Unofficial Census 2016 for FFXIV

[Ibi]

Here we go again...

We would've had a trailer for 3.4 by now if the patch was going to be released before October.

What?

• 3.1 Trailer released on 10/29/15, 3.1 went live on 11/9/15, ten days later.
• 3.2 Trailer released on 2/12/16, 3.2 went live on 2/22/16, ten days later.
• 3.3 Trailer released on 5/27/16, 3.3 went live on 6/6/16, ten days later.

If 3.4 was going to be an October release, we shouldn't be expecting a trailer any time in the next month.

It'll probably drop after FanFest. Too many people would be upset if it dropped before.

Not according to Yoshi-P:

We'll have patch 3.4, then announcements at the United States fan festival, then at the Tokyo fan festival.

Even setting that statement aside, here's the time frames of each patch:

• 2.0 > 2.1: 109 days / 15.6 weeks / 3.6 months
• 2.1 > 2.2: 102 days / 14.6 weeks / 3.4 months
• 2.2 > 2.3: 104 days / 14.9 weeks / 3.4 months
• 2.3 > 2.4: 112 days / 16 weeks / 3.7 months
• 2.4 > 2.5: 84 days / 12 weeks / 2.8 months
• 2.5 > 3.0: 154 days / 22 weeks / 5.1 months
• 3.0 > 3.1: 140 days / 20 weeks / 4.7 months
• 3.1 > 3.2: 105 days / 15 weeks / 3.5 months
• 3.2 > 3.3: 105 days / 15 weeks / 3.5 months

Even if you include the extended delay between 3.0 and 3.1 in the numbers (which was due to the staggered release of Alexander and the Development Team taking a vacation after the expansion's launch), we should anticipate 3.4 coming 15 or 16 weeks after 3.3, which would put it on either September 20th or 27th.

That would be perfect. FF15 isn't near there anymore
