Your first points are nearly all subjective. Yes it might look better from 2.0 but for example still looks bad in some parts (Hiens clothes for example..). CG movies are just there for the trailer and marketing and honestly I dont care if they would get better over time because they dont affect the true game much. And the ingame cutscenes are not that much better. They might show a bit of more reaction but we still nod and punch a lot and the NPCs are still moving weirdly. Story quest is also highly subjective, for most of the time I found the story in HW quite better. The same with music. Yes we have bigger maps but those are so lifeless that I wish that we would have smaller ones that are much more filled with life. The only great map is the Azim steppe for me, all the others dont really hold my interest so again subjective.
The raids feel worse for me too because both of them lean so much on nostalgie and fanservice while at least older raids gave me the sense of being truly part of the world. The worst offender is Omega with it pure FF nostalgie but also the 24 man is not that good imo because I questioned the whole time why the bosses where even there...
Yoshida himself also stated that they need more money and especially a much bigger team. He himself is doing two jobs and would love to step down from one, so yeah their biggest problem is the missing employees. (And a huge amount of their income probably goes back into other games) But I agree with the speed of content consumption and lack of longevity. I would also add that they imo put ressources in the wrong part of the game or try to find complicated solutions or band aid fixes..
They also seem to have a huge problem with getting and using our feedback. Just look at Diadem 1.0 and 2.0. I really hope that Eureka is better than just being 3.0 and hopefully a content that stays alive longer than a couple of months..they really need to make more descisions were they dont need to fix stuff all the time. Instead of having a good housing system from the beginning they have a system that is full of bandaids and even now is far away from perfect. They added a glamour change that barely addressed the problems people have and that need a lot of fixes before its truly good too (and they even said that they have to watch the stabilitiy first so we dont even know if they can fix it everywhere). The MSQ change which should have helped the newer players might hurt them in the long run and annoyed quite some veterans too instead of making it into something that is win win for all players. Perform was released in a bad state and needed a fix right after that which kinda changed the system a lot. We still dont have more egi glamours and Eureka seems to not gather much hype here on the forum either..Content like Diadem (1 and 2) are death, the same with LoV. Such a big amount of ressources wasted on stuff like that..They really need another big hit like PoTD and not another big fail otherwise I will kinda question if they can even create longliving content for this game..
