Place your bets....

If SE had a choice, and the DEV team was rocketing along, I would say September/21/2011
At the current rate of development, I would say Oct-Nov/2011

The funny thing is, I could bet a trillion gil because nobody is on my server to collect it

Even if he gets it out before 23rd he will of already failed his "before end of summer" as we've still not got no Ifrit battle that was promised among other changes (jobs etc).

I doubt before 23rd though, maybe near end of month or October.

TBH it was silly to say it all could be done before summer, i expected it up till end of year.

yeah... kinda sad

Rise of Zilart was a huge expansion one year after release.

One year at release, you would expect they could give people an ifrit battle.

I guess they are too busy oversimplifying the crafting system and subtracting pre-existing systems instead of just building on them.

It will come out by the 22nd.

[Falcus]

It will come out by the 22nd.

This is my guess as well.

[Vesper]

Sept 21 if they're smart. Would make a hell of a BANG for a 1st year anniversary.

God this game will be a year old with no mail system as well as a very poorly implemented search for the market... God how can a year have passed?

I think it'll likely be delayed 1-2 weeks, but we'll see.

The current holiday event ends Sep 20th. I suspect the patch to land either on the 20th or on the 21st.

Please re-read developer letter X at http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...805-20-2011%29

It clearly stats that in the current/planned for before end of summer that only Design and Evaluation of Jobs will occur. And since those 2 facets of development we don't see in game, for all you know their word is kept.

Implementation for all job related things is in the future tasks column, meaning AFTER summer is done.

Ifrit also is 1.19 as many ppl have stated already, which is supposedly coming around the last few days of summer.

Surely it will come out before September 22nd.

Are you being sarcastic as usual?
