Umbrellas...? And less content...?

[MOZZYSTAR]

Umbrellas were mentioned in these notes.
Does anyone know what they mean by umbrellas? Like equippable parasol-like thingies to protect us from rain or shine? Or umbrella terms or set-ups for systems or... something?

Also, less content (1 dng) per patch now? Does that mean we're getting other content to fill that "void," or are we just getting less content over all now? I think one less dungeon is fine if it's temporary to enable them to catch up with fixing things (legitimately fixing, not breaking), but if it's not for that then... Should we be a little concerned? What's going on? Did they specify why this is happening?


I'm rambling too much. Thanks for posting!

Umbrellas are potentially a mount, they were mentioned years ago as a possibility but nothing came of it. So I reckon they might also be cosmetic.

As for one less dungeon per patch, I do hope it means we get more content elsewhere as well as more character customisation.

Hell yeah fly around like Mary Poppins. XD

They could even re-use the animations from the rideable drones in the nier 24m.

I was thinking the exact same thing! Even had to edit my post because it pretty much echoed yours xD

I hope they are not mounts, it rains in cities too...

Seems like we're getting less dungeons but more content overall. But if you don't like crafting or fishing you probably won't be as excited.

They specifically said they are reducing the dungeon output to focus energy on new kinds of content. Let's wait and see what this is and experience it before we draw conclusions.

Giant zone with FATEs? FATE grind? Monotonous mob grind?

Like we got more casual content when they already killed two dungeons in the expansions before that? Honestly I will only be fine with the decrease of a dungeon if we get more content for the majority..if its just another Ultimate or Eureka like niche content then I wont like that. SE please dont exchange casual content for niche content. Let us have something fun for everyone.

But I am looking forward to Umbrellas as long as they are not behind a paywall or a huge amount of grind..seeing where they put the some of the requested mounts I am remaining skeptical.

We aren't getting less dungeons because of resources, we are getting less dungeons because there are so many in the game and they want to keep content fresh rather than stagnant. Something I agree with. We got a ridiculous amount of content in 5.1 compared to past patches (24 man, Hades EX, Ultimate, Ishgard restoration, BLU, PVP, New game +,massive overhaul of crafting and gathering, and a large number of other changes and additions such as fellowships), so complaining about less content is kinda ignorant if not entitled.

Also did you completely ignore the fact that we are getting an additional trial in 5.2? That alone, regardless of what it is, makes up for a lost dungeon.
