Also to add to this we are getting:

New Firmament/Restoration
New C&V dungeons
Eureka 3
Deep dungeon 4
Beastmaster

To me this seems like it will also be throwing stuff at a wall. Last expansion had zero replayable content so they have thrown at us all of this. I am really not confident this will all be at the same quality, the new ultimate raid isn't projected to be coming out until 2025 so developing all of these systems seems like they will have ones that are rushed. I do hope I'm wrong about this but this is the gut feeling I have right now.

DDs and V&C are already incredibly formulaic already I can only imagine how they're going to streamline it for the purpose of working on the other content longer. I really hope beastmaster doesn't just end up as physical blue mage and is an actual pet job.
