    This includes a lot of planning and balancing on top of the presumed new 60-70 skills. Considering this, I can totally understand why they are limiting it to two new jobs - as throwing another job in the mix would just multiply the amount of planning and balancing by a good chunk.
    I was thinking this and also the push to increase the inventory system to the limit would take /a lot/ of resources, imaging at least they have to rework many systems and go over code that may have been put together in a way that is now not easily modifiable lol (to get ARR out ASAP). Would be cool if they were able to get a glamour book out of it.

    If I want to nitpick a little, I'd say that the burden is not the same when you design three new jobs while releasing an additionnal job than when you just do three new jobs.

    But, hey, we'll see in February.
    I agree. There's a difference between releasing four jobs versus releasing three jobs even if that fourth job is released a bit prior to the other three. Their development would have to be in parallel for at least part of the development and strain development resources further. And of course it's been nearly two years - the developers may have changed their mind since then.

    I'm also hoping that the editted twitter post that indicated "two" jobs also an error on the "number of total jobs bit" as I would like to see three jobs personally. As you said, we'll see in February.

    I'd rather they do a handful of things well in Stormblood than bloat the game with content people will ditch within a month. It's way too soon to throw stones.

    What do people even think they are accomplishing from posts like these?

    I don't mean to "accomplish" anything. I made the topic so I could voice my concerns about the game's future, a game I love and play everyday. Mind you, I'm not even complaining - Stormblood will be a day zero pre-order for me, as will the next expansions they release - because I am loyal to this franchise since the first game I played and I've played all the FF titles I could get my hands on; it's a legit concern, because since Heavensward released we only lost players, and I don't want to think that they would not only repeat the same mistakes with Stormblood, but also make it worse by releasing even less content.

    I've thought long and hard about stormblood and what we're getting and I'll tell you what I think we're going to get.

    A main story quest from 60-70.

    A few dungeons to do from level 61-69.

    A dungeon needed for the main story at 70.

    Two dungeons at 70 for the ex roulette which will get moved in to a level 70 roulette once we get the next two dungeons for the ex roulette.

    Three 24 man raids following a storyline.

    An 8 man raid with 4 turns to supplement gearing up while farming new tomestones that cap at 450 a week and will cycle as we get new tomestones. In addition the fourth step of the raid will require clearing it 7 times over 7 weeks to get a weapon. They will also have a Savage mode variation to clear.

    2-3 initial primals that are part of the main storyline and have an EX mode that drop weapons and mounts. 2-3 new primals added in a side storyline with an optional EX mode.

    More hildibrand quests.

    Some new sidequests and stories they decide to add.

    A new relic weapon.

    Do you see what I'm getting at here?

    Complaining after the fact is helping how?
    Its like some one kicked your ass and later you say "i will show him next time".
    You need to say this things befor the fact not after.

    You forgot the most dreadful part : Mandatory tome farming every 6 months (at worst) to even unlock the new content.
    I've already decided that, should it still be there, I would only play for one month each new major patch, and suspend my account for the two remaining months inbetween.
