One dungeon per patch!?

[Lambdafish]

For example? Because net code is still hot potato, and ffxiv requirements are going up with PS4 pro having problems to maintain 60 fps.

More housing, more inventory space, glamour dresser, things like your chocobo not being a party member anymore, and IDK, the game being entirely cross server now???? These things take huge backend changes and improvements that didn't exist in ARR.

It's often like they're just throwing out darts almost randomly and hoping they'll learn at least some small part of a lesson later -- in roughly equal portion between targeting grind value (one might say, the lowest form of efficiency), imitation of other game's systems, and defensively applied malicious compliance ("well, you complained about getting too much, so how about too little?!").

I don't think this is true, though I think the reality isn't any better. I think the devs designs do have cohesion, it's just that their implementation takes far longer, and the way that content is sliced into chunks is poorly handled. Take Eureka for example: In hindsight, the grand plan for that content looks good, the original intention was for things like logos actions to be a core part of the experience, but we didn't get them at launch, which (particularly in Pagos) soured the experience because what we were offered was only half the package. A more recent example is Ishgardian restoration, Yoshi P has outright said that this offering isn't the full experience and what players are asking for is already planned.

I think you are right about the learned lessons, but its like they have the cohesive design for 100% and chopping it up into 25% pieces and giving us those (without telling us what the 100% is), what people want is an initial 100% and then to get additional content updates to expand upon that 100%.

Seems like someone don't want to read and just pulling sentences of of context. Don't worry, you will get your new garden stuff or a new game in golden saucer and be happy with it.

Please don't engage with this Linay, it's bait.
