"And because of this new direction, it could be that the overall [amount] of content that we implement in the game goes down. But in doing so, we hope that many more players will be able to enjoy the content that we implement."

LMAO don't even think about huffing the 8.0 copium LOL

I guess, as a compensation for less ingame content, they will increase the amount of content in the cash shop.

Old news. They're planning activities that have wider appeal, so they will need to develop fewer niche activities overall.

Guess Chaotic will be a one time thing. Not that i mind

You ignored the context of what he said.

A lot of people have been complaining "there's no content" because they don't do the content that they release, because it's either "too difficult" or "too easy".

So what he said was that the content will have variable difficulty. And because of that, it removes the need for two versions of some content, since the difficulty of the one fight is variable.

If they are applying this to variant dungeons as they say, it removes the need for criterion because you can just scale up the difficulty of the variant enemies and increase the amount of mechanics that they do.

well it is sort of fail to have made stuff like blumage and criterion dungeons and the likes and maybe they realize they need more content based on all current jobs instead of small niche things and something all jobs can take part in.

Chaotic better stay in its hole. It's a really bad experience they tried and failed to execute considering it's super niche.

Also, considering that Yoshida is asking directly for feedback once Pilgrim's Traverse is out, it says that he wants to turn the ship around with Quantum. And sure, content might be less, but what would that say about the content itself? Having three different levels of a single content can be equivalent to three different versions of a fight. We already have Normal and Savage for Raids, with Ultimates in their own section, but if they make difficulty this dynamic after feedback, they might be able to make something work.

Of course, this is all speculation - if the content is bad and its systems are bad, then of course it's not going to work. From reading the article, I also took note of Forked Tower - they're not changing Blood at all. They're going to give us stuff in 7.5 for Occult Crescent, but that's going to be after they receive feedback.

By the way, them not having any idea what to make Beastmaster tells me they have no idea what to do with jobs at all. They need to add more people to Job Design considering there's already so many jobs to balance.

Where did they say that?

I feel like OP didn't read the article that he posted :I.
