Final Fantasy XIV: Producer's Letter Details Team's Work

The tenth edition of the Final Fantasy XIV producer's letter has arrived on the FFXIV Lodestone with an impressive chart of features and enhancement the team is working on. Included in the massive list are items that have already been implemented, a list of things the team is currently working on and things that are scheduled for later inclusion.
1.18 will see levequest balancing go into full swing, starting with revisions centered on rewards. As for crafting and gathering, we’re tweaking existing recipes and adding brand-new ones for crafter gear ahead of the summer. I’m pleased to say we’ve concluded our feasibility study for the Materia crafting system (though the name is still tentative), and will soon hammer out the details for the UI and start working on the data.
Now, there’s one new item on the list that fans of the FINAL FANTASY series wouldn’t have missed: the long-awaited battle with the primal Ifrit is on the way! But that’s hardly where it ends. We’ll be summoning forth more and more primals in the future, so keep an eye out for further announcements.

Ifrit was not already in the game at the time of release?

I was finally able to reload this game and see what's going on. Some of the latest changes were nice but damn was it empty on my server playing for an hour during US prime time. Not 1 shop up or person in the market wards, 2 people outside the city, and just a handful of afk people in the quest giving pub and that's really the only people I ran into.
The game has been free of charge yet it's still not worth playing until it's completely revamped. I haven't touched it since the first month of release and have no plans to unless the game goes through an entire relaunch and I get to test it out (since I wasted money the first time).
Don't get me wrong, I really want the game to turn around because FFXI is one of my favorite MMOs in general but XIV has no substance worth diving into atm.
The server I'm on has a decent number of players, I'm only at very low level though. The problem I'm having as a total FFmmo newb the game isn't exactly intuitive and just working out where I can and can't go is a bloody nightmare, took me 3 days to get out of the sodding city.
