Spoilers in Patch Notes

[Magnesium02]

In the 2.3 preliminary patch notes, the name of the boss of turn 9 is listed in the New Achievements section. For those who know a bit about Eorzea's lore but haven't reached turn 9 themselves and seen the cutscenes and have been trying to avoid spoilers for it, it could be a very unwanted surprise to have that revealed.

I know I avoided all spoilers and had a simply "OMG" moment when I reached t9 and I don't want the ruined for anyone.

I'm going to second (and indirectly third) this.

Whilst I knew of the particular spoiler, my partner didn't. She had purposefully avoided any temptation to find out what was happening in Second Coil. But having read the patch notes (because who doesn't want to see what changes are coming), she's a little miffed that this has been spoiled for her.

Please take a bit of care, SE, to blot out any details which pertain to the story and lore aspects in the notes.

If you havent heard of the T9 Boss by now, I'm sorry.

I will be looking forward to tackling this new Savage Coil.

So self-centered and inconsiderate. There are those who haven't been playing as long as you have, and so things that are old news for you might be fresh and new for them.

To be fair, anyone who hasn't played that long probably doesn't know who that guy is and why it's an OMG moment.

They probably won't even care anyway. That's like telling someone who's never heard of the Red Hot Chili Peppers that Dave Navarro used to be in the band.

Dave who? Exactly.

@_@ It happened to me. There I was eating of the delicious patch notes when WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM...I saw the spoiler. I won't lose any sleep over it, but I hope that we can spare at least one person the terrible fate I suffered.

I am a 1.0 player and thus would've appreciated this OMG moment, in fact I still went "OMG" just reading the patch notes. I am just a very inefficient player (always have been), so it takes me a lot longer to get things done in-game. Most people are very surprised to see my legacy tattoo. I don't blame them.

That's a good point and now that I think about it, it seems unnecessary to even put the names of the bosses in the notes.

It was already spoiled in 2.2 patch note. Don't read the patch notes if you don't want to be spoiled.

Realy? I must have missed that back then, thankfully.

Still think this is something the devs should amend
