Patch 1.20 to come out Dec 14th(Most Likely)

[Shura]

プロデューサ/ディレクタの吉田です。

パッチ1.20のリリース日は、ほぼ12/14で確定できているのですが、
まだ最終調整とバグの追い込みが続いており、
明日の夜くらいには確定できると思います（これからクリティカルな重大バグが発生しない限り）。
しっかりした日付を御伝えするため、もう少々お待ち下さい。

課金告知については欧米の法務的都合で期限があるため、
パッチリリース告知と前後する形となってしまい恐縮です。

また、リテイナーについてですが、新生時に仕様を変更し、
キャラクタに対してのリテイナー付与ではなく、アカウント単位での付与に、切り替えるつもりでいます。
（課金対象リテイナーがどのキャラクタからでも使えます。アイテム移動はまた別問題ですが）
現状でリテイナー課金をスタートしてしまうと、いずれ大きな混乱を及ぼす可能性が高く、
そのため、今回はリテイナーの課金サービスを見送らせて頂きました。

Post by Yoshi-P in the JP forums, he says the date for patch 1.20 will most likely be 12/14, but they are doing some last min bug adjustments and finalization so he will officially try to confirm the date by tomorrow night.

He goes on talking about billing which I'm not gonna bother translating since its boring^^

Thank you for the confirmation.

Its laughable that people genuinely believe that it was going to be released as soon as tomorrow.

Regardless, Dissapointing release date for people who are hanging for the much needed revamps/fixes.

Next week far more likely i think, be fun to try it out.

"Yoshida is a producer / director.

To think about tomorrow night can be determined (unless serious critical bug occurs now).
To tell us a firm date, please wait a little longer.

Because of the deadline for the announcement in accounting and legal circumstances of Western
I'm afraid about sister and a flat patch releases and announcements.

Also, the retainer is about to change the specifications at the time of newborn
Retainer for a grant instead of a character, to grant per account, with the intention to switch.
(You can use any character from any retainer is chargeable. Moving items is another question).
Once you start charging retainer at present, likely to adversely any major disruptions,
So, this time I was allowed to forego retainer billing services."

Can't wait to meet Yoshida's sister though. She sounds scary.

Woot! More time to work on spiritbonding/creating gear before everyone gets focused on the moogle battle.

[Eruantien]

woot more time to finish skyrim before patch comes out XD

[AndrewN]

Thanks for the date information. Hopefully enough members of my LS will have finished with Skyrim by then .

I was also interested in the bit about the retainers. I'm not sure quite what Yoshi is saying (Google translate ftw) but I get the impression you will get a number of retainers per account, not per character in the future and the retainers can be swapped between characters. He isn't sure what will happen to anything the retainer is carrying when you swap and they aren't letting us have any more retainers until they are sure how it will all work.

[Fiosha_Maureiba]

My understanding is shared retainers per account. Any of your characters should be able to access them so you would not need to grab another player and trade four items at a time to get items over to another character.

On the downside for players, this means less storage place when making alts.
On the plus, it encourages us to prioritize our inventory.

If materia is consolidated, maybe catalysts too, and unusable outdated material sold, I think most of us (who aren't culinarians) won't have too much a problem with this.

And we don't have to repair to 100% to get an item to our other characters either. Sweet sauce!
