7.1 - More Wuk Lamat

[VerdeLuck]

Theyve mentioned several time during dev talks theyre close to a year in advanced in most development, and more so along with the story. Often the final touches to patch are just localization things. So yeah as much people want to believe they should do a massive Uturn on the story, they really can not. Sure they can write up a new story but implementation is a whole other task. Its why we see changes we ask for so late... it literally takes the years to do it, they only ever prioritize stuff if its breaking the game or they already have a back up planned...

This is not true, there was a dev talk linked above from earlier in the month where Yoshida mentioned the changes they had made and are making to Wuk from 6.55 and 7.0 feedback.
How is that possible if these patches are locked down a year in advance like you and others are saying? If it's impossible to change anything about the patch quests right now and these are locked down a year in advance, how is it that Yoshida can say they are focusing on making Wuk much more confident and showcasing her strength because of the feedback from 7.0?
