Thoughts on the new Letter from the Producer? (May 20)

Hmm, I keep reading this part over and over:

This time around, the list contains additions planned for up until summer 2011. You see what I did there with the bold font for emphasis? But anywho, without further ado, feast your eyes on the list in its entirety! (Remember, these are our plans until summer 2011!)

and a part of me is interpreting this as he's planning on having all of the stuff listed or most of it done BY summer.

Well, all the stuff on the list is the plans for until summer, which means that there should be all new stuff after summer. The only ambiguity is if that statement is inclusive or exclusive. In other words, is all that stuff gonna be implemented before summer starts or before summer ends?

Reading the JPN version of the post doesn't make it any clearer. It still says the exact same thing the English translation says.

That would leave him less than 2 weeks, and 1.18 is planned for mid-June, i.e. summer. So you're just thinking into it too much. Yoshi-P might've just made a mistake on the wording and it was then subsequently translated as such.

Perhaps, unless 1.18 is really huge, also we 1.17b coming up Monday. Anyway I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Yeah, the time constraint is what leads me to believe that all the stuff listed will be implemented before summer ends, and that after summer is over, we'll see a new list with brand new stuff.

Loss of physical level... not good. I was hoping it would get a new life with new bonuses.
Jumping examination as been pushed back... meh. I was hoping they would at least examine it before adding lots of new stuff, so they can already plan new things to fit with jumping.

I am pleased with many changes and doubtful with many others, hopefully I'll be wrong on the ones I am doubtful. I just want more character customization, character growth not tied to class ranks (my character is a whole, not a class) and more freedom to do whatever I would like to do (jump, wear anything, engage in fun mini-games, fight meaningful battles with friends, build a true guild with my friends, decorate a home, enjoy shopping in a well organized and seamless market wards, etc.)

I'm sorry for being negative today, but it's how I feel. Final Fantasy XIV is still far from reaching all of its players.

Damn I see tweet from lodestone about producer letter x and srs squealed like a lil' gurl~

Well, sorry, but it's never going to reach you if this is your stance. Player polls asked for physical level to be abolished (rightly so), and there are far more immediate concerns than jumping. Also, theyre turning armor focus to being more class and rank specific so, bad luck.

There's always second life if you want to wear preties and play minigames, though.
