    You must not be very familiar with the history of this forum, and with the posting history of certain individuals that do absolutely nothing else than hating on the game and on its development team.

    it's not surprising that they'd dive on this crapola like vultures trying their hardest to pump it up as fact.

    As a matter of fact I don't have "expectations" on a release date, but as one that does the job he does, I learned to distinguish between an unsustantiated rumor with zero credibility and a source that can hold some.

    This belongs to the first type.

    She's been around long enough and been in enough of certain topics to see the difference and actually thinkinig rationally about things rather than...

    ahem.

    Throwing people into categories based on personal beliefs. You know, the "certain individuals" doesn't go around telling posters their opinions, thoughts, speculation or feelings are "unimportant" and "means nothing" oh! and "lack logical sense."

    It's quite funny how the ones you claim as the "FUDmongers" are the ones you're usually attacking most of the time.

    Someone that thinks rationally would know that a random pole with 173 followers on twitter isn't exactly a credible source.

    Someone with any knowledge about game development would know that this rumor is as realistic as a green sky with yellow polka dots.

    Anyone with game development knowledge would know the the past decade development cost and time has nearly tripled and that it's pretty common for things to take awhile to get released as well as a company pulling departments together to push out something.

    Subsidiaries are usually the ones that get brought into the main house for a project, the way SE is setup it just makes it sound worse than it actually is.

    No one is disagreeing with you if delays happen. However, why you intend to further believe this false rumor is true from an uncreditable source is beyond me.

    Development cost and time have nothing to do with it. The kind of professional figures required to develop a MMORPG and a single player action RPG are only partly overlapping. The idea that the whole FFvXIII team has been put to work on a MMORPG is ludicrous, because besides a few exceptions the only ones that would be able to transition seamlessly to the new game would be artists, sound designers, writers and the like.

    The FFXIV team was never short on those, and it's ludicrous to argue that Square Enix just put everyone else in a limbo waiting for the project to resume.

    Something of that scope would have reached the Japanese press (that has very strong contacts at SE) way before it reached a random pole on twitter.
