    SE loves Tuesdays. Why? I have no idea, maybe someone told them that Tuesday is the most receptive day for the week for MMO players, or perhaps some of their key staff have a bizarre Tuesday fetish.

    At any rate... they've openly stated we can expect the next patch (2.38) to arrive "around the time of the Tokyo Game Show". Since the closest Tuesday after it (after, because there's no way in hell it'll come before the TGS) is Sep 23... I can say with near 100% certainty that we will get patch 2.38 on Tuesday, Sep 23 (EST).

    As far as I know, 2.4 is currently slated for mid-late Oct. Hope that helps!

    Most likely because it is the less busy day of the week, on stats about logins.

    To further add to this, doing patches early in the week gives them time to fix any critical errors without them having to come in on a weekend :P

    Don't tell me you would prefer Friday, Saturday or Sunday as their choice of Maintenance. o.O

    Give or take that everywhere in the world, Mondays are dreadful and annoying, and just like cars built in the morning can have some disastrous endings (joking here ) I'm quite ok with Tuesdays for Maintenance.

    OP - I guess either you were misinformed, or just too hyped like me for a new Class/Job to "finally" come to this "fantasy"

    By the way, you don't have to overthink much about thf (which is Rogue, not Thief) and Ninja, as there is no other options available, until they might redo the class system, at or after the expansion I've read.

    While these are very interesting points...

    ...I would question as to why this system has been adopted (if such is the case) for something that does not involve a retail store or a physical product for that matter. It's based purely on digital distribution and SE (in theory) has the option to release content patches on any day of their choosing, as I'm sure they have staff on duty to monitor the FFXIV servers at any given hour of the day.

    Haha! No way, I'm just suprised that they chose that day, given the information above. Personally I don't think it'd be much different if they decided to release patches on Mondays or Wednesdays.

    I enjoy this logic and agree!
