What are you looking forward to next week?

[DurtiMonkeyToe]

Hello Community,

High noon on Friday! At least here in the CST zone, and as I sit here eating my lunch I can't help but think about what next week might bring.

Next week will mark the end of the "Mid-Late June" Time Frame that was first mentioned in the letter from Yoshi-P (#9) posted on May 2, 2011. It will also mark the beginning of the "Early-Mid July" Time Frame mentioned in our last letter from Yoshi-P on June 14th (#11).

While I don't expect a patch next week, I am hopeful that we will get some further communication. We may be due for a new Letter from the Producer next week as we have gotten approximately 2 per month this far and Monday will mark exactly 2 weeks from our last communication from Yoshi. Recent focus, in my opinion, has been on details surrounding Dungeons. The question is, what will the Dev Team touch on next? It seems to me that the Devs have been a little bit more tight lipped than usual this month, our first round of details didn't come until the middle of the month. A week following that we were given some minor details about the dungeons, but it contained little more than the Dungeon's names, required levels, and the prerequisite quest that will be required (I can only speculate) to enter the dungeon.

What do you hope to see next week? Company info updates? Details on systems in development? Details on the job system? Details on the mount system?

You tell me!

More silence.

I haven't logged on in about 1.5 weeks and have been playing other things. My excitement is gone, replaced by skepticism of what we will see in the next big patch.

2 Dungeons, Auto Attack, New Animations, no chocobos, no airships, no mail system. Will those 2 dungeons be enough to gain our interest long enough to bring in more content? I doubt it, but we'll see.

next patch will also contain

recipe changes/new recipes
removal of fatigue/surplus

still digging out other things confirmed to be in next patch, and thats just what we know

Agreed. No one has a comprehensive list of what is actually coming in 1.18. We only know what has been confirmed.

Don't forget "quest hubs" to make zones more unique. Also, I don't expect fatigue to be removed next patch. It very well could be, but I have a feeling they will be monitoring it once more before removing it. I do hope they remove it though and monitor how THAT works instead and adjust SP in 1.19 if there are any issues.

quest hubs werent promised for 1.18(yet), they were "upcoming" things to be added

also, fatigue removal was in fact confirmed already, so it is going in 1.18

Could you support that with a direct quote? I'm not trying to be a jerk. I just think I missed that. I know it is coming, but I don't remember anything being said that it will be removed in 1.18 indefinitely.

Edit: Also, in the 9th letter that previewed the quest hubs, it was slated for patch 1.18. The quest hubs that were said to be in 1.19 are the beast tribe hubs. Of course, this doesn't definitively confirm the hubs for Limsa, Thanalan, and Shroud, but with all the development time given to them between 1.17 and 1.18, I feel it's possible to incorporate them. We'll see.

i dont wanna dig through the dev tracker to find it(its in there somewhere)

but yoshi specificaly said it was being removed alongside the addition of the new dungeons

i believe it was also retouched on in a few more recent dev posts

Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition for the PC.

Amazon lied about their preorder date (24th June) so I'm guessing it'll be another week or 2.

A long term plan akin to what they did in 11 would help.

But it seems that yoshi p is taking to heart cries that we want screenshot and videos worth of development. I want more of this, detailing how the job systems and materia system works.
