Letter from the Producer, XXIII (01/23/2012)

[Bongeh1986]

How dare you expect any information about Final Fantasy XIV in the Letter from the Producer of Final Fantasy XIV?

You must be some sort of heartless bastard.

P.S. to everyone preparing to revolt and attack SE HQ because Yoshida posted a cheeky letter: He did the same thing last year, stop getting jimmies rustled.

I'm merely expressing my only emotion felt while reading that letter. Disappointment.

Yeah they are human, blah blah blah, they also get paid to do a job, by us (now). I did quite enjoy reading about the festivities and traditions for japanese new year, however, would it have been so hard, considering it is the final week of january, to have 1 sentence relating to 1.21, specifically more than 'we're working on it'?

I work as a game developer for iOS and Android, I'm aware that schedules slide, it's called creeping scope and games are particularly susceptible too it, but if I told my clients 'I'm working on it' when they asked for an estimated date of delivery i'd be out on my ass faster than I am when I accidentally untoggle walk/run in turning leaf.

Even an estimated date for the next Letter from the producers would have been nice.

Umm, there is mention of 1.21 at the end of the letter.

hardly.

See you next letter (I’ll be updating the 1.21 list of changes to the game soon) or on the forums! See you soon!

'Soon' is not a quantifiable amount of time acceptable for someone wanting to know how long something is going to take
