did we ever get a flood of information?

[Alhanelem]

Oh I read every single thread here and everyone of Reinhart's excellent translations. Last week I caught myself reading it at work as he was typing it. I suppose it's better than my boss catching me... My point about the website was a) Why set it up and not use it and b) why not collect information as it is presented in one place.

I'm not even asking for detailed information but just what will be available and roughly when. I have gone from thinking that the following at a minimum would be available on 2.0 release:

Free Companies
Chocobo raising
Housing
PvP
Crystal Tower

to reading all kinds of vague statements in the interviews making me think that only a basic implementation of Free Companies and (some of) Crystal Tower will be available. Up until last weeks interviews I was sure Chocobo raising would be in the release of 2.0 only to read the following nugget of a non-answer in Reinhart's translation of the interview:

Just confirmation but for the Chocobo raising system, this will be available from the launch of ARR FFXIV correct?
Y: Development team is working hard. I’ve been scolded that the “Cost is too high!” (laugh)

Seriously! If they don't know the answer to this then the release is quite far into the future or I am very very frightened about the content of 2.0.

If you're "very, very frightened" about anything, then you're taking it all way too seriously, and you're also assuming the worst.

It's more important that these features are done right than be released immediately.

Well, very, very frightened in the context of this being a video game of course...

I do agree that it is more important to get these features right but the mere promise to see them in the future will most likely not be enough to retain players who try the game so better then to hold off on the release until they are done properly.
