I know what you mean, and i have basicly the same opinion like you.
But what really triggers me is the fact that no matter what Ocean would have done with the update/rework, some people wouldn't have cared at all.
The update was too short, too long, the model is no longer to my taste, the story is suddenly different, false information is spread that this release would have been unnecessary because it only contains filler content or it would already be the umpteenth rework and so on.
Ocean is well aware of the content/time ratio and has also said so in the discord itself. The whole thing from duds who you don't see in the thread for months, but come crawling out of their hole after an update, talk everything down and immediately throw around the term milker in an almost inflationary manner. Only to then (fortunately) piss off again until the next update and the game starts all over again...
