff is almost entirely one and done with no replayability value. If we're going food metaphors, it's like you finished your meal and want seconds, but the kitchen is empty.

But that only if you want the same dish though, whether FF14 is more like a full course meal. Like, you finish the appetizer and want a 2nd serving, then yeah the kitchen won't have one, but not because you don't have anything left to eat, but because you're supposed to move to the next dish in the course. Which is exactly my point.

For example: I don't EX is short or 1 shot content, unless you're extremely lucky and get the mount early. For most people, it's a 50 fights marathon (with some turn into a sprint). Usually by the time I finish farming the EX, the next content will start, like in this case savage. It will keep me occupied for a time. By the time I round up savage, usually the next EX or 24 men will be around the corner. And that's not taking into other stuffs in between like Criterion in this expansion or the Relic grind in previous expansion.

So like I said, if you're someone who can get into more than a few type contents, you get the most out of the game. FF14 is more of a full-course meal rather than a buffet, and definitely not a specialized restaurant.
