I don't see the issue myself with the base weapon being easy to get, they've all been non-intensive to get except for in ARR due to the bad netcode making Titan HM a living terror. And I can gradually get the other weapons for all the other jobs over time then worry about the ensuing grind later. The content and rewards out of V+C Dungeons are great and I can see it being a fun lowman event for my FC and I can't wait to fill out the lore entries! The Omicron quests are fun so far with some interesting implications (I find them more interesting than the hippo lyfts).

I dunno, I don't consider myself casual since I participate in most of the game's available content and I can see this lasting me until the next patch easily -shrug- for folks with limited scope or interests I can see this being not enough however
