This is going to be an out of pocket nitpick, but I really don't feel like they rushed past a void expansion. This IS the same game that introduced a core plot point in HW patch cycle only to keep it totally on the backburner until bringing it back for Shadowbringers. You can also say the same for Domans in the story being introduced in ARR patch cycle but seeing their major relevance in Stormblood, as well as the whole equating loyalty to Varis (in Stormblood patch cycle) to a faith (which once again is not relevant for an entire expansion). FF14 likes to place pieces on the board without feeling the need to then move said piece constantly.
