Let's Just Ask: Is Ishgard Opening?

[Starlord]

I'm willing to bet that They drop the " Ishgard is opening up!" like 3 days before it's released, Just like we were wondering when Settlements was coming and they said it was going to be in this patch but no where to be found...

** And besides Ishgard Is the Center Location for all nations to go too... Wouldn't you think that will be implemented alongside with the addition of the New Empire Area?

They also said that Patch 1.19 is going to be 3-5 times larger than Patch 1.18 ( thats alot of stuff). So if you do all the Math.. theirs a Higher Probability that it will be in this patch," High Chance" Not " Guaranteed".

Here's to Hoping

I thought there was a high chance it would be in at release. Sometimes hope is synonymous with delusion.

Again I said "High Chance" not "Guaranteed" and I'm not being Delusional, I'm merely stating the Quotes " 3-5 times as large as 1.18" " New areas will be brought about in 1.19 ( They don't say where of course) When you put those two together There's a High Chance, again Not Guaranteed

I get that from the letter they sent all of us that one time in which they apologized to us and said we didn't have to pay for the subscription until they fixed it.

I didn't, to be honest. From that letter, I was hearing, "Wow, this group of people really f*cked up what should have been a great game, sorry about that. Here's some new devs to turn it around."

That doesn't say all that much to me about admitting that the game was only 20% complete, just that they think it's a "bad game" and they can "do better."

Personally, I think the team-switch was mostly an excuse to buy more time to finish a game they didn't want to admit wasn't even close to Version 1.0. Don't get me wrong, I love what Yoshida-san has done with it, and I'm glad the shift happened, but I think it was more of an ass-cover than an admission.

Their, now, coming out and saying, "We didn't even have the primary travel methods PLANNED yet, we just had the world, so uh, about that...complex system you were after... here's some bare bones we threw together just so you HAVE a way to get around. But don't think we're not working very hard on it!" is more of an admission, to me.

I'm not bitching about it, of course; I think SE needed a good humbling to really drill home how important it is that this game is more than just a franchise title and some pretty wallpaper - we want what we've come to expect and know they can (and I'm sure Yoshida-san will) deliver.

I agree, Hope for the best expect the worst. Hey Bay !? Any "NEW" news to share??

[Rydin]

At least it gives me some off-time to get the rest of college out of the way >.>

screw college

Is that what it says when you play the Letter from the Producer backwards?

that and some stuff about devil worship
All backwards messages allude to the devil...

[Gath]

Ishgard is already open, but, it's only open to Gath.
The reasoning behind this is...
My 1 gil is worth more than your 1 gil.

Well.. any new area is good to me so.. Even if its Ala Mingo to start then Expands to the Northern Continent. That would be just fine ^^

I'm glad to see so many people are still hopeful that Ishgard might actually happen soonish, though - and yes Catapult, SE did say that they were deliberately holding back Ishgard until their "battle changes" were in place so we could properly enjoy the content - but that is soooo vaaaague.

Everything is coming after the battle changes. Ishgard, level cap raise, the halloween event, the anniversary, 2017 Mog Bonanza... It's like saying, "Here's a picture of me when I was younger." EVERY PICTURE OF YOU IS WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER.

Hey, at least it gives more time for the proposal I had - just for kicks, giggles, and a great story to tell future generations of Eorzeans - to build a landmark inside Ishgard celebrating the true FFXIV 1.0 (Shameless plug to link in my signature).

Ugh Common sense.. " battle changes that they mentioned " Not Tweaks when the Battle system is in place, all there be left to do is tweaking.. such as the Targetting system that gets a "Tweaked every patch" and people make a joke out of it all the time LOL. and for about a year they will continue to "tweak" the battle system. When its in place " by 1.20 lastest will see info about Ishguard.
