Probably sometime in September because thats when they were giving out those chocobo staffs or whatever they were for transferring your account to a SE account.

Most updates lose their appeal shortly after you log-in and see there is still nothing much different to do than before, as such they will wait till after everyone that has yet to change over to the new payment system will be locked out.
If they release it before everyone will see how crap the update is and they will lose their only hook this month against the disgruntled players.
Well they talk like they will announce it this time around... they generally do announce large updates well in advance by like 1 or 2 weeks. I think that last minor update or one before it was kind of like, "lalalalala, what a nice Friday this is. Such nice weath-" SE ANNOUNCEMENT: Update on Monday!
If they are already releasing infos, I say Sept 5 or 12. Either would be a really good bet. Worst case 19th. And they don't always update on Mondays so could be later in the week on those dates. Either way it's under a month away. And it could be the most important update they will ever do. It could convince a lot of would be quitters into staying, if it's good enough. So, it'd be in their best interest to do it at the end of August or the start of Sept and move any unfinished stuff to the next minor update... assuming what's ready is hot enough to do some convincing.
Yall are pessimists!
SNEAK UPDATE MONDAY!
I'm leaning toward September 5th, especially with the job updates out now. Those are usually among the last of teasers. As is, we're still lacking more info on hinted Merit and WS adjustments. I can't recall if they've specifically posted on Voidwatch progression beyond the Mantis picture, either. Maybe finer details on WoE tweaks if that's this update, as well.
Update will be after next payment. They don't want anyone to test it and decide "I won't pay next month". They rather want all the "I won't use these new services, I'll take a break" people who sit there to think "Maybe I should pay and test this level cap out".
