Do the devs honestly think FFXIV is some kind of hardcore raider community that’s queuing up on a national [Western] holiday* to do the newest raid? ‘Sorry family I can’t see you all this year I have to fight Cloud of Darkness but harder this time’ lol.

Who is this content even for? Don’t savage raiders have all their BiS by now anyway? (I genuinely don’t know lol). And casual players probably aren’t interested in BiS anyway, especially in a game like ffxiv where horizontal gear optimisation offers minuscule overall performance increases at best.

*And before anyone comes at me I am well aware Christmas isn’t celebrated to nearly the same extent in JP as it is in the west and thus it’s not as big a deal over there for release dates etc.
While true (along with what supersnow said), this is a worldwide game that there's hundreds of thousands of people that play in countries where traveling for the Christmas/New Year's season is common to the point that only some people even bothered to log on to try it. When I'm seeing low amounts of PFs ON AETHER it was a bad idea from the start.
But yeah I wouldn't be so annoyed if there was literally any other content except something I do in 5-10 mins weekly (the custom delivery).
