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

A damn shame about the delay but I mean, I'd rather have a game that's tested and ironed out as best as possible than a flaming pile of "oops" and then it's Rabahn EX all over again. For me it just makes me more confident in Yoshi P's decision and the dev team.

It also is unfortunate that people who scheduled the time off to get in are upset - and I get it. In the development world of games and tech nothing EVER goes according to plan. I feel bad and hopefully y'all will be able to work around it.

They could of taken every team member and work on it instead of developing the dumb seasonal events that are a repeat every year. At least it could be done. Makes you wonder what was being done

Yeah. I mean y'know, making content for the largest expansion to date, as they've mentioned over and over again, not to mention trying to adjust numbers for DPS, HP etc, scaling figures, basic QA, Zoning, adding new functions, removing older functions, designing characters, gear, monsters, dialogue - Yeah... wonder where they were? ..../s

And as a company, if they set a deadline at which the game will be released, it's their responsibility to make sure they meet it. SPECIALLY since content was cut in order to meet this deadline, and specially with the amount of attention the game's been getting lately

Just gonna go out on a limb here slugger and just assume you've never worked in the gaming development industry.

It's their responsibility to release a game. Period. It's also their responsibility to ensure that it's released with minimal issues. Game delays happen to many companies often. Especially during a time where there's a pandemic on a global scale. Timelines always aren't bulletproof even in the early days of games before DLC and Expansions. There's no golden rule or any rule that states they "ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO DO THE THING ON TIME!" to summarize what you've said, with caplocks on.

For the ones who are doom and gloom and saying "This is the last straw! How dare you?!" or feeled they are owed something by the dev team or comments to that in nature - there's an unsubscribe button. Do feel free to use it at your leisure. I'm above the negative entitled nonsense and people like you will not be missed honestly. Make some room on the bandwidth for the rest of us who want to keep the ping low.
