Letter from the Producer, XXVII (04/20/2012)

[Earl_Caldera]

Pretty surprised, but happy!

Be able to play FFXIV from version 2.0 at the discounted Legacy price, forever.
Receive an exclusive chocobo mount upon the launch of version 2.0.
Earn a place in the credits for version 2.0.

Work on patch 1.22 enters the final stage, and we’re on track for an April 26 (JST) release.

In order to deliver the patch to you in time for Golden Week, I’m afraid we’ve had to postpone a number of things. These include job-exclusive weapons, chat log reforms, and other content I touched on last time. With regards to hamlet defense, only Hyrstmill will be ready for 1.22; the remaining two hamlets will go live in 1.22a, which is scheduled for May 10. We also have plans for a patch 1.22b, which is expected to follow shortly thereafter. You can rest assured that we will maintain our pace even after 1.22 is released!

Didn't expect a discounted price...forever!

[Chardrizard]

Love you Yoshi, have my baby.

anyway, does this mean that we will get 8 character for free per account?
or we have to pay for the other 7?

[Raistlin]

Oh, and we mustn’t forget about the lesser moon Dalamud, which seems to grow larger and angrier with each blink of the eyes. And speaking of eyes, you might want to keep one out for the logo we’ve put together for the Legacy Campaign.

WTF is a cementery?

Edit: or Swords?

[yukikaze_yanagi]

for free i assume. The letter only mention costs for prolunged billing and retainers, not additional characters.
Anyhow, can we have a clarifications on AF weapons ? for "postoned" is assumed 1.22x or 1.23 ?

[BigCajonez88]
