FFXIV 6.0 comes out December 7th. Pre-release is December 3rd

I totally understand everyone's concerns regarding this delay. It totally sucks that the delay is happening and at a time of year when for most people getting time off (PTO, etc) is nearly impossible. I feel no one should be expressing disdain, etc. regarding how people choose to use their PTO. It's their PTO and if they want to use it to play video games more power to them.

As to the development team, again I totally understand their concerns and why they felt they needed to delay the launch of the game for 2 weeks. You want to do some last minute housekeeping, you want to make sure the game is amazing for your players and I totally love this care for your players.

However, I am very disappointed, if not upset that you market items on the mogstation knowing that the lunch would be delayed. Yes the 50% off sale. If you knew the game was going to be delayed you should have let the players know this at the time it was 100% certain. Before you setup a marketing scheme to play on people that needed that last little push to complete jobs to 80, I am one of these people.

If I had known I would have 2 extra weeks to grind out my last 2 jobs, I probably would not have purchased the tales of adventure given that I had the full picture of the status of the new release. But in my eyes FFXIV pulled a marketing ploy directly from Blizzard's game-book, actually Wizards of the Coast might be a better comparison. Where you knew the game would be delayed, but yet you still marketed to your players in a way that gave the impression that the expansion wasn't delayed. Then you waited a full week to release this information, allowing more players the chance to feel pressured to buy something they might not have needed due to time constraints.

Very disappointed in the game but more so I'm kicking myself that I fell for your marketing ploy to "Jump Start my adventures" in time for endwalker. Just not letting us know there would be a 2 week delay.

Touche! This type of sickness must be PURGED!

Also With the way people idolize the developers. im 100% sure of them don't think of them as human beings. People really don't

That is a interesting comment. That works in their favour not against them.

Figuring out their QA issues sooner and announcing it rather than promising one date for months only to delay two weeks from launch.

But again it's not intentional...

It's not like you're giving feedback on your opinion on how GNB feels to play, you're giving feedback on some that was unintentional and they didn't want to happen to begin with.

To be fair, most of us have to work at least 8 hours a day, with probably another around 1-1.5h being devoted to getting ready and commuting, and another 8 being dedicated solely to sleeping. Add in things like chores and cooking and you basically end up with little free time relative to the hours you have to work/sleep on any given weekday

It would be nice to be able to sit down and enjoy your hobby uninterrupted for a few days between having to slave your life away

People who live with their mommy and daddy don't understand working 8+ hours a day plus 2+ hours of commuting time, plus all the other chores one must do when you're an adult and own a home.

That's funny because you didn't unlock your first achievement until July of this year.

Could just be an alt character.
Not uncommon that people don't post on the forum as their main character.

They are human beings. Stop being upset that they didn't release on the 19th/23rd. It sucks that it might screw up your plans. BUTS THATS ON YOU. Not them. Take a step back and put yourself in their shoes for once. Guaranteed you would see things very differently.

lmao i should use that on my professors when they ask for my assignments. be like "stop being upset that i didn't submit it on time. it sucks that it might screw up your plans. BUT THAT'S ON YOU. Not me. Take a step back and put yourself in my shoes for once. Guaranteed you would see things very differently" haha

but for real, you don't get to tell ppl how to feel. and its 100% on SE. that's why yoshida is so upset. he knows he let ppl down.

as a university student, the delay doesn't affect me, but it does mean my gf likely won't be able to get time off for launch now. its gonna be lonely at server up.

I don't get the logic of lashing out at people who don't share your opinion. /shrug

Yes now imagine that but five times worse and this is your job.
You see how it becomes a little silly to be THAT upset about it in your situation?

Being disappointed is fine but cmon.

[Duskane]

Take time off whenever you want. Not what im saying. Just dont be upset when something doesnt go as planned.

Stop taking PTO for Video Games.

big think
