There are free games with larger and more frequent patch content

Please the lies.
Hoyoverse makes billions of dollars by just releasing characters and even then they beg people that haven't log in in months to comeback and gives you x2 exp,drops and even free gems for pulls. SE have NEVER, EVER give you something for free.

In FFIXV you have poor quality content (same copy-paste formula) from 10 years ago and also poor delivery schedule (every 4 or 5 months to add 5 hours of content to the game).

They barely give anything in return for people spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a single character. People have spent more on a single character in a gacha than most people have spent in the entire lifetime of xiv.
