    • One normal and one EX trial (Final Steps of Faith)
    • Palace of the Dead (First part, to gauge its popularity)
    • Fields of Glory (Shatter) frontline map
    • Alliance Raid (Weeping City of Mhach)
    • The Aquapolis
    • Warring Triad sidequests
    • Hildibrand sidequests
    • Anima sidequests, and its next step
    • Beast tribe quests (Moogles)
    • Raid Finder dyea
    • Other updates (Gnath/Vanu gear added to the respective beast tribes, Flowerpots/Flower vases, more housing wards, new DoH/L gear, dyeable Dreadwyrm gear, etc.)

    If 4.3 is the unusually large patch, than what do you make of a patch that's pretty much equal in size (or larger, since I don't really agree with throwing a crossover event as being part of the actual patrch)?

    The difference being that 3.3 wasn't nearly as spread out as 4.3x will be.
    TBH the only thing pulled out was one dungeon, aquapolis (there's already two of these areas anyway in SB and it's being updated next patch) in exchange for the 2nd area of eureka and an ultimate trial. Honestly I think they put more effort into the Namazu tribe than moogles. (You can do them as a gatherer in addition this time) The story this time for HoH is lame, and PoTD actually had a somewhat functioning one but wasn't that great either. The hard floors for PoTD didn't release until 3.35 so they spread that patch out, too. They also added a ton of housing wards in the previous 4.2 patch. For PvP, they already added Rival Wings, a new map and spending most of their time making the pvp team thing/tournament. If we aren't counting MHW collab, it's a wash to me. It's mostly the same stuff, just spread around. Depends on how much you value that extra dungeon I guess.
