Need for Occult Crescent in 7.2, not 7.25

[Sivante]

Didn't they already say it was due in 7.2? Thought the live letters said 7.2 flat, not 7.25, or am I mistaken?

In a video playing the game with the father of FF, he said "it will release in 7.2 or 7.25, I'm not sure which, I'll have to ask the team." But there was never any follow-up when he said this.

Its 7.25

They wont drop content like that the same time they drop normal raids and savage on top of MSQ.

It's impossible to know exactly because of how they promote things. An expansion's feature list will include things that will be added or iterated on throughout the expansion's entire patch cycle, and a patch's feature list will include things that will be added throughout the entire duration of the patch. That being said, field ops content and anything related to it(like Gangos and Delubrum) has historically been in X.Y5.

Weird that a casual niche MMO doesn't actually have casual content eh? Because I can't see a single reason why anyone would play this over WoW (any version) for raiding, PvP and tryhard content, with the small exception of DD solo which is basically all FFXIV has going for it.

It also prevents splitting all the players up. For example, if they release Cosmic Exploration and Occult Crescent at once, it is logically going to split players up so there's less activity to get each done individually. This looks likely to happen even if they delay one of them a bit. It's more of a concern for less populated data centers such as Dynamis or Materia

The other factor with that is that Savage players would also be populating this along with more casual players and it would definitely suffer if it dropped right on 7.2.

So what I'm hearing is we delay Savage Tier for Occult Crescent? High-End Content Players got a sizable chunk of things before, they can have some relaxation with the rest of us

You'd also be delaying the normal mode that's released a week before and denying both the more casual and more hardcore players that to do.

Personally,

I would be inclined to just release Crescent in 7.2, inc., Savage... -- Sorry, but not sorry.. - The world isn't going to end because you needed to make a choice between a and b.

I know it will be contentious, but this whole "Nobody must miss out, or be slightly inconvenienced", is precisely the reason why this game drip feeds everything at an utterly horrific pace, and why 1 side of the playerbase is starving whilst another side is eating good.

Oh yeah probably, but I'm just a little jaded with the whole >>> (No Deco Increase yet, No Interior Housing Expansion yet, Minimal Casual Content that is New, Waiting for next PvP Season to see if its horrid or not, Lack of Story Interest, No word AFAIK about other smaller bits of Casual Content only the Big Ones)
