This. Yoshi-P and his team spent so many years building amazing player relations and goodwill, but the past 3 expansions have cut corners left and right.

I love ShB, but let's be honest here - the fantastic MSQ masked A LOT of it's shortcomings.
Unlike SB just before it, ShB did not have:
1. A deep dungeon
2. A limited job
3. Heroic modes of old dungeons
4. Job quests
5. Hildibrand
6. Old trial gear for the new jobs
7. Old gear working on the new races
8. Probably more I'm forgetting!?

It's only true excuse was one less Ultimate due to COVID - everything else is usually there on release - but in ShB it wasn't.

And in EW it was even LESS with the entire trial quest series omitted and merged into the MSQ, the field zone missing and the relic being a vendor weapon.

I wonder what changed in development during this time and especially during EW's patches, hmm..
