Is 1.18 the final straw?

[Poipori]

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

Exactly my point, why would they says JSE w/o putting jobs along with it.. that makes no sense at all, in which case they "are" implementing it. and besides he said he wants everything on that list "in game" by Summers end" In the game means implementation.

and for all you know they could be at the closing point of there development stage, it just probably has got to the "end" of it yet

It could have been a typo for all we know. Maybe it was supposed to be "Class" and not "Job". It certainly doesn't make any sense to implement the gear before the actual system comes out.

Still, there is no actual mention of Jobs being implemented within the summer. That's not to say that the possibility isn't there. I just wouldn't put too much faith into it and end up disappointed when it doesn't happen.

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.

It says it will be finished by summer's end, it also says job system mechanics. Job system mechanics+finish=Finished Job system mechanics. If they don't put jobs in 1.18 I'm putting the nail in the coffin here. Seriously, this game blows but I need one huge ass smack to the face so I can just say, "F this." I really want that to happen. At this point, I don't even want this game to be good.

Might as well leave now. The chance of the Job system being in 1.18 is about 0.0000002%. I don't normally leave comments like these, but you've clearly made up your mind already. So why waste any more time?
