Job system has already been confirmed to come post-1.20.

So the list is nothing to go by then and we might or might not get two patches by mid Sept

Basically yes. You can look at the 'mount system' items and notice that they sound like they're not far in development at all, but they'll still be included in 1.19 unless delayed. Different items take different amount of time to develop and test, in a nutshell.

IMO only the patch density matters, not the number of them. It's not set in stone what items are included in which patches. Two patches alone may be enough to keep them in schedule, if they're packed with content.

Either way, letter XV was such an obvious stalling letter to give him more time. Hopefully he won't miss the date by a month this time.

hahaha, you think 1.21 will be out by october, thats good stuff.

You sound a bit lost.

It's always a good idea to actually read what the list says, in order to recognise what's due by the end of the Summer.

It doesn't say jobs will be implemented by the end of summer.

Current:

-Development of core mechanics for the job system

-Establish the details of the initial set of jobs and their skills

-Development of graphical assets for each job such as equipment

Future:

-Cost assessment for job system implementation

-Determine the attributes of each job

-Stage by stage implementation of job-specific weapons and armor

Nothing in the current list says anything about Job implementation, and the future list only talks about eventual stage by stage implementation of gear.

Dev/Community reps hints?

I dont see anything wrong with requesting details for the next letter, hopefully this post will let them know how curious we are and you'll get a direct response.

Exactly, remember the other times people had a heart attack, because we didn't get a producers letter in a given time frame? and the Dev gave a "hinted" response as to when it was coming and surely enough it came. Like I said im not in no rush at all if I get an answer great if not i'll continue my FFXIV travels till it does. I'm not sure why some people have to be so hostile.

It'll be here when it's here. My guess is a letter next Mon or Tue.

Why implement gear if the jobs aren't out? that makes absolutely no sense at all It will serve no purpose till the Jobs come out :/

If you want to get Technical Everything on that lists doesn't say anything will be implemented.

Just because the "word" isn't there doesn't mean it will or will not happen

The gear implementation is listed for Future, not Current. Current being the stuff that is expected by the end of Summer, future stuff being...wait for it....future plans.

True they don't all list implementation but all that's listed under the Current job section specifically states "development" or "establish" meaning still in the planning/creating phases.
