Yoshi stated in the letter xi dated 6/14/11 they were finished with the 1st raid, with the 2nd close on it's heals. They knew then, they were planning on mid July for this patch release. Which we all know now is 100% false. It's hard to take their word, with thir current track record. Something seems off.

I’m very sorry for this, but given the tremendous size of the patch, I estimate that it’ll take two more weeks beyond the anticipated mid/late-June release date to deliver it to our fans.
Ahh... Know I know, it's his perception of time. He should have stuck to his guns about not stating a time frame with being 100% positive, at least then I could respect the man more, and have more patience with him. I know he is caught in-between a rock and a hard place though, holding 2, 7 off suit sux's balls.

But come on even his date, and his 1st specific date that is greater then 3 days in advance letter no less, has a leeway of 1-2 days, so it's really between July 21st - 23rd.

I would be happy, and would gain more respect for the man, and team if they stated, "I know I F***ed up about the previous time frame, but we can't seem to get s*** straighten out, with out scrapping the entire game and starting from scratch. Tanaka's team royally f***ed things up...Big time "
