Need for Occult Crescent in 7.2, not 7.25

I think we should change this to say the game is lacking content period because the meager content they do release is over in just a few moments of partaking in it. If they were releasing content fast enough or at least huge segments of content in longer periods, then everyone would likely have something to do, given more content means you'll find something. And before DT released, I thought they were going to change to doing that by releasing all the content right away they were talking about. But I was naive to think they would change the "system", they continue to spread it thin and leave the playerbase doing the current content famished after. As it is now, no one is eating good here; we're all starved lel, unless you are a new player or just someone who doesn't play the game.

I said it before, but it's bad when a mobile game releases more content than an mmo monthly...especially with more engaging game design and gameplay.

And yet they spend months working on that "few moments" of content. It's because it's an intentional design decision:

I'm fairly certain the poster you are quoting is referring to shelf life of the content (which has room for improvement in FFXIV), not time of a singular run.
7.1 in sum was very meager in that regard unless you enjoy progress raiding.

Indeed I was, lack of replayability and lack of variation in the content with said playability makes for dull experiences. Once your done with the content, your done with the content in 14. Where HSR and Gogomuffin (which I started recently), both mobile games, have things with replayability in weekly content and variation (dragon in gogo as well as Horror || DU, Memory of Chaos, Apocalyptic, Pure Fiction in Honkai)... FFXIV at this point is an AFK simulator great for RPers not so great for people who enjoy engagement with the game state.

yeah, I'm right there with you. Personally I am currently diving a lot in Darktide and Deep Rock Galactic, both games with just a fraction of the content available in FFXIV, but with a perceived bigger replayability for all kinds of content. Different builds and mission modifiers keep things fresh even if you know the baseline of what to expect. And group play with my friends feels generally more engaging and cooperative than running content in FFXIV.
I still have high hopes for Occult Crescent, mind you. On paper it reads like it could bring a lot of fun to the table. just the release date of a year after expansion launch is incredibly unfortunate.
