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

What he meant is that everything on that list should be implemented by the end of the summer. So it will all be done for August/September.

The Japanese version also says basically "until summer 2011." He bolded it for emphasis for a reason.

The same debate popped up with this wording:

Quote:

---

At the following time, we will be performing maintenance on FINAL FANTASY XIV corresponding to the upcoming release of patch 1.16.

---

People, for some reason, believe it means something other than implementing the patch, which is why they changed it to:

Quote:

---

t the following time, we will be performing maintenance on FINAL FANTASY XIV to implement patch 1.17b. During this period, FINAL FANTASY XIV will be unavailable.

---

So until he corrects it, it's basically saying from now until summer they plan to pump out these changes.

"until summer 2011." That is going to bug me now, what does that even mean!

Overall, I am please with the letter. If everything gets implimented like it sounds (I say this as an optimist, not a pessimist), there will be so much depth to this game, just like a Final Fantasy should be.

With more to come. :)
