Is 1.18 the final straw?

[Poipori]

I will restate what I posted in another thread couple weeks ago, 1.18 will not be a game changer, that's for sure.

Because according to the producer's letter and battle blueprint, we'll only be getting ONE rank 50 dungeon and ONE rank 30 dungeon, plus core auto attack, with some other minor changes.

To those that hoped for the new job system, well let's just say you won't be seeing that anytime soon, definitely not in summer, because according to the producer's letter, "Cost assessment for job system implementation" is in FUTURE task, "implementation of job system" is no where to be found, so I think the earliest you'll see white/black mage in game is end of the year.

So, be prepared to WAIT, WAIT and WAIT.

Actually, everything that Yoshi wrote in his letter will be here by summer's end(which could be august or september, I have no idea), and that includes the job system.

yes everything that in the letter will happen before summers ends, but what is in the letter?

current-"Development of core mechanics for the job system"
future-"Cost assessment for job system implementation"
current-"Establish the details of the initial set of jobs and their skills"
future-"Determine the attributes of each job"
current-"Development of graphical assets for each job such as equipment"
future-"Stage by stage implementation of job-specific weapons and armor"

This means that they are still in the "planning" stage for the entire summer.

There is no word on "Implementation of the job system" at all, so if you think that job system will be here before summer ends, you will be in for a huge disappointment.

Wouldn't that be so funny.

No, you saying this is what's funny. This is exactly why SE shouldn't be giving us too much info if they don't have any real time frame for it. People jump to conclusions and make up their own time frame. Then when those (false) expectations aren't met, they get pissed off.

How many people are already expecting the Job system for 1.18? Like, seriously? Wishful thinking is one thing, but some take it too far and end up extremely disappointed in the end.

What Poipori said is absolutely, 100% correct. There was never any mention of the Job system being implemented before summer, or even in 2011 for that matter. They never said anything about a time frame for implementation. All they said was that a Job system was being developed and gave us a few details. Unfortunately some took it the wrong way and are now expecting its release within a few months.

{That's too bad.}

Everything on Letter Producer X is being implemented by Summers end, Says it clearly on it ( or at least most of it)

Yes, we all know that. But show me where it says that Jobs are being implemented. Poipori already listed all of the Job related stuff, and it's all just preparations and planning.

The only thing listed for implementation is the gear, but not the Jobs themselves. Which I find kinda funny lol

Wow some people can't ram it through their head. Read what the letter said again though, it said everything on that list will be finished by summer's end, but then read the specifics and anything regarding job system and you wont see anything that on the list that says "implement job system". Yea...learn to read and you wont be so disappointed in the end.

I think SE is trying to show people how much work there is to be done just to get to the point where they can start implementing this stuff. Unfortunately we do tend to jump to conclusions. Also the letters are translations from a language with a very different structure than English, and even if they are the best translations possible its a bad idea to hang your expectations on subtle nuances in the wording. I would read these letters as broad strokes. If SE published their gantt charts for these projects your head would spin, and you'd spit pea soup.
