Unfortunately, Yoshida got it in his head they were releasing too much and delayed Heaven on High. The devs have a real bad habit of assuming people play the game differently than we actually do. Sure, there are plenty of people still lagging behind on story content, but don't punish the ones who have remained caught up and want something to do in FFXIV. What they should do is release Heaven on High with Ultimate, thus giving both hardcore raiders and more casual players something.

Personally, I really dislike this new staggered release approach they've taken. It just highlights how lacking some patches feel.
