Possible patch delay

[Nakiamiie]

Hey guys. I wanted to come in here with the official translations from Yoshida about the 1.20 patch release date.
Thank you for your patience while waiting for our translations.



And here is his most recent update:

For Yoshi-P, don't worry about "miscalculation" of release dates, 2 days doesn't count as miscalculation.
I much prefer the rough estimate of December 14th than none at all.

Keep up your great work devs!

Lemme guess, you all talking about Skyrim cuz someone stole your sweetroll...

I used to talk about Skyrim like you, but I took an arrow in the knee...

Theres been countless replies where people are saying, "Its fine".

I count that as defending.

I'm just annoyed for 2 reasons.
1) Patch delay has a strong history in FFXIV
2) I'm not going to be able to play until 6 days after the release now and was keen to play 1.20 before then. Its just bad timing.

1) should be used to it then
2) 6 days isnt really that long

I'm surprised I'm not hearing a little more happiness (or any response) from mages. The I, II, III, IV tier system has gone away, and they've gone the FFVIII route of pure 'Base' '-ra' '-ga' spells, all of which scale with your level.

I'm no mage player, but the spell lists for both look pretty damn nice.


Also, as a Gladiator main, I'm seeing options for a lot more teamwork in longer battles. Our seemingly two heaviest hitting WS are best used behind tells me we aren't supposed to have hate in the beginning, and that it's going to be a combined, dual tanking effort.

That, or they just opened up a bit more DD options for GLA.

Now that you mention it, the changes to the spell lists as well as the action and trait lists in general look really good.

I like how the various elemental spells have different effects. While its nice throwing a lightning spell at an obviously water-based enemy, most of the time I'm fighting stuff that doesn't have an elemental affinity. So I just throw out whatever spell I have since they do the same thing. But not anymore. Now I'm going to be able to pick from a variety of elemental spells with different effects, with my choice depending on the current conditions of the battle and the strategy I'm employing.

We won't know for sure until we get a chance to get used to the new system, but right now I think battles could potentially end up being a lot more fun.

I used to go outside, then I took an arrow to the knee. >_>

Seriously, I anticipate the reindeer suits

I'd like to think most of the players agree with me in saying "No problem Yoshi P". I honestly don't mind that it has to be pushed back a day (Well... I do wish I could have the update sooner, but I know it's not possible), but I do appreciate the transparency and openness.

I appreciate being told what's going on, even if it mean a promised release date has to be changed. This openness is what will save FFXIV, so never be afraid to let us know what's up

To bad most ppl gonna think your white-knighting cause of that(lol never typed those 2 words together before....)
but yeah shit happens and sometimes you have to deal with it.

Even though I don't agree with the way they're handling a lot of things, I really do appreciate it when they're being upfront about what's going on. It makes things a lot less frustrating.

You would think more people would appreciate taking the time to issue content right after such a disastrous beginning over a year ago. How soon people forget...
