More information please

Patch 1.17 is due at the end of March I believe, and I also believe Companies were to be talked about just beforehand. So I'd assume it'll be sometime next week.. God I hope so.

Also..


The new development team changed the entire direction of companies..

They're not player-run anymore.. This has been announced in a past post somewhere.

"Grand Companies of Eorzea".

Sounds epic.

That was the plan before the earthquake hit. Now its 1-2 weeks late.

We might see 1.16a at that time though.

Greetings everyone!

We know you're all anxious to learn just what this whole "Companies" thing is all about, and I know the dev. team is just as excited to tell you!

In "Letter from the Producer, VI" Yoshida stated:

I had intended to announce this in a future letter, but we will release information regarding the Grand Companies of Eorzea (what were referred to as “public companies” in previous posts) just before patch 1.17 goes live. We are currently readying a page dedicated to this exciting new feature, and hope to have it up on the Lodestone shortly.

With that in mind, we appreciate your patience leading up to the release of info! We can't wait to hear what you all have to say about Companies once we announce all the juicy details!

That's where a lot of us are confused. By "shortly" does he mean right before 1.17 or sometime in the next few days?
