1.22 on 4/27 ... or maybe not.

Well, some news here I guess.

Bien sûr, l'idéal serait le jour où un canal de discussion multi-villes est mis en place, mais qu'en pense Yoshida à ce sujet >_>
Vivement ces QM pour l'instant, encore une dizaine de jours en théorie !

Merci !

The link in the first quote shows a "Rep Hallwadur" stating 1.22 is coming 4/27.

That seems to have prompted the second quote saying, in short, "maybe but not officially."

Did a GM let the cat out of the bag or is SE thinking a delay to after Golden Week?

I know it might be just a PR move, but it seems strange they'd bother to respond if things were going as planned and the update only was a week away.

Here's a full translation of what Youkomon said:

Hello!

A little precision (clarification?) on the release date of update 1.22. For the moment no date is final as no official announcement has been made (via the forums or Lodestone). It is still anticipated that the update 1.22 will be available by the end of April but the 27th is only an approximation.

Thank you!

Seems about right.

No complaining from me.

Hope they make it!! XD

It may also be just a case of C.Y.A.

While internal memos may say, " patch on 4/27" they may not want to let that out to the public over a week before just on the off chance that something COULD cause a delay and thus might not want to officially announce it until they are closer to the release date.


Basically someone let the cat out of the bag, and they're trying to cram it back in so they aren't caught with their pants down IF something goes wrong.




Edit)... Maybe I should read edits.... IGNORE ME!

Didn't sound like an approximation by the GM! Hahahahaha!

Nothing new... Yoshi P already said that end of april was an ideal approximate considering some JP holiday...

Would explain why we haven't seen the poll data yet.

Poll data is waiting on Yoshi-P's next letter, seems his next letter is waiting on a solid date for 1.22 still.

i still think the Garuda contest indicates they were on track for a week of the 23rd release at the time of the 13th.
If that's the case, then any delays enough to change that should be a 1.22/1.22a issue ... i hope.

That was my thought. The last letter made it seem like 1.22 was definitely coming out prior to Golden Week since several things had the 1.22a annotation.

And your correct, the Garuda contest corroborates that.

It will be delayed. It's always delayed.

Technically, it's already been delayed. The original roadmap was for mid April.

This is really just a simple case of the GM not being informed properly on whether or not that date had become public. This is literally how a PR team says "Oops, we weren't ready to announce that." As another poster has already stated, they simply weren't ready to announce the date yet, because you generally don't want to announce a set date until you're 100% sure. So there's really no indication of whether or not there's an additional delay from this, instead, it's just an indication that they weren't ready to announce the date.

Also, poor GM.

I hope that GM don't get in deep trouble lol

Actually it seems like we are waiting a while before we see that poll data.

However next producer letter is planned to be about campaign as Yoshida P stated in this post, so it will the letter after that but we didn't forget about it so please look forward to it :)

Wow, that most be a pretty big letter if he's forgoing the poll data to focus on it.

I do hope we see it soon.

Supposedly he is talking about 2.0 and a campaign to bring new players to the game.

The time between letters isn't really set, so we could get two letters within a few weeks of each other (or less.)
