I get a similar feeling when playing other games and then jumping back into FFXIV. While it's not the best idea to compare single player games to FFXIV since the latter is supposed to be an MMO. It still shows, however, that FFXIV is lacking in gameplay creativity when it comes to mostly the normal and easily accessible content.

Though it may not happen for awhile, I think it would be in the dev team's best interest to start experimenting with content again to see what sticks and giving the "tried and true" formula they been using for over a decade now a much needed shake up.
