Release date of 2.4?

**kyuven** · 09-22-2014 02:58 AM

Most likely dates: Oct 21, Oct 28, Nov 4.
The second and third are the most likely.

There will probably be another live letter (probably the las vegas fanfest one) where they will show the second portion of the patch and announce the date.

For 2.3 they split the patch preview into 2 parts, the first section for the most part had the new dungeons and ramuh, then they did another one that had the rest of the stuff.

2nd part will probably show new third coil, maybe show off some of the new tome gear, new hildibrand quests, vanity gear, and a list of QoL changes.

I'm thinking most of the delay involves the Gold Saucer stuff. But I seriously doubt that Fanfest will be 2.4-centric. I'm willing to put money on Fanfest not only detailing 2.5, but also giving us a CGI trailer for 3.0 and talking about changes from 2.0 to 3.0 that may be involved.

I am personally hoping for the current job change system to be abolished as it has put the devs into a corner when developing other classes/jobs that use the same weapons as pre-existing classes/jobs. There is no way the game will be able to handle the amount of jobs Final Fantasy has with the way things are now.

...and as a player who clocks in an average of four hours a day on this game since Beta 3 of 2.0, I still find myself with a lot of things to do. Do I want fresh content? Sure, but I can keep myself busy with tribals, hunts, Zodiac Weapons, crafting/gathering, chocobo training, etc.

i have the same feeling actually, even if the live letter was not filled with a lot of information, we did know most part of what to wait from it. indeed we had no info regarding BC3, but generally the website they put before the patch contain far more info than the live letter ^^

That, and we also have a title! Dreams of Ice. Usually they don't wait long after a title drop to launch the new patch.

yoshida have let heard that fanfest will mostly have information about the expansion, then either we will have get the 2.4 before the fanfest or he is a tease ^^

I have a very strong feeling 2.4 will be out before Fanfest. Maybe by a week or so, but definitely before Fanfest.

So that all the fan will rip him to pieces after raging like hell when they discovered that X and/or Y from 2.4 is bad ?! That seems dangerous.

Actually it won't work like this because they [usually] have scripted Q&A sessions, and very rarely take questions about a recently implemented patch. They will however, rip him a new one about personal housing if Yoshi gives the players a chance to talk past patch content.

It would make sense for the team to put out 2.4 before Fan Fest so players who can't be there can at least enjoy some content while they get new expansion content information poured on them. If they don't do this another likely scenario is Fan Fest attendees will be able to play 2.4 content at the venue before everyone else, and then they'll release patch 2.4 a few days to a week after Fan Fest. Win-win situation whichever they choose.

People who act that immaturely about certain things from 2.4 being bad will act just as poorly about 2.4 not even being released yet. I doubt it'll increase animosity one way or the other. At least, if they release it before Fanfest, there'll be some feedback beyond "What's taking so long!?"
