Sometimes it's just not ready to be released sooner.
This is fine, but I feel like people forget that the community was once okay with the longer patch cycles, under the belief that it would result in a better product. CB3 had something called "goodwill" back then, from the majority of its fans. Back to back baffling and poor decisions between DT's MSQ, the utter debacle that was the blacklist, the continued deletion of class identity while also doubling down on mistakes like PCT's overtuning, keeping fights or jobs imbalanced despite the insane homogenization, continued ignoring of annoying glitches or QoL issues, all while stuffing full a cash shop along with SE's glorious leader going on about NFTs and everything else absolutely obliterated that goodwill where it stood.
