Feedback: November is not fall, please don't try to mislead players.

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

You're 2 hours South of me, so you basically share the same wonky weather patterns XD

Yup. Including the lack of air conditioning... Ugh...

[seida]

People will really complain about everything. November is still fall, whatever your personal definition. On top of that Japan is still struggling with the pandemic and going in and out of states of emergency, so it's a relief it's coming this year at all to be honest.

[Altera]

In Norway we consider September, October and November as Fall/Autumn, so they are not directly misleading. Plus they did say the devteam wanted a little more time to get things done properly.
Not sure what you consider to be Fall, but to me it is totally fine. Yes it is in the last month of Fall, but yeah.

OH and lets not forget there is still an ongoing PANDEMIC going on. And Soken even worked 7 months from hospital getting chemotherapy.

I would love to see if you still came into work when diagnosed with cancer? I know I would prolly completly shut down mentally if i heard I had cancer and work would be the last thing on my mind.

This. A large reason why I rarely ever come back to the forums. You always get an engaging topic and entitled people to debate stupid nonsense that doesn't fit their "logic" or "narrative". I came back because I wanted to congratulate the people who wanted Male Viera's only to see posts where "Oh but lets have a height slider" or "Wait no they don't look right WTF SQEX" and decided to not even post in those threads. Minority few but they tend to scream the loudest.

Male Viera isn't even out yet. To date, no one has ever even SEEN one and you have the complainers working OT on an asset that doesn't exist in the current game structure. If this isn't the epitome of entitlement then I have a ski resort in Ft. Lauderdale you might be interested in.

Personally I came back to see how people also felt about lack of Flight Unit mounts from NieR and express my two cents - more negative nonsense from the same kinds of people.

Now you have people like the OP saying SQEX are misleading and how Winter is actually in November because of where they live in America. Because a game designed in Japan isn't designed in 'murica and that according to their logic needs to conform to what the OP's definition of "Winter" and "Misleading" is.

Big Edit: If anyone quotes me and calls me toxic, don't confuse toxicity with bitterness. I'm bitter because of the wanton selfishness that some members display openly and think it's the "norm" or that they're somehow on the "right side of history"

I'll probably disappear back into the game and go back to largely ignoring the forums for another few years. Just seems like this kind of entitled mentality has gotten a lot worse and more salty toxic flavor.

And I return the Soapbox I stole from the last person.

[Sotaris]

At least we get mounts, like the fat black chocobo, and chocorpokkur.

That's... real mean

I'm sorry, have you never heard of it, or seen anything about it anywhere? I wouldn't believe you if you said you hadn't.

I mean I heard of it, never seen or experienced it. Not everyone lives in North America and Canada?

I would love to see if you still came into work when diagnosed with cancer? I know I would prolly completly shut down mentally if i heard I had cancer and work would be the last thing on my mind.

There is no need to shame people.

[Meckaku]

In Japan, yes, because it does not snow there until December, but not in America.

I don't know what America you live in, but the America I live in (USA) Winter starts in December.

EDIT: Of course this is going by Calendar dates of when winter starts, not when it feels like winter. If we're to go by when it first snows, then I say people in Phoenix, AZ will be disappointed, since Snow may never come for Phoenix.

My residence however is weird. Sometimes it can snow in October for like 1 hour and completely not stick to the ground. Then in December/January it'll rain all night (when it should be colder than in the day) then snow all day and stick to the ground til the next. Then it starts acting like spring for a few days late Jan, but then snow again.

[MarsAstro]

When Winter happens is not an opinion, and it has nothing to do with weather. Winter is always the same time of year, regardless of what happens to the weather. It can snow in fall and spring (heck, even summer), and lack of snow does not mean winter hasn't started yet. Because seasons are the same amount of time and at the same point in time every year, officially decided by whatever country you're in. In the entire northern hemisphere, November is officially a Fall month. That's just objective fact.

They intentionally said Fall because at that point they weren't far enough into development to give anything more precise without running a large risk of missing the deadline. If you heard "Fall" and decided that meant you could expect it wouldn't be late fall, then that's on you. That's not Square-Enix lying or being misleading.

You're free to be disappointed, but that's not on the developers or producers. Just be disappointed and move on, don't complain and try to make your emotional state someone else's fault.

In Japan, yes, because it does not snow there until December, but not in America.

I have snow from October through May, that's not a good way to measure "winter". It has a specific meteorological definition and that definition means it starts between December 20-22 every year, when the Earth's axis tilt causes the sun to be directly overhead at local noon at the Tropic of the opposite hemisphere.

[rxantos]

I am more underwhelmed by how crappy the rewards for pre-order are. Specially since the release is 6 months from now.

[Axzeriuth]

As someone from the Southern Hemisphere I'd prefer they not say the 'season' for any launch date cause we're already in Autumn. Just give a month.
