is this game near the end of it's life?

[Critical-Limit]

I've been reading the whole thread

I agree.

It makes me wonder if they ever think

"Hey what if we bring back titan ifrit and Garuda, they get to reuse assets, so they won't have to design more have a story where for some reason the beast men work together and you need something from them to make the weapon. Make it where you have to fight both titan and Garuda at the same time with combo
Mechanics.

Imagine titan dropping rocks on the ground. And every so often Garuda will do a tornado move that rotates the rocks around the arena. So you have to pick up rocks and place them in a pattern so when they spin around they don't hit people. I doubt development would take THAT much of a hit. It's just reusing assets and making a fresh experience. Rather than... Go back and do this 800 times.
