What would be ideal Patch Cycle? (Long forum post)

Let's assume they will release the content based on the past release patches. This would mean:
7.3 - Exploration Zone
7.3 - New Deep Dungeon
...HUH?

Not only is content is held back until later- It seems purposeful to make the player Nr go "BOOM" once the cycle 7.3 is thrown with all the hidden endgame content at once and collectively targeting FOMO players to lock them in until 8.0- then consider it a "succes"- I see what you are doing.

DD and Exploration are endgame and in the past were released at the same patch nr but different expansions. So I want to bring up ShB (NOT about MSQ quality- fact they hired writer from "Love Story" with no past FF14 background says enough)

RESTORATION: We had Restoration through the entire explansion of 5.x alongside field exploration. Island Quest said "Garlean restoration is soon upon us, we make preparations" I did not realize I did the MSQ first, then Island quest second. It made more sense to do Island first, then the MSQ, realizing the alliance with Radz was the restoration..


My "ideal" idea of Patch cycle:
Be mindful I put x.1~x.1.5 so whatever comes first or in what order is irrrelevant. (I may be all over the place, so feel free to add your idea of patch cycle). I wish Mr Happy made his own version, he seems experienced what is healthy for the game.

Patch cycle:
x1~1.5: Island Sanctuary & Chaotic ALONGSIDE Savage restriction lift & Deep dungeon As for Island Sanctuary: at least release new items for the BLUE SCRIPT to exchange- don't offend us by using island sanctuary as endgame since it doesn't involve aby gameplay- It's an ingame "Tataru coins" NFT ft."gamepass" by ASSIGNING few NPCs to play the game FOR us and gain some useless coins. (Sigh)

x.2~2.5 Field exploration, Limited job,Variety dungeon (+update blue...)

x.3~3.5 Another Deep Dungeon, Limited jobs updates (I wish 2 Deep dungeons in the future, very much!)

x4~4.5) field updates & (Small or medium) scale Restoration (won't happen anyway) type content idea for in the future... This could be even if it is a sidequest or a small instanced thing.. at this rate we got too many "ruined" zones and the feeling of the game feeling "ruined" is a bit on the nose. So let's restore them.

Every other patch:
Please include at least once or twice miscalenious items for exchange PVP crystals... I wish for dye you can only get from ARR tribes.

Anyone could mix and twist these in different orders - which, feel free I'd l ove to see.
If you got new content idea, add it in the cycles too. There is a lot I did not include (such as PVP/ranking/Savage/ultimates/Alliance/Chaotic etc)I am unfamiliar with the actual patch releases, so I did not want to confuse the usual. Thank you.
