While it's a bit disappointing for people who did have to schedule for time off to dedicate some time to play, it would be worse off if the game was released in a mediocre and unfinished state, the Devs know it's mediocre and unfinished, and the whole game gets thrown out the window and get bad ratings for being released in its current state.
Not to mention, can you imagine taking time off on your hard-earned rest days only to play a mediocre and unfinished game you were looking forward to for a long time? While this is a painful experience for anyone who can't change their time off, at least it's not the worse experience we can have. Flashbacks to ARR 1.0 days is enough for me to understand the dev's position in all of this.
If anything, I just hope Yoshi P gets some sleep. He looks like he needs it the most.

Given that the reason for the delay is to make sure that the story/lore/gameplay is super in sync b/c this being the finale to an 11 year story arc is that important to Yoshida.... I;m actually more hype. XD I didn't know I COULD be more hype, but here it is.
Its just two weeks, anyway. /shrug
Definitely feel for people who can't reschedule their PTO, though. -

Wow, with that logic in your first sentence, be sure to remember that the next time you have a planned family vacation scheduled to go somewhere and your flight gets delayed or cancelled, or you miss excursions or other important events you paid for get delayed or cancelled. Just remember that you arranged and scheduled the vacation days for it, however “schedules are never a guarantee”, and you only have so many days for your vacation, so you can’t reschedule. Just remember to not get upset and blame the airline company, or the hotel, or the cab driver or the tour company over it. After all, you are the one who took arranged for your vacation, not them. Be bigger than the rest of us.

I, for my part, am suprised it is just a 2 Weeks delay, i am not a Game Dev, but i dont think there are any large scale adjustments being made in those 2 weeks.
Those better be some Job tunings for the better for once, i really would love it to enjoy healers again. -

It isn’t the only time in our lives that we will be able to play the game, don’t be ridiculous. However, our time off was ear-marked for playing the game. Now it is too late to do anything else with it. It is too late to buy a plane ticket to go anywhere because of cost, hotels are booked up, etc. It would have been nice to have had a heads up to either change our days off around, or at least be able to come up with an alternative plan when we could have possibly bought plane tickets cheaper to do something different or go somewhere. The delay doesn’t make the game unplayable for any of us. What it did do however, is turn our time off into wasted PTO/vacation time that is now unusable for anything else this close to the holidays.

Honestly all the seasonal events are lackluster and dismal prizes not really worth anything. I get delay's may happen but I also hold people to their word on getting something out. It's like being in school and having a project done by a certain date. Can't ask for a extension from the teacher they will just look at you and say it's your problem what have you been doing kind of feelQuote:
