It would just be nice to know something substantial you know?

We've had the outlines a week ahead of time this year too.

As a rule of thumb- everything from letters I and III should be implemented by May. If that's not the case, they fail and there's nothing to see here, move on.

at least we'll have easter event!!

Look for 1.17 to be the easter event and the V2 mob data icons plus some user interface tweaks. Don't expect much more. It's going to be pretty disappointing if you get your hopes up.

Look for 1.17a to be a technically-we-were-telling-the-truth-when-we-said-it-was-in-preparation-for-PVE-content kind of thing with next to no impact. Like...sleep potency has been adjusted. SP gains for 8 man parties have been adjusted. The way X behaves in an instance has been adjusted.

I think you mean seven years. :)

No. No. Yoichi Wada has been runnin that **** in the media for WAY longer than 7 years man.

Somebody is taking things to personally. ::eye roll::
For all we know battle adjustments maybe in 1.17 (some of it.) along with easter event. then 1.17 is the rest of it. may is the rest of the battle adjustment + content.

We don't know. (that is just my guess based on evidence) If not oh well every change is 1 step closer :)

I am just tired of this anticipation. For real, I wanna know how the battle plans are coming along. I could care less about content, I wanna know how the game is going to change. Some kind of insight: pictures, videos, another letter outlining how battle will go... You know, the future of the game :/

Sorry, I'm being greedy.

As well as change the incon also.

I much rather do wait and see instead of ppl over speculating things and being dissapointed.

Everyone knows about that, but I mean what are they actually testing in the upcoming patch. before they released 1.16a, they had almost exactly what they released in the 'testing in progress' Forum, so we all knew more detailed of what to expect. thats what we want to see.

I'm usually patient, but seeing FFXI having so many updates this week is getting to me.

Yeah I try to be patient and optimistic as well but seeing all the juicy things that FFXI is getting, all those update teasers this week... and no news for us on FFXIV yet. Kinda disappointing.
I know it's a different development team and I know the FFXIV dev team is busy with redoing the basics, but 6 months in some of us do kinda wish that these silly changes to the basics could be done already so we could get actual content for once. Like those voidwatch battles FFXI is getting, seems fun. :)
