Yes, though 1.21 came out in early March, not early February as that roadmap states.

actualy, the roadmap states it would be out by late febuary, but yeah it was late, we know that


something people tend to not realize, they can be working on the next patch before the current one is finished, nothing says they cant have work on 1.22 started until 1.21 is 100% done

To me the 1.21 arrow looks like it ends in early February. I mean the delay wasn't colossal but I wasn't expecting 1.22 in a month and a half from then. Then again it's probably faster without the drastic fixes/changes to all the systems.

So we are getting two sets of weapons this patch...hmmm so maybe Garuda geared torward classes and JSW for jobs...I see this going really wrong for some reason...

Taking other Primal weapons as precedent, classes will likely be able to equip them (and by extension jobs). They will likely be alternatives to other Primal weapons, instead of being outright better. Just as with Moogle and Ifrit, some weapons are better for some builds or situations than others. They don't make the other obsolete though. Garuda weapons will likely focus on Dex/Evasion and Wind damage if I had to guess, maybe lower attack delay.

i wasnt going by the arrows but the worded version of that they put in another one of the pdfs they posted

Very enlightening and definitely food for thought, thanks. =)
