"And because of this new direction, it could be that the overall [amount] of content that we implement in the game goes down. But in doing so, we hope that many more players will be able to enjoy the content that we implement."

LMAO don't even think about huffing the 8.0 copium LOL

I guess, as a compensation for less ingame content, they will increase the amount of content in the cash shop.

Old news. They're planning activities that have wider appeal, so they will need to develop fewer niche activities overall.

Guess Chaotic will be a one time thing. Not that i mind

Honestly one of the few things I liked about the Chaotic raid was that I wasn't required to look up a certain Hector strat, but instead had to practice with everyone else to overcome it.

Nowadays, I look up the new extreme trial and find every party with the description: "Hector strat", like man that's just boring. And the fault is on the devs for letting it happen.

The formulaic, puzzle-like, nature of the DDR fights just facilitate the over-use of this kind of guide.

I'd rather have more reaction-based fights like they make Alliance Raid mechanics and less puzzle DDRs that requires you to check 134 variables before deciding where the safe spot is.

No wonder why Barbariccia EX is regarded as one of the best trial fights ever made because it actually balances those aspects without leaning heavily to one or another.

You ignored the context of what he said.

A lot of people have been complaining "there's no content" because they don't do the content that they release, because it's either "too difficult" or "too easy".

So what he said was that the content will have variable difficulty. And because of that, it removes the need for two versions of some content, since the difficulty of the one fight is variable.

If they are applying this to variant dungeons as they say, it removes the need for criterion because you can just scale up the difficulty of the variant enemies and increase the amount of mechanics that they do.

I don't think this bit applies to V&C well since one is more of a go-with-the-NPC chill thing and the other one is a dungeon tuned up to be hard. Unless putting it on the hard mode removes the NPC entirely but then I wonder how they'll implement that.

They have said repeatedly they will be doing a Pilgrim's Traverse-type system for Variant, and also said it in the link.
