New Content Discussion - What has changed?

Lots of posts lately regarding lack of new content. Personally, I think the game has improved tremendously since launch. There's a ton more content and game modes. IS generally releases a lot of quests and rewards, and even if they re-release of old content there are still some quests to complete. However, I do think the pace of "new" units has slowed down considerably. I think this is what many veteran players are complaining about.

For example, let's take a look at June of 2017:
5/30 - Bridal Banner
6/2 - GHB Camus (Free New Unit)
6/8 - Very first Tempest Trial (Free new unit - Masked Marth)
6/14 - Echoes of Mystery Banner (4 new units)
6/16 - GHB Legion (Free new unit)
6/23 - GHP Clarisse (Free new unit)

So, in addition to the typical 8 new units per month on banners, there were 4 brand new "free" units to geek out about. (Camus, Marked Marth, Legion, and Clarisse)

Now, let's look at December.
12/4 - Children of fate Banner
12/18 - Winter's Envoy Banner
12/26 - Gift of Peace Tempest Trial (Masked Marth released for 3rd time)
12/28 - Legendary Hero - Gunnthra

December - zero new units other than banner units.

So, rather than getting excited every week about a new unit, there are only a couple times each month to get excited about new units. Even when new units are released, you have to get lucky with summoning to get any of them.

Just starting a discussion.

the thing people are complaining about is the recycling of content. it's been almost 3 months since we got a new Grand Hero Battle. they just give us GHB reruns and BHB reruns. it's way too early in the game's life to be recycling so much content

That's not necessarily a bad thing. People who missed out on the content when it started, either because they have made beginners' mistakes on character/team composition, have been unlucky on summoning sessions, or both (in my case anyway) have a chance to get their Hero stables up to snuff. In particular, the rewards for the first Tempest Trial being available again a few months back really was nice.

I agree about recycling the GHB and BHB content. It's ok to re-release some old ones for new players but it would be nice to have new ones as well.

However, I have to acknowledge the new content they are releasing. Sacred Seal Forge, Weapon Refinery, Legendary Hero Seals, change to healer staffs, etc...

I don't know, I guess I have mixed feelings.

They have definitely made good strides in the game. On day 1, there was only one book and 9 chapters, no CC or SA, no paralogues, no TT or VG, BHB and GHB weren’t a thing, no SI or weapon refining or sacred seals, no AA, no supports, a very small roster of characters, and Takumi was regarded as one of the best units in the game. They essentially revolutionized the game by a few changes. In regards to new characters, the one unfortunate thing is that a lot of the most popular characters will get reskinned multiple times over before any new characters get released since most of the most well known FE characters are already released, and IS wouldn’t want to make a crappy banner with characters nobody knows/cares about. There are a lot of characters that can still be released, and many more potentially to be created in-game, but I think for now they need to work on what they have right now rather than try to branch out and create dozens of different things, possibly leaving some projects imperfect or incomplete.
