Lack of content on patch release

[Maeka]

Go play something else then.
Maybe this isn't a game for you.

Hate to say it, but this does hold some truth.

This game was designed to be casual-friendly unlike most MMOs that want to gobble up all of your free time. Yoshi-P himself has said that he wants you to be able to play FFXIV and other games too.

A gamer that hangs in one game and just that one game is going to get bored, burn out, or just become miserable. He wants people to have fun playing the game, and a part of any gamer's healthy fun is variety. Play FFXIV for awhile, get all the content, take a break and play something else for awhile and come back when the next major patch comes out.

That's what Yoshi-P wants you to do.

He wants the more casual people with lots of IRL job hours, etc to be able to keep up. Can't do that if the game asks for 5, 6+ hours a day from you.
