Sometime second half of September at the earliest.

That's a joke, having to use any resources outside of the game is not acceptable. If that's the case then there should be no full screen option allowed.

Thats why FFXIV needs in game tutorial. The game should start with a series of quests that explains how to play the game and the many systems. These quests should take you around town, show you the different locations, controlls, mechanics etc...

Sorry, is this speculation or an official hint?

[Chardrizard]

says end of september but there is never official dates and delay is to be expected on most major patch.

[JackDaniels]

Oh ok, thank you.

Umm . . . official. There is always a chance of delay, but their stated goal was before the end of September. You might check over at the Producer's letters. There's a lot of info on upcoming changes being planned. Some stuff is only in the Translations threads here, but a good general outline can be found in the letters.

Heh, I read every one but usually while I'm at work.. so I generally tend to glance over the the more important notices like the release date of patches :P

Most of the basic info like default keys for controls were included with the game on a little placart that had a full keyboard layout. No one READS THE FRACKING MANUAL THOUGH.

It really wouldnt be hard to implement a key map in the menu at all.

You know what would be even better? Say we had the ingame key map, but we could drag and drop to interchange the key bindings as apposed to mashing every button on your keyboard looking for a spare key so you can free up one of the keys you want to use for something else. It took me about 15 mins to change ijkl to wasd
