No new Deep Dungeon in Shadowbringers?

[Yencat]

According to the Dengekionline interview with Yoshida they're skipping Deep Dungeon and by the sounds of it will add it in the new expansion, or close to the end of this one. Instead we're getting a type of ranch(?).

I enjoyed Deep Dungeon content so it's a shame to see it go (for now, at least) but curious what the 'ranch-like play' might be like.

――I would like to ask you some questions about future contents. Are there plans to implement “deep dungeon” content that was well received in 3.X and 4.X in patch 5.X?

Yoshida: I 'm sorry, because I'm making a lot of new content, the production cost to go here has disappeared. Actually, I wanted to have a place for leveling in case the next extension package came out ... Even though the project has been completed, the cost of making it is not currently available, so I'm thinking of taking a day off in the deep dungeon. I'm preparing for ranch-like play that I've been talking about for a long time, and since patch 5.3, I'm going to have a lot of content mainly for living.

Remember when they took one dungeon to make "other" content? Now we're in short of another PVE content for another casual crap. We're not even getting new "Eureka" until 5.3.xx. UMBRELLAS and NEW STUFF FOR GPOSE surely was worth it. But hey, LeTS PrETeND TheY MaKiNG NeW TyPe of PVE content, which they don't. My ass just blown away into oblivion. Why do we even need any PVE content in game, just make 4 new arenas for Lord of Verminion or something.
And another wasted opportunity to upgrade a content, make it interesting with a great rewards.

What the hell is ranch-like play?

Might be a funky translation, sounds like a farm? Maybe something to do with minions again?

He says he's been talking about it for a long time but I've never heard anything like that, maybe he means internally.

Might have had some serious internal thought dialogues with himself about it, too.

I really really hope this is not true. Deep Dungeon is some of my favorite content in the game. I’m hoping that they’re “thinking” about not implementing it and that it’s not 100% confirmed they’re not doing it. I’m also hoping that if they’re not going to do a deep dungeon for 5.X that maybe they’ll reconsider if people show support for it. Please bring on the new deep dungeon!

I Love the Deep Dungeons, not only for leveling the job, but its fun to play and try to clear as solo too

Break up with the Scion and use a shrine to turn the kids into chocobos before releasing them for those sweet end game mats.

They just don't have money, little indie company, you know. If people will eat this, they'll will continue cutting content more and more, why investing more money if people happy with what they have. Let's reuse older content like Diadem, cut off one dungeon, deep dungeon, not make 4 new zones for Eureka type of content, new feast maps is not needed, new races are half finished. But hey, we just give people some casual stuff instead, that don't need any investing and they'll eat it and be happy, no complaining. This was supposed to be biggest expansion to date, but seems like all money went somewhere else. I'm more and more disappointed in this company, I don't think it's devs fault, for lack of investment and hands on their side.
