before ffxiv was released, the old director tanaka, stated that he had a years worth of content ready to be implemented. granted the poor state that the game is in, their priority is fixing and balancing the foundations of the game. once thats done, they can release content already done and also focus their attention on more content. and i do believe that they are using ffxi's time table too. RoTZ was released almost a year after ffxi came out and during that first year, they went through a lot of changes and bug fixing just like ffxiv is going through now. only difference is that they are asking for everyones input (JP, NA, EU players). SE isn't asking what content should be added, but rather what type of foundations would u like to explore that content with.
