Saw this on Reddit and just felt the need to post it.

I'd love to give a "quick" answer to what the state of the game is recently but it's kinda hard.
In all honesty though, it's the same game as it always was, just new dungeons and higher level gear. SE have been steadily adding more and more content, but it's all just the "same" content (two faceroll dungeons, a trial boss, a raid, etc). And that's been getting people down.
They tried adding something new called Diadem, which was meant to be something kind of akin to dynamis but with a more exploration aspect to it, but it turned out terrible.
That said, in a month or so they're supposed to be adding a "Deep Dungeon", which is supposed to be randomly generated dungeons with progressively harder (and infinite?) floors, forcing your character to Level 1 when you enter and stripping you of your gear. Reminds me of some of the more unique FFXI content -- has me excited to try, at least.
