Letter from the Producer, XXVIII (05/28/2012)

[Inanna]

disappointing

[Colino]

New Roadmap shows the Promotional Campaign beginning in Aug. This is probably when we will start seeing the "flood of Information" he was talking about.

The quietest month in the whole industry when no one announces anything (for a reason) is when they decide to start marketing.

I think that explains itself really.

I'm surprised all you disappointed people haven't already taken up the philosophy of "Hope for the best, expect the worst."

Anyway, I am kind of glad there won't be a 3~4 month period of video and actual releasing of 2.0. Video just before release will build more excitement. I'm sorry for all of you who are saddened *hugs*

Look forward to the new site though!

My excitement level dropped when Black Mage/Paladin wasn't everything I was waiting a year for.

Excuse me if my hopes for 2.0 aren't too optimal.

Crappy drop rates with crappy rewards anyway. Not only is crappy rewards, but the materia systems makes it even worse. If materia system wasn't out I'd actually go for a Garuda staff, but because you can meld Intelligence into a thaumaturge weapon, why bother fighting Garuda when it's easier to meld?(I don't understand how no one is bothered by that)

Limited to 15 moves.

The storyline they are giving us is so god damn random I have no idea what's going on. I got the faded paper and I have no idea what to do with it. Might even be too late to pass it in. It's not even interesting unless Darnus is in the cutscene. I am not getting a impending doom feeling from the story at all... more like hurry up and get to the damn point, it's turning out to be CoP all over again with it's stupid Lord of the Rings sam and frodo scenes. Prishe is the Apocalypse Bringer bleh bleh bleh run to sandy, then run to here, then here, fight this, run back to sandy, find out again Prishe is the apocalypse bringer.

Classes Armor/Weapons... why would you use class gear when you could have double melded gear for both class and job. Why would you have two sets from one class and one job if you have all jobs?

Adding PVP restriction when PVP isn't even out!? (Movement cancel...)

No lol, as I said I have no interest in CGI footage, the way the producer letter reads to me and maybe (just maybe) I have jumped to the wrong conclusion is that SE won't be showing much at all at E3, I guess we will have to see in a week or so.

What I am disappointed about is that they led us to believe otherwise and have since changed there mind, sure shit happens ... are you saying I am not allowed to voice my opinions ? or is that considered whining ?

There is a difference between the two, perhaps you don't realise the difference though, or maybe you just wanted to troll and berate my post ?

You are both right and wrong. You are right in the fact that they will not be doing anything with Ver 2.0 at E3. You are wrong in assuming that we were promised anything more then a trailer at E3. If a trailer was the only thing scheduled for E3 then I can wait a little longer for more detailed info.
Please understand that the New promotional campaign would begin in Aug <as per the new roadmap>. That does not mean that we have to wait that long for more info concerning Ver 2.0.I suspect that we will start seeing more details sooner then that
Also noticed that a patch 1,22c is planned. First I heard of that. Did I miss something there?

"Sorry I know you thought the apocalypse was coming and that you were all going to die this month but if you could just have some patience and wait a little longer..."

You did, it was mentioned in a dev response last week.

It's like watching Dragonball Z on toonami all over again. Get to the Frieza fight, next day back to the Raditz saga. Few months later, goku goes super saiyan, next day back to the Raditz saga, few months later Goku fights Frieza, and etc.

Probably, thing is you kind of expect certain things from E3, and when the producer says he will be at E3 and that they have a planned in game trailer you expectations are further increased.

I fully understand that we have to wait until August now, (I'm not stupid :P) but that still doesn't make sense from a PR point of view, it's almost as if they are trying to cover something up by postponing this trailer and most of the 2.0 information.

It's hard to say if E3 will bring any kind of 2.0 news and information at this point as the letter can be interpreted either way, people with hope are seeing the best of this and those who are disappointed are seeing the worse.

Sadly this game has disappointed me too many times at this stage and I refuse to see the silver lining, especially when I was looking forward to E3.

Seems like only you and me are the only ones that understand the meaning behind the letter :/. Keep forgetting theirs more trolls than white knights ( if you wanna call us that anyhow) I'm just speaking my mind on how I see the letter lol.

Just for the record I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THE TRAILER ISN'T COMING AT E3!! But I also understand why they revoked it too till August. People just only look at 1 side of the coin when there's 2 sides to every coin. :/

Hmm ok, one sec...

O Wizel, White Warrior, Wielder of the ancent sword, Grant me your power..... Verto! *commence awesome music and transformation CS* Now I am the white knight of the game.

That will translate to anyone who has played WKC btw.
