Keep an eye on the Lodestone on October 14 at 5:00 p.m. (JST). We’re going to be making a progress report of what we’ve accomplished so far, and release some files detailing our future plans for the game so that you, the best fans in the world, can continue playing FFXIV with a sense of comfort and pride.

Ok, i'm pretty EXCITED to see it now. *_*

edit: A great read. Thank you Yoshi and devs to go to create a great FF14.

This is the kind of stuff I am hoping is what is needed to give a direction to the game, and I'm glad he's focusing on that.

IMO this is the best letter he has done so far, since it is focusing on a longer term vision rather than just a few month forecast.

With patch 1.19 and this letter, you've solidified my faith in this game. I don't often post on the forums about the things I enjoy, mostly because I'm in game enjoying them. But after reading this and playing post 1.19, I think it's time I said thank you to you, the dev team, the community team and everyone else that's been a part of FFXIV. Thank you for all your hard work.

I'm glad you're having a great time, and I'm personally having a bit of a better time, but I do believe people will burn out on this patch quicker than 1.18. There is still work to do.

The most exciting thing about this patch is obviously the crafting overhaul and how it has revitalized people to go out, get new stuff, and then work with the materia system to delete old stuff.

The power leveling run also really hyped interest in the patch.

Burn out before 1.20? Sure. But quicker than 1.18? I highly doubt that.

Materia alone is a huge time sink, especially if you have multiple 50s. And Ifrit is quite difficult, which will keep people playing for a while until they finally gear their Linkshells up. Don't forget we also have 3 strongholds, for those who like the completion bonus of getting boss kill achievements.

For most people, there's still plenty to do.

Great read. That was very different from many of the previous letters. Whoever translated that did an amazing job.
