All the big changes in 2013???!!!!!

[Seif]

really???

I've gone through the phonebook of info now 3 times over and it seems like they're dedicating another year only to minor tweaks for us who are still playing the game.

AH, player housing, terrain changes and storyline revamps are all for the very extremely distant future in 2013??

Can somebody please slap me and tell I missed something. I'm literally dumbstruck by this decision. It's like SE just punched us in the stomach.

The pdf certainly gives something worth waiting for but they're all basic MMO stuff most of the forum poster though were going to be implemented by march this year while the most pessimistic of trolls joked about them being ready around "2 years from now". I can't believe they were right.

I just wish this is all a big mis-understanding of hilarious proportions on my part and or this is all just a terrible nightmare.

2.0 is Q4 2012, early 2013 is release of the PS3 version. That's how I interpret it anyway.

Well that is a tough question. Honestly I just thought they'd be faster than announcing it'll still take the same the time usually a normal AAA title takes to develop from scratch.

I guess this news is in no way shocking tot he crowd that has been singing SE praises after every patch because that's all they're going to get for another year.

I just really wanted to keep playing until all these changes arrive but now that they stated how long it will take and at the same time they're hitting us with a monthly fee it's like they're forcing us to quit for a year.

I guess I'll probably end up just buying few months here and there since I already bought all that crysta at launch.

Still am I the only one who thinks that's incredibly far away?

Based on the pdf they're going to postpone all the major changes by an entire year.

Basically, yes. The game is not done yet. It's no more ready to be released than Skyrim was last year, but that didn't keep them from hyping it.

Lol, and there's no guesswork involved either.

After all, who's to say FFXIV version 2.0 is even good?

Who's to say the content between then and now is good?

It might not be a wise investment, certainly given the insubstantial amount of information we have to go off. We're not exactly well-informed about what's coming.

You don't have to pay for this either. You can choose not to pay for it, and not play it until release2.0. I don't understand why people are so upset about having the option to pay to continue playing.

The answer is easy...if you think about it.

I much prefer to wait for the new system than what we have now. The current system is flawed and releasing the super-content would be less fun than what it should have been. And people would whine and say the devs fail, so it's better to have it in v2.0 so they can focus on having 2.0 out as quick as possible. Also, the game is still very fun as it is now.
