New interview from Famitsu Connect-On Magazine Aug.2011

The game has been officially "launched" I don't see them doing re-reviews, unless they relaunch this with a new name which isn't going to happen so there just gonna to have to live with the first impression they made.

With Other MMO's on the horizon I would be very surprised if they decided to take a second look at this.

Thats why I personally think XIV PS3 will launch as an expansion pack forcing game sights to take a second look.

Didn't reps respond about Roegadyn (Galka!) female and Mi'qote male? Put those 2 new race + new area + hair styles + some golden subligar and people will take that second look for sure. Specially the golden subligar.

If that PS3 launch is ANYTIME soon, then don't count on an expansion to help it along. They are having a hard enough time getting nessicary changes out the door in a decent amount of time as it is. Im certain they havent been building an expansions worth of content and such on the side.

If they are smart they wont bother with the ps3 version until 1) combat is finalized 2) jobs system in place 3) transports are up (bird/airship) 4) decent bit of endgame content available 5) re-design of zones are done.

releasing before those things are out would be a sure-fire death ticket for the game. If one of the drastic things like the world or combat or classes are still changing and the ps3 players get their hands on it, the first thing they will think is that they are paying for a beta.
