During endwalker the time between patches got lengthened by two weeks and the devs did the ususal crocodile tear skit on a live letter about it.
They then proceeded to take even longer than those two weeks between patches and deliver less content.


Because of this I have a hunch we're in for another Crocodile tear session given all the content promised we have left, of which 7.3 doesn't seem to have much of it, meaning 7.4 and 7.5 have going to have to be gigapacked (or the devs lied to us)

For reference we have been promised:
-BLU Mage Update
-Beast Master
-A Deep Dungeon
-Variant Dungeons
-Criterion Dungeons
-A 2nd Ultimate
-A 2nd Chaotic Alliance Raid
-The other half of Occult Crescent, probably with its own version of Forked Tower
-More Phantom Jobs
-3(?) More planets for Cosmic Exploration
and theres more I'm probably forgetting, on top of the usually scheduled formula content like Alliance Raids, MSQ, Extremes, Savages.

This is more content than the game has gotten since Stormblood, from a dev that just told us that a Forked Tower normal mode wasn't possible due to the budget.
Yeah I'm not getting my hopes up here.
