This horse has been beaten- please update old Ultimates with new job weapons

It's coming. The question is when. I would have expected it for some this patch considering we got no trial glowing weapons but... no.

Part me is thinking the game is in maintenance mode and running on bare minimum resources because they are working on FFXVIII. Thats my copium. And also why I think they are so slow.

And by XVIII I mean, the next MMO.

Traditional MMO are sadly too big risk nowadays. You are better off making mobile games... You can also wonder why there is no WoW 2 but FF14 Mobile in China with global release some day I guess.
The last years felt like value extraction mode, imagine they noticed they need to change again now, because players got finally too unhappy (boy, that took them long), but it is not like there wasn't enough feedback telling them that they are driving full speed against a wall.
The annoying part is, even if they change now, you won't see the results of it till the next 1-2 years probably. But if mobile becomes a success - then why even have a good core game? What do you think the next generation will play? They are all on their phone and press 1 button and are happy lol.

In their defense the mobile game looks fantastic and I might even play it instead of the core game depending on how BLM feels. I don't think mobile is the devil (]pending micro grift) when nowadays you can get a console/PC experience from it. Its a shame they could not make it themselves but, at least they know their own limits I guess.

As for the question of why, there literally has to be young ambitious creators in SE who eant to make their own FF world. Look at Rebirth/Hamaguchi. Maybe they need to stop making the same old guard do everything.
I don't really buy the "it's too expensive" thing that many successful IP devs push out, to be quite honest. New games, new MMOs are constantly being released. It seems to me its moreso a question of desire and confidence. In other words maybe it takes a large investment but they are worried it will not sell.

Idk why I thought my initial edit did not go through. The perils of mobile editing.
