Future .5 MSQ

[Burningskull]

Can we stop splitting the .5 MSQ in half please? You can really tell this story, which was really good btw, wasn't meant to be 2 parts. There's not really a cliffhanger per say. It just kinda... stops. Granted we only have to wait a few weeks instead of a few months for the next part but... it was just really jarring to be going 30 mph and then hitting a sudden stop.

And yes I know Zenos taking the field at the end was a set up for the next act but we already saw that in the Shadowbringer trailer.

expansion is too far away for them not to split it.

Unless you only do one of the MSQs a week the MSQ takes a few hours at most depending on how fast your read. And we are not getting another Dungeon in the next MSQ. Maybe a trial. They have other content they can stagnate to keep people playing. Like what they are doing with Blue Mage, Hildabrand, and the other stuff they have planned that I can't remember right now ><

Next part doesn't come out til March though.

Doesn’t part 2 of the patch come out in late March?

[Burningskull]

Was it March? I thought it was in like February >< my mistake. Sorry.

[MrThinker]

To be even more specific, Yoshi P stated in an interview that they plan to release 4.56 (or part 2) AFTER the Japan Fanfest. That leaves the date for 4.56 to be March 26th.

I agree... it was a lot of production, but not much happened... and it just- stops.

I'll probably finish up the new content pretty quickly and cancel until April.

4.55 is March

5.0 is.. "Summer". Most likely June or July...


4.55 is where they end they properly set up the MSQ for the next expansion, and going by Shadowbringers trailer, something's gonna happen with Thancred as he's shown with a Gunblade...

Have patience and let the Devs pace the story as they see fit... they already have enough on their hands trying to deliver great cutscenes to warp up Stormblood while also working feverishly to get 5.0 completed. If splitting the patches into two parts is what it takes so as to maintain curiosity and interest until this summer, then so be it.

Have some patience.
