Patch seems rather... small

[Lisotte]

Eh it seemed longer to me than most. Beat the MSQ in like 3-ish hours, did the dungeons, ex roulette, unlocked wondrous tails and platoons, and beat sophia normal mode. MSQ was the best it's been since 3.0, the dungeons looked awesome (though were easy), sophia was fun, looking forward to doing wondrous tails. Going to work on alex normal mode soon, then on to sophia ex and savage later this week. Seems like a real good patch to me.

Same here. bought the apartment, unlocked squadrons and wondrous tails, did the MSQ, Sophia and Gubal. Farmed some challenge log entries and the day was pretty much over. Granted it was 12:00 local time when servers came up.

Not short to me at all. I've been playing all day and I'm not done yet. Of course, I've been reading the main quest.

I have really enjoyed this patch a lot more than last patch. The Alex fights are fun a few different mechanics equalling a few wipes. I have done Sophia normal and Wondrous Tales and tried PvP duels. That aside so far its all the little QoL changes I am most impressed with.

By what measure are we gauging the size of the patch? If you're judging by fights, sure it's just a few hours of content. However, if you look at the little QoL tweaks, new tome accrual, wondrous tales thingy, several new tiers of gear, apartments, housing adjustments etc. It's a pretty "big" patch, and should provide things to do for some time. For those who dabble in all the game has to offer, there's plenty of new stuff.

I do, of course, respect that some players may feel short-changed, but have you considered that any content only lasts as long as you let it. That is, if you log in after maintenance with the goal/purpose of clearing everything as quickly as possible, then that's exactly what's going to happen.

That's just my onion served fresh.

OP is clearly not a crafter, and probably doesn't even have an aquarium

Im a mastercrafter, first aquarium listed in my server at the MB at least, and im totally with the OP, the patch is quite small.

[Tizzy_Tormentor]

Barely touched half of it, saving the Scholasticate and Hildebrand quests for when the inevitable content drought happens during the wait for the new expansion, made it up to Xelphatol story-wise and helped a few friends out with the new dungeons, me and my friend just finished our trek through The Creator and are raring to give Sophia a lash. We also are planning to do some more Palace of the Dead.

Many of us are returning players, so we have a few things to catch up on, I do love playing the game, just wish there was more mid-core content (though The Creator was a great step in the right direction, A12 was fierce for a normal mode raid)

[Derio]

I did MSQ up until the new dungeon to unlock roulette, did new primal, finished Alexander, purchased and furnished apartment and crafted several new recipes. Made my squad and have 6 recruits. Didn't touch side quests, didn't finish MSQ.

I did put a dent in the challenge log and wondrous tales.

But for the people who say that the patch doesn't have enough content. Those people will never be satisfied. They could of had 3 dungeons and they still would be complaining

[Yasuhiro]

It seemed smaller to me but at the same time fulfilling? All the content seemed to go at a decent pace, instanced content anyway.
It wasn't like that blunder of a patch 3.1 which was over with within an hour, this one in particular was again, paced well I think, doesn't drag on but it's not "Oh, that's it?"

Only complaint really is Sophia normal being downed really easily. Guess they're being true to the original one from Final Fantasy VI I guess.
