Is this some kind of cruel joke, SE? Are you just mocking us with this statement?

I don't care what means you use to create equipment, 6 months is a ****ing joke and admitting this is an absolutely atrocious PR move if true...

Yes its a joke lol in the saddest sense. Whats even more a joke is how full of life the concept artists drawings are and how mundanely the artwork is brought to life in the game. I want Final Fantasy armor not Lord of the Rings armor. MAKE SOME DAMN Final Fantasy armor. STOP USING THE SAME DRAGGED THRU THE MUD COLORS. And i just dont mean dragged thru the mud as in overused colors i mean the colors look like MUD too often. Least i got the onion doublet to afk in town in because it surely has some real color in it.
