Ishgard coming after the battle changes

[Abriael]

In the Japanese (linky) forum a rep responded that the implementation of ishgard doesn't have a final timeframe, but will be implemented after the battle changes.

Just a heads up, since many are waiting quite anxiously to pass that gate

Well I imagine it would open at some point after the battle changes. I mean it'd be hard for them to implement it before them lol. Just don't get yourself too excited, it's probably not going to immediately follow it.

Is Ishgard even a friendly city?

It is, it's one of the city states of eorzea like the other three.

You always demand

When?

When?

This is an overwhelmingly silly demand. Game development is not an exact science, and no game developer that works with any decent professionality gives timeframes or dates for the release of patches before everything is finalyzed, because testing times cannot be properly estimated.

Otherwise you end up doing like Creative Assembly with Shogun 2. They released their game without a publicized feature (Dx 10+ and antialiasing) without even warning their customer. And after release they promised that it'd come in a patch in "2-4 weeks". Then the 4 weeks passed, and they had to announce it would be delayed a further month, causing justified rage aplenty.

In game development you don't make promises you're not sure you can keep. That's a golden rule.

When it's ready. That's when. Would you rather them rush it out the door like they did the launch?

You say that as if we're being unduly impatient.

You say that as if we're being unduly impatient.

And he would be right.

When it comes it comes who really cares Ishgard is not the be all to end all in the game

[Betelgeuzah]

But the question is: do they mean "after all the battle changes are done" or "after the first part of the battle changes is done"?

'Cause there's probably a 2-3 month timeframe between those two.
