November? really?

The issue is that the expansion effectively removed more content than it added.

This is for another thread though.

From Relevancy, I would agree - provisionally. We would have to disregard the entirety of leveling content and focus purely on the endgame comparison to reach your conclusion.

*shakes his head at people who say 3.0 didn't offer much*

Three new jobs, increase level cap with new skills included (and crafts to cover the increased level cap), unsynced party (ie solo dungeoning), loads of new dungeons, new primals, flying, new zones, new city, new idle town, new gear, new hunts, new quests, new gathering systems, FC crafting, airships... am I missing more? Probably.

If anything, we're very spoiled with how much we get in the patches (how many games would give you something like Gold Saucer in a patch?), some of them are near-expansion-quality in themselves. I have no issues with lack of content and I play a lot. I was told by someone the other day about how in WoW you're lucky to get a patch of FFXIV quality ever. Everything is expac except bug fixes and balancing, so I'm told.

If I played any other game as much as I play FFXIV, I'd probably be bored.

Thanks for posting this!

Avoiding a temporary drop in subscribers and a whole lot of complaining on the forums.

vs.

Much-needed personal downtime after working a grueling development cycle, the neglect of which could lead to numerous issues including long-term health problems and strained relations with family and loved ones.

{Hmmm.}

I'm happy it will pop only on November. I'll have time to complete my esoterics set that I still only have 2 parts since I had to level from scratch after the expansion. I feel sorry for the ones who have time and are on par with the content.

I mean, this was predictable as soon as people datamined the Halloween stuff in 3.07.

Yea I kinda feel like they coulda given us something in early october. Maybe just the beastman dailies and 2 new dungeons. Then the rest coulda came out later. Not sure how much they have developed already but oh well

I agree with you, I'm sure they deserve some time off. But if they plan on having long periods with no patches they should give people things to kinda grind towards. Ex roullette will only go so far. Overall I'm not upset because I'm still plugging away at the crafting stuff.
