Another interview question about Ultimate

[Theodric]

Pretty much. They've been cutting corners for awhile, it was just more evident in Shadowbringers, at least to me. If they plan to keep the game going for as long as they say they want to, something's gotta give.

Yup. It doesn't help that you have to go digging for information if you want to keep up to date, either. A recent interview, for example, revealed that we won't be getting a Beast Tribe finale quest in 5.5 despite it being a tradition in past expansions. It might seem like a minor thing to many people, though it's just another bit of content thrown to one side.

I'm hoping and expecting that 5.5 and 6.0 will be good. I just...really want more stuff outside of the MSQ's.

Wait, really?
I thought they just reaffirmed we weren't getting another beast tribe in Shadow Bringers.
Can you throw me a link to the interview you were reading?
We must be looking at different translations... or something?

I love those allied quest lines.

To be fair on that front, most tribes added in ending patches have typically been designed to be catch up mechanics for quick leveling crafters and gatherers; or were moogles added earlier... I don't remember, but in Shadowbringers that mechanic was baked into Ishgard restoration. Whether that is for better or worse is another topic. Not that I'm defending the choice to not add a new tribe either.
