Anything can happen was true of many of the original Vanilla WoW dungeons but they're just a memory now. Blizzard ended up streamlining them and later dungeons (unless they changed dungeon design since I quit at the end of Legion). Even when I was still playing, you knew what was going to happen for boss mechanics and players had figured out a most efficient route (including what trash had to be pulled and what could be skipped). They weren't anymore engaging than FFXIV dungeons by the time I quit.

WoW really isn't any better when it comes to the amount of content available in open world zones, they just do it differently.
Translation: WoW did this thing a decade ago, so we made it worse and you're supposed to like it because...come on, who likes WoW, am I right fellas? FFXIV might be lacking in a certain area, but...look at WoW!

the game appears to be mostly meeting expectations in the JP player base. It is a JP game, not a western game after all.
Translation: You see, in the Land of the Rising Sun, the mysterious Japanese do things differently. Learn the ways of the samurai, baka gaijin.
