Why does this patch feel rushed like when the game was released?

6 months is actually not the industry standard for creating high res models. most 3d artists can do it much faster, but i think he meant the time it takes from when they decide a new armor should exist to it existing, a lot of that time is probably spent in planning stages.

Personally i think they spend too long in planning, 6 months is how long i would take to do a 3d model in my off time, when im bored, and thats with me relearning the whole 3d software.

i have to agree with this.
it would take me a few hours to create a weapon mesh and texture using amateur made programs in FFXI. if i can do that then im sure they can pump out something proffessional with an actual team and actual software shorter than a 6 month span.
