HeavensWards is coming out in April right

[Akuryu]

I think if it were coming out in April we'd already know the date. There is a difference between announcing a patch date and announcing a full retail release. From a marketing standpoint, they can't throw up a blog post out of the blue saying "It's out next week!" Every week that goes by without the announcement of a date is pushing the eventual release further down the calendar. I'd guess May or perhaps even early June.

Maybe since 2.5 Part 2 is March which is only a Main Scenario update to bridge 2.X into 3.0 and they did say the release of 3.0 is sometime in Spring 2015.

However, this is only assuming they follow the 3 month scheduale plan since 2.50 was released in January.

I do hope it is April release as well since 2.5 Part 2 is not a Major content update but just adding in a Main Scenario meant to be part of 2.5X update.

This makes the most sense. Patch 2.55 is supposed to be the lead up for the expansion. Doesn't make much sense for too much time to pass between.

Not necessarily. They would easily announce the date with the 2.51 patch. That's two months before the expansion, if it follows the typical content patch time table.

2.55 is 2.5 mainstory part 2
2.51 is Golden Saucer


for game updates they always mean the calendar seasons. But yes, spring is 20th march - 20th june

Oh please... The meteorological definition of summer on the northern hemisphere says that summer start on 1st of june...
Summer solstice is supposed to mark the middle of summer...
You don't start summer at middle of summer...

2.51 feb 24th
2.55 (2.5 part 2) end of march.

Then I would assume we'll have a full month to enjoy the most recent patch (all of april)

Then I would guess at 3.0 for May

several stores are telling me that it will be out December 31 of 2015. but that is obviously way past Spring. i wish an employee or someone could give us a real answer here. i would like to know just how much money i need to save and by when, that is for the CE. don't they want their customers to be prepared?

Amazon always defaults to the last date of the year when a firm release date is not known. It will change whenever the real date is announced

It's not that the store or its employees are trying to give you the run around, it is just that they do not know. Since there has been given no official announcement yet, they do not have anymore information than you do at this point.

Hopefully soon! Game is boring for me. Nothing to do... <.< All I do is being afk in my house and chatting with people x:
I dont need any tomes, weapons, items or gil.
I want to play new classes/jobs, discover new big maps!

(Im no person wasting 100+hours of playing for those overrated Atma/Animus weapons or doing stupid hunts like a lemming x: )

So can you have days off in April or not?

I'm thinking its a joke.

April, May, June seems like the earliest window based on updates.
