November? really?

Let me get one thing straight, I do not have anything against them taking vacation.

However, I highly doubt that the WHOLE DEV TEAM took vacation at the same time for over a month. Add to that that Japanese have a very high working moral. I really doubt the whole team up and left. While I believe they had vacation (in waves most likely), I think they are simply behind with the patch and since saying that would mean admitting they didn't plan properly, vacation will be a viable excuse that will find acceptance everywhere.

That being said, I rather they take a bit more time and make it a good patch. And please, please, for whoever's sake, DROP PS3 SUPPORT and let this game go to the next stage. You snooze, you loose. Get a PS4 or a PC if you want to keep playing (no, I am not ignorant of the financial investment. I have a low/mid range wage and I still could get a good machine to play FFXIV).

I think the Chaos datacenter transfer stuff probably took time away from development too.
