Considering we're close to a big patch...

...it's awfully quiet on the Lodestone. Would be nice to get another update on the Grand Companies website, at least.

Dude, I'm scared. Coming on the heels of a "blueprint", I think the dev team is soiling their shorts trying to meet the promise of a significant update in 2 weeks. They don't want to tip their hand because they're not holding any good cards.

[Leeloo]

Probably better to not do that, lest they rouse more people saying "WTF is with this Lodestone fluff? Give me my combat update nao!"

If anything they should make some update notes referring to the dev tracker posts about the materia and job system info.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't

No easy way out of the situation they're in, that's for sure.

I don't pity them.

They made the bed. Now they have to lie in it.

Don't get me wrong, I want them to succeed. Wouldn't be here if I didn't.

Everyone has their hopes up so high for patch 1.18. Just dont :P

It will be a big patch but not the infamous golden patch. By the end of Summer we should have a great deal of new stuff but not unitl then. So I foresee patches 1.18. 1.19, and patch 1.20 for be quite large...hopefully.

Well at least it should be a bigger patch than usual, considering they skipped the May patch (disregarding 1.17b, which I wouldn't could as a normal patch).

I don't mind if it's not the miracle patch we all want to see, as long as what we do get is of top quality.

I thought we were supposed to get a video showing the battle system/dungeon, looks like that may not happen now.

Yoshida said he might show us videos in the next Producer's letter. Thankfully, he's been pretty consistent with releasing these letters every two weeks, so we will get it next week most likely.
