Two months since last update

[Sephrick]

Hmm

1.20 came out on Dec.14th if I remember correctly. Today is Jan.27. It has been 44 days since 1.20, which makes it a month and 14 days since 1.20 was released.

Despite my terrible math skills, it hasn't been two months yet. However, everyone knows the routine, you should expect this from SE now and expect anything to happen. We are just now getting some fluff info regarding this stuff, so the 10th-14th is my guess.

I was talking about the letter from the producer on Nov. 24 where he released the update of things scheduled for 1.20 and 1.21.

Alright then, still don't see point in bringing it up. We know about 90% of what is coming in 1.21, all we really need is just a release date. You know the routine, SE fluffs us with tad bits of info and previews a few weeks before release. Most likely next week they will give us previews for the new dungeons coming up.

We have road maps and everything also, we know what is coming up, don't need an update from him constantly.

Like I said, SE usually drip feeds info and the rate increases as the patch nears.

Was just intending to have a harmless conversation about what we do know and hope to see. Wasn't meant to scold SE or anything.

Well, here's an update of sorts I guess. Looking forward to something official.

Can't imagine what 1.20c would be other than hot fixes.

パッチ1.20cは、来週の公開を予定しております。
現在検証作業中のため、詳細な日時が決まり次第「インフォメーション」にてお知らせいたします。
Patch 1.20c is being planned for next week, we are currently working on it so once the specific date/time is confirmed will let you know through the Information (on Lodestone)

今しばらくお待ちいただけますと幸いです。
Would appreciate if you can wait a little more, thanks

Mmmm dev tracker can't track forum admin posts so I guess there was a post about admin saying there will be 1.20c to fix the haste hand? (dunno English name for it, God send for crafting to use to do instant craft 0 > 100% one) Triairy responded to this one today...

I guess 1.20c means 1.21 is delayed...

well it's delayed for sure from reading another forum about people talking about new interview in Japanese game magazine... I'll post some info I got from the forum on here but it's not directly from the magazine so information might be wrong.

If someone can get the March 2012 Connect On! magazine issue I can try and translate, they don't sell Connect On! here where I live.

Why can't they just tell us that the patch is delayed and what's going on? I'm pretty tired of getting all this info through a translation thread of a magazine than SE themselves....

I don't know. I doubt this will hold back 1.21. Purpose of "b" and "c" is to fix issues that derive from the 1.20 patch itself. This shouldn't have any affect on 1.21's progression. I wouldn't worry about any major delays, and if there are, it won't be because of this.

Seriously. I have the utmost respect for the community managers and I know they can't translate stuff when it happens overnight but it is pretty frustrating not being able to know things when they happen and having to resort to fan translations (of info from 2ch of all places) just to get some spiral of info.

I mean if it weren't for Reinheart we'd be in the dark most of the time.

I do respect them too! I just feel so in the dark still because the lack of communication recently. It doesn't bother me as much that it was delayed because I'd rather the patch be almost perfect than being released too early. It's just the fact that we don't know yet through SE...

[Cichy]

It's sad that with all this PR crap they been spinning for us about being more communicative and up front with players they went back to the old ways. I guess great beginning to the New Year. I've noticed they primarily only answer JP based questions. Anyways, I agree, without Reinhart we'd have pretty much nothing.

From "Letter from the Producer XXI" posted back in November:

...I’m terribly sorry to make you all wait. I’ll be sure to inform you of the release date for 1.20 as soon as it’s confirmed. Just to add, none of this will affect work on patch 1.21 and beyond, Version 2.0 included. But in the off chance that it does, you can rest assured we won’t keep you in the dark.

And yet it feels like that's exactly what they're doing.
