dev puts lots of effort in to the setting and locations. usually adds new monster to fit new locations if need be. changed "battle" poses depending if youre standing or not in recent patch. thats huge. im not sure if you realize how much time it takes to draw a new pose, and ensure all animations work with it, and doing any necessary edits on the animation parts.
Even if updates are far, the game has lots of content that it wouldnt matter anyway. Theres lots to do and have fun with ; )
