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

That's exactly where I'm at. I don't care about the delay at all, but did they really think that waiting until the Live Letter was the way to go about it? It just put a cloud on the rest of it, because I felt a sudden panic as I have to explain to my FC/static that I will need special handling to be on the same page as them.

It's not game breaking, enjoyment destroying, or going to make me resentful of SE. It's just aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa that they sat on this information for so long and used it as the opening message before a highly anticipated Live Letter.

yeah the delay news has just made the Live letter a bit of a downer
like ive been interested and excited for this small pvp they have been hinting at but right now i cant bring myself to care

as said problem isn't the delay its just the short notice
its great they want the launch to be perfect and this delay adds more pressure to the dev team for it to be perfect aswell
and i hope it is or people will just put it against the devs when something goes wrong

I think they would have benefited from announcing the delay when they knew it was going to happen, maybe through a letter made by Yoshi P pasted on the Lodestone or something. That way the bad news was already over and done with and they could focus on trying to keep the hype train going.
