Thread: 1.19 Producer Letter When?

Did you not read his last paragraph?

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.

This is What Yoshida said in Letter X:

It’s been a while since I last updated our list of changes, so I figured it was due for a good clean up. Like last time, I’ve grayed out the items already implemented and noted what patch they were released in. New entries to the list are appropriately marked as -NEW-. The Battle System section was getting a bit large, so I made a separate category for enemy and field changes. This time around, the list contains additions planned for up until summer 2011. You see what I did there with the bold font for emphasis? But anywho, without further ado, feast your eyes on the list in its entirety! (Remember, these are our plans until summer 2011!)

" His plans Untill Summers end of 2011" After summer is over those things should be implemented and the plans after Summer will be said at some point or another and so.

and within that list States the " Job System" Which is in the Summer 2011 list so.

Everything thats not " Future tasks" because those are things in the foreseen future that may or may not be in by summers end but the other 2 sections should be implemented.

Thats just me though

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.
