Well it doesn't matter if they talk longer, the better for them, but "2 years" is way off the chart grid. If Alpha is indeed in November them I say a 4-5 months worth of testing ( which is not even close to a year). or was that another hyperbole? :P

The fact remains, a lot of content isn't going to be released until AFTER 2.0 is. Why not push the game back longer(another year) that will give plenty of time for testing, revamping, and what not. Let alone it will give them time to include, ya know, SUMMONER! Also other classes/jobs. If we do have concerns with the beta/alpha it will also give them time to work those issues out as well.
Point is, it's being rushed out again with an unfinished game. If it wasn't going to come out for another year, I wouldn't have said anything about the graphics. The fact that they want the game released by the end of this year/early next year, worries me.
how long did he say it took him to create one set of armor? 6 months? That's HALF of a year for one set of armor. They could seriously take their time, CHANGE the cities and do a ton of other stuff. To me, it looks like an incomplete game once again. 2 years is not farfetched
Considering at the other mmos that are going to be coming out... they really need to take their time and do it right the first time(second time ;) ) lol.
People seem to love to argue for the sake of it recently. Starting to feel the forums are becoming obsolete. Good Arguments are now becoming " My opinions are facts" or " You disagree with me well your opinion sucks". But it's okay as long as SE takes their time to get this game right before releasing it personally I'll be happy. I don't want them rushing it like the last time.
The plan has always been for content to be released after launch in version updates...that's how MMOs work. In FFXI, even after they released expansions it took version updates for all the missions and content to be added.
That's not to say we won't have quests, job content, the crystal tower/maybe labyrinth and others at launch...
