Thread: 2.1 Release Rumors

I keep seeing that 2.1 will likely be in Nov. What is everyone else hearing?

I was always under the impression of November as well.

It's most likely November...patches are supposed to be released every 3 months.

This 2.1 patch better be a very good one - not some minor things that no one really ask for. The game is amazing from level 1-50 but endgame right now is borderline tedious and sorely lacking - not in a good way.

November 14th. Why? http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/blog/000517.html

This special FATE is scheduled to go live on November 14, a week before the Japanese release of LIGHTNING RETURNS: FFXIII! Hope you're all prepared to unravel the secrets of Lightning in Eorzea!

As a special treat, you can take a look at the LIGHTNING RETURNS side of the collaboration to see how Eorzea bleeds into Lightning's world!

I could be wrong though...

Has to be before Nov 14 for the Lightning fate.

I'd fully expect mid November but at the same time i'm not blind as to what this game needs sooner rather than later so it retains any noteworthy subs which is why if they really care about the game this patch needs to come out in October, the sooner the better.

Yikes! Might want to change the spelling to Yoshida. But yes I know the Lightning Fate won't need to be patched in, just thinking since they got the new fate coming, having the 2.1 patch around the same time would get more press and hopefully more people resubbing or coming back to check them both out at once. Your guess is as good as mine, at least we know it is coming.
