?? What exactly you're comparing 6.2 with?

The MSQ took around 4 hours (and that was with insta queues for the dungeon and trial), reading the dialogue at a normal pace and not skipping cutscenes.

Raid story, I didn't time it, but together with the fights and the waiting times, it certainly took around the same amount of time as any other raid patch storylines.

The Island feature, while understanding that is not for everyone's taste, is a huge time sink

Savages start next week, and if you're into that, progging is another huge time sink for the average player

There are more CC ranks and rewards to be earned

And in about 2 months we are supposed to get 6.25 which will bring Relic Weapons, Tribal quests and Criterion dungeons, which by themselves can also be time consuming, especially if the Relic weapons are (and certainly will) be gated behind grinding some stuff. Criterion dungeons have the base version with storyline replayability and the harder versions for progging time sinks.

I honestly think this patch got more than the average amount of content.

I haven't done everything the patch offers yet (spending so much time in Island Sanctuary) but it seem like your normal .2.x patch with a dungeon, trial, some msq, new raid tier and with relic quest later in the .2 tier.
It seems to be on par with other expansions.

Not sure what OP expected.

This topic isn't a joke, it's a complete circus.

I think they expect everyone to raid or afk in Island Sanctuary. Should of had Relic Grind.

I'm still waiting for Blue Mage update.

6.3 or 6.4 seems likely for Blue, but obviously they'll announce when they've settled on what they're adding. There was talk of a new play mode. Going forward, I think it's safe to expect one update per expansion cycle.

i cant beleive ffxiv is over

If a person was like amazing 6.2 is going to be huge from all the stuff listed, they are bound to be disappointed. They have a sizable amount of stuff listed for the next patch that is still what 4 to 8 weeks out? People need to expect nothing. Even the fan boys say we shouldn't even expect playable game when we get new content.



Need to lower expectations, you don't want devs to have the whole patch ready when they can push stuff later. Which in turn will allow the fans to claim we got a large patch in .25 so the devs need the even more extra time for the next patch.

The patch isn't "technically" done.
We still have a .5 patch coming I think next week that comes with everything else as mentioned above.

Plus, there is no way you are done with Island Sanctuary or have completed PvP.
