Why FFXIV saving before 1 NOV? Why OCT 31?

*dear lord*

Yes things get delayed, so why hasnt the server been delayed as well.

It HAS been delayed- by just as much as everything else has been delayed. If they were perfectly on schedule, the final save would have happened a while ago and we'd already be in beta. The road map gave no date or even an approximate range of when there would be a "final save." In fact, we didn't even know for sure at the time if our data would be carrying over or not.

I've never hard of this use of the word snowflake. The way I've heard and used it for means someone who wants to be special, specially so that they will go by means to make sure someone else cant have what they have.

Then you haven't heard of the only colliqual use of the term i've ever seen in all my years.

"You must protect my precious snowflake from the dangers at the playground! Cover everything in bubble wrap. We must protect our little snowflakes!"

"snowflake" has long been a common term on the Internet for sarcastically referring to children whose parents are demanding extreme measures to protect them.
