The info is actually botched on the "Information" page. On the JP Lodestone it lists the following:
日 時：2012年11月1日(木) 6:00より14:00頃まで
This would make the correct time for the final save maintenance Wednesday, October 31, 2012, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. (PDT) / From October 31, 2012 (Wednesday), 21:00 (GMT) to November 1, 2012 (Thursday), 1:00 (GMT).
And as I checked for the GMT time, I see they fixed that error on both the EU and NA pages, lol. -

The final hour is on the 11th, before the LFTP Live. At some point after that, the 30%+ that voted to keep the servers up will "need to ignore the inconsistencies in story line."
Knowing SE's capabilities, until I see what LFTP XXXV talks about or it's November 12 and the joke's on me, I'm expecting something to happen.
What part of the current story could be contradicted when we can access the servers again after the 11th? What, they're going to spend software engineer time to remove Dalamud, Atomos, the Undead etc so that people can hang out together? Why bother?
We don't yet have the whole story. Nobody knows when or if we'll actually get it, but the hints are out there. Yoshi can easily say don't mention client update in the data save notice so that people don't speculate about it.
Or on the 12th, he can just say never mind, the grand finale was all just a prank, LFTP XXXV was a joke, just ignore all that stuff in the tabloids because it's all just about getting the shiny purple-named things and damn all that scrolling text is annoying. Yea. Just uninstall on the 31st. -

In the final hours of erozea, Dalamud will gently kiss the planet and drunk moogles will step out to greet the bewildered citizens.
After much drink and wild celebration the moogles will tell the players ARR was a joke and 2.0 is never going to happen.
Then for some unknown reason moogles will be extinct and we will leave erozea in search of Epoch* so we can escape this hell.

Something is going to happen after the maintenance. You can lose all the faith in SE that you want, but it's silly to think that they would so thoroughly set up a climactic event and then just do nothing.
Dalamud has been falling for months and now it is about to strike the planet's surface. The Twelve are about to be summoned in a last ditch effort to prevent Dalamud from destroying us all. The Garleans have gathered, and are about to launch a final major assault, and the Grand Companies and adventurers (us) need to hold them back to allow the summoning to happen.
That's where we are right now. I mean, you can look at it however you want, but that isn't an ending. The climax has yet to happen. -

In before it's nothing more than a final cutscene you can watch at the Inn~

10-23-2012, 04:44 AMRoukiz.... But then it turned out nothing indeed ever happened! And all loose ends were briskly tied and brushed under the carpet within the opening fmv sequence of 2.0. S'ALL I'M SAYINNN..Quote:

Yoshi stated that if the servers went back up for us after the 11th (which the poll has now shown that it will), that players who logged in would have to ignore the fact that the world would then conflict with the story.Quote:
