It really does not take long (an hour or two) to make an animation for an emote or to sew two pieces of cloth together to make a bikini in a design program. There is no excuse for it.

I'm sure we'll get a new Mogstation glam though.
Usually events before the new expansion drops is more lackluster since all the development focus is going towards making sure the next zones/battle systems/etc. is complete and with as little bugs as possible.

Let's also not forget that this is the only expansion where the story is set to end by 6.0, not 6.3 where all expansions usually have 3 extra patches to wrap up loose ends and complete the expansion's narrative.

This is the only expansion where the post-patches from 6.1 onwards is the start of a new story arc. 3 patch cycles is a lot of extra time for the dev team to conclude the story, and this time they don't have that added bonus, so they have to it's fair to assume they're putting a lot more effort in the storytelling/music/timing to ensure the Zodiark and Hydaelyn arc gets a satisfying resolution.

That, and 1 additional race.
