We're going to get GTA 6 before 8.0

Probably because the game was in a better state in the past, so waiting wasn't much of an issue as it is today.

Releasing 8.0 faster will lead to the game being in a better state?

I'm not saying that. It's not even directly related to the root of the issue.

They really can't let people linger in a bad expansion just with the promise "Look Forward To It" that everything will be good in 8.0.

They can take as long as they need to release a good product, however by not doing anything with the present, they lose the trust that people will wait. They had this trust before, and an expansion like Shadowbringers was really good, even with all the logistic chaos caused by Covid.

We know literally nothing about what is to come in 8.0, not even the jobs - allegedly the expansion's highlight. And here I'm not asking for a concrete preview showcasing stuff, no, but more like a concept talk. We'll probably get that by the JP Fanfest, with actual details only with the Media Tour. Something 1.5 years from now.

But the only reason people gave Shadowbringers "good trust" was because of it's story. Everything you might be disappointed about FFXIV now can be traced back to Shadowbringers, Endwalker and Dawntrail just doubled down on it's structure because they think "that's what works".

This isn't as bad an expansion as you guys make it to be, especially post-patch, and they are adhering to their schedule. You're gonna hear about the new expansion after 7.4 like any other expansion that came before it, just be patient lol.
