2.4 Release date predictions

[Zumi]

Remember: They initially stated 2.0 would release in Dec 2012/Jan 2013. Yoshida also said originally golden saucer was slated for 2.3 - Square Enix also said Versus XIII would be out in 2012. Point is: Square Enix and Yoshida says a lot of things.

They did a presentation on Oct. 14 saying that 2.4 will be released in October 2014. Not the same as announcing games that have several year development times that they don't know when they will be done. If they knew that 2.4 wasn't coming out in the next 15 days they wouldn't announce it at that event.

Its probably safe to say 2.4 will be the 21st or 28th. I'm betting the 21st even though I'd prefer the 28th. They're most likely going to give us a trailer for 2.4 in the next couple of days or the same day as fanfest, that's why they've started the previews. It doesn't really matter when they give us a trailer as long as its before the patch goes live. The info for 2.4 has all been pretty vague so there's probably some stuff they don't want us to know about yet.

Pssh Patch 2.4 has been done for a while and there just waiting, probably half way finished with 2.45.

It probably has been finalized for sometime considering on the 14th of November the GOTY edition releases with 2.4 on the disc, It takes a bit of time to set up disc production and distribution.

I'm sorry I didn't quite understand that. Are you saying they'd announce the date on the 21st for the following weekend? o.o I don't really see that happening.

I find this strange on the time allotted to claim the gold dyes.
"Players will be eligible to obtain the pots of metallic gold dye by logging in to the game between the maintenance completion and Oct. 24, 2014 12:00 a.m. (PDT)"
Something happening on the 24th? Either another hotfix or patch 2.4.

Edit: Just notice the similarities, 24th>2.4

like said before you read too much into it, i think they simply give one week for this.

I think it has more to do with keeping the item rare since it is being awarded through the Moogle delivery system. The Moogle system delivers the items to all characters on the account, as such for the brief period, gold dyes will be abundant since players with full subscriptions can pretty much just keep creating/deleting characters and trading their dyed items through a friend. Hence, that period can't be extended for too long.

Don't you have to do a quest to be able to dye your gear though?
