It was announced at FanFest, discussed in Producer Live Letters, posted on the Lodestone, and news linked in the Launcher. They gave plenty of warning through official media outside of the forums.
You know what, so do I. I spend time at work when its slow on the forums, or when I'm eating, or when I'm not playing the game, reading, or playing other games.

This was on the launcher 3 months ago.
She seems like she just wants every news told in-game
and cannot be asked to look through other means lol.
Pretty sure that not only was this on the launcher, but was one of the major news banners on the launcher making it even harder to miss.
Every once in a while they have a live letter that is streamed live where they tell people what changes are coming. Mostly in Japanese but sometime with translation. There is usually a translation on reddit soon after, and an english summary on the lodestone. Many youtubers also go over it. I recommend following the official FFXIV social media accounts. (facebook, twitter, YouTube) as well as FFXIV content creators.

Reading patchnotes is really hard...
But hey...WHERE ARE ALL MY DAMAGE NUMBERS?!!! WHERE IS MY ELEMENTAL RESISTANCE MATERIA?!!! WHY CAN'T I SPEND STATPOINTS ANYMORE?!!! WHERE IS MY PROTEC?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111eleven
Is this a troll? Can't even tell anymore.
Your obnoxious tone aside, this was stated months ago in updates on the Lodestone... you know, those links to which are on the game launcher? Don't be snide to others pointing this out because you couldn't be bothered to read.
never saw it in the launcher, and I don't do that other stuff you mentioned. I don't watch fanfest, or go to fanfests, I don't do producer live letters, I didn't have a forum account till today, and haven't even read the forums or anything on them until today. So no, I was NOT aware of it. I've never seen it in loadstone (prolly missed it as I was likely looking for other things and not looking for 'news'). And frankly, I launch the launcher, and start the game, because that's all I AM interested in doing. Not spending time reading blah bl;ah banned x rmt blah blah etc. Because that is literally the ONLY garbage I see in that section. So, sorry I wasn't up to date because I play a game instead of read about it.
Then don't whine because you can't be bothered to occasionally look at posts on the official game website. Good grief, some people...never saw it in the launcher, and I don't do that other stuff you mentioned. I don't watch fanfest, or go to fanfests, I don't do producer live letters, I didn't have a forum account till today, and haven't even read the forums or anything on them until today. So no, I was NOT aware of it. I've never seen it in loadstone (prolly missed it as I was likely looking for other things and not looking for 'news').

Well, yes. They had the patch notes on the launcher before 6.0 launched.
