Meanwhile, the amount of "dungeon-like" content, has... er... not really increased in proportion.

I also remember when new Jobs actually had their old weapon-skin styles filled out, for the sake of providing a complete product to the player.

And when we were somehow able to have both an Exploratory Zone series, and a Deep Dungeon, in the same expansion.

And when new Legatuses actually got custom armors made for them, rather than just throwing together some Bozja gear.

And...

...yeah, FFXIV keeps slowly cutting more and more corners. Or at least, redirecting its resources into more and more places that I don't notice, and I am not interested in.

I'm still pretty happy with the quality of what does get produced (give-or-take an example, depending)... but I do feel like the game inexplicably begins to cut more and more corners, and go budget-mode on more and more resource allocations, even as it ostensibly gains a larger team, larger playerbase, and higher income.

Yep. I remember all of this as well.

Dev time is increasing and we're getting less and less content. And the new stuff they attempt to do they fail at (**Diadem**)

Normal mode raids - success


Deep dungeons - success


Eureka and bozja - success even though some people swear they hate it and they failed.



Ultimates - success


The firmament - success


CC - success - better than feast by miles


Varient and criterion dungeons - success, but need expansions


Island sanctuary - success even if people don't think it lived up to their expectations of instanced housing.
