Realm Reborn had way more content when current expansions

[ShadowyZero]

.

To say there was more content in ARR is absolutely ridiculous. Yes, we lost 10 sidequest dungeons from patches, but we gained 3 variant dungeons, 3 criterion dungeons, a deep dungeon, normal raids (normal/savage didn't used to be split), a field operation (ie. Diadem/Eureka/Bozja/Shade's Triangle), a Chaos Raid, misc content such as the Masked Carnivale and Exploratory content (ie. Ishgard Restoration/Island Sanctuary/Cosmic Exploration). The closest you could say it had to Ultimate was a savage version of coils, but there are even 2 Ultimate fights now usually.

ah yes this topic lets have a history lesson shall we?
