Content wise they could have a huge amount ready but are holding off until the core mechanics are done ie. Battle system. It has always seemed like content was pulled out of the game very crudely before launch I wonder if they feel like they are ready with the core fixes to put it all back in.

I know a lot of people think SE are stupid and that they launched with no content because they hadn't made any but I really don't think that was the case. I think it was more likely they knew they needed to make changes to the core mechanics of the game and made a decision to pull everything they could hoping that we had enough to keep us going for 3-6 months while they got the fixes in place then just readjust the content for the new systems and gear up for the PS3 launch.

Unfortunately it has taken them longer to make the fixes but we are nearing that point now, maybe they are getting ready to unlock all the readjusted content with the new systems in place. Sounds crazy I know but you never know, it's either that or SE really doesn't know whatthey are doing and have been bumbling their way through development all this time.
Thanks for that confirmation on the date change! That was why I found it odd myself. Another reason I find it odd is that we have a list full of stuff that is supposed to be done "By the end of summer", which, as Yoshi puts it, is at the end of September.

Could it be that SE is planning the PS3 right after the majority of the fixes are slated to be done?

Is it possible that we could see this actually launch in October? Could we get a huge expansion of content they way they did it for FFXI?
