Time of Final Save Maintenance

What time of day will the final save take place? I want to be there when the curtain closes on this era, but Halloween is on the 31st. I don't think it'd be fair to overlap a huge Seventh Umbral Era event with a holiday where small children are encouraged to interrupt your night asking for candy.

Be like the reclusive old people in my neighborhood. Lights off. No candy.

It ends on the 1st, not the 31st.

There isn't going to be a "huge 7th umbral era event". the servers are just going to go down for maintenance and your save data will be locked in. Enjoy Halloween.

if its japan time its about 15-16 hours ahead of the usa west coast depending on if your on daylight savings time.
so my guess is 12 noon japan time, thats the middle of the night here. which will be Nov 1st

i'll have eaten all the candy i bought for them by the time holloween comes. i tend to buy what i like lol, trix and kit kats and i am seriously gobbling them up all day while i play. though yeah i would love to be online on the very second the game tosses me on my keester. will be a fun moment for all ...lol.

they should verify an exact time, in all time lines in writing so we can all be there if want to.

As far as I can recall every single non-emergency maintenance has been on the same time so I would guess this is the same.

How do you know this? Why would they leave the servers up for 10 days, take them down then bring them up again unless something was going to happen? They'd have an easier time leaving them up. I'm actually expecting something during that period, because if they have to shut them down for a few days after it means they'll revert the world to a safer point in history. If something happens right before the final save I don't want to miss a beat.

If you're either too dense or too ignorant to read the lodestone newspapers, you probably don't know that all three Grand Companies are converging on Mor Dhona. So far we have seen nothing of that, so it'll either happen just before the final save or during the 10-11 days of unsaved play time thereafter.

Most likely nothing will happen before the final save. The interesting stuff will probably take place during the 10 days after that; its the only reason I can see to keep the servers up for that time.

11/1 at the usual time

I imagine that either the meteor will be sitting on top of us smiling for destruction on the next days

OR..

That will be when we see the end of the world as we know it. At least until it comes back up.. :P

Usually maintenance is performed in the morning in Japan, so the date posted on the English side is 1 day behind -- i.e. if the maintenance were happening on Sept 1 in Japan, it would be stated as Aug 31 on the English announcement.

But for saving the data, both the English and Japanese announcements say November 1, so I figure it may happen at the end of the day in Japan, equaling the morning of Nov 1 in North America.

That's just how I read it, though.

I would like a confirmation on the actual time for maintenance on the 1st of November to put my mind at ease that I'll have everything done by that time.

Just a small post to confirm the time would be most excellent.

There will be an event after the final save and patch on the 1st. I read your first post to mean you thought something was happening before the patch but it is after the patch and the servers are up for 10 days to give people a window in which to experience it in case they can't play right after the patch.

Only reason is being brought back up is because of the handful of people who wants to continue playing the game even though nothing saves.

... It's something called... maintenance? They need more than just a minute or two to copy out all the save data to begin the exporting process... The lore and such that's been released is just setting the stage for 2.0- it doesn't imply a patch or something happening. I'm not holding my breath.
