Do you think Yoshida will deliver in 1.18?

If they can make a good showing with .18 and the subsequent patches finishing up the battle revamp it should do a world of good for xiv. if they fumble it then who knows.

I really really really doubt we will get the Job system in 1.18

Never said that, the period at the end of etc. wasn't the end of the sentence. :P

Posted this in another thread, re-posting here.

What to expect from 1.18:

Auto Attack core system, very basic implementation of the AA system.
The 3 Grand Companies and their leaders, very basic implementation.
Abolition of physical levels (maybe)
2 (Two) Dungeons, 1 for r50 and 1 for r30, likely in the same zone (Toto-Rak.) Anyone expecting more is just setting themselves up for disappointment.
Implementation of Quest Hubs, again, most likely very basic.
New gear and new recipes.
Small bug fixes, server stability fixes, MW stability fixes, yet another targeting fix, enmity algorithm adjustments, maybe some attribute adjustments, and maybe a surprise or two.

Don't expect anything more than that. If we do get anything that's not in that list consider it a bonus. And no, I didn't forget to mention abolition of surplus. It was stated in letter X that it would be implemented following the battle system changes, likely at the end of summer.

Jobs will most definitely NOT make an appearance in 1.18, and likely not until after Summer.

Basically, we'll get a few new things to do on top of the beginning of the battle system changes. I'm just hoping that the dungeons won't be something that takes only a week to completely gear my LS.

Nah lol, i could only wish. If they released the Job System on July 23rd, it would be an awesome Birthday Present. :O

Though i think Yoshida claimed that all of the major changes would be done at least by the end of this summer. Nice guess though, you were close.

He indicated that the major changes listed were planned for the end of summer. That is not the same as a claim that the changes will be done by then.

... I said at least by the end of summer. At. Least. Meaning the same thing you said about the list being planned for the end of summer, assuming you meant implementation.

Short Answer: No.

Yes I think he will deliver, but that's just me. I personally believe that 99.9% of this community will never ever be happy with anything the dev team does. They'll ALWAYS find something to bitch and moan about.

As for being some kind of saving grace, second coming kind of patch? No. Why do people expect so much out of a single damn patch?
