Two months since last update

[Ilean]

well we all know that yoship and the devs are pulling some serious hours. especially now that we are paying for the game now.

but do we?

SE seems to operate in thirds, with early, mid and late periods to the months -- with some overlapping of course. I'd hazard a guess that in an average month early means 1-10, mid means 11-20 and late means 21-30.

Well, IMO there is something else in there...it's not really like them, whose used to post here even if just to say someone farted at SE office, stay over a month silent...in special being the first month after billing start.

Also, another point is that the last 2 info we got actually were related to Yoshida's health, not the game...seeing the situation the game is right now, it would be a best time to step back due health issues..."force majeure" happens.

You see...in the current scenario, if he leave now he's already well known (he was a "no one" when he took over), if the FFXIV succeed it will automatically be because of the changes he started (regardless of what the person who take his place do) and if FFXIV fail it would automatically be because of the dude who took over his place (again, regardless of what the person who take his place do)...so it's a win-win scenario for him actually stepping back due health issues in the next months (of course...it would be something that require many more health updates, being a situation worth of another ~2 months).

So, in short, i wouldn't be surprised if he step back somewhere in the next 1-3 months due health issues since it's the perfect period to leave with a reputation intact regardless of what happen to FFXIV at 2.0 on. Who knows...Yoshida always were at DQ games, not FF...maybe they just wanted to build some fame here before moving him back to DQ since FF was always way more famous than DQ at occident, luring some of those FF fans who liked his work here to look foward to his next projects there too.

2 days fever at first time...by last letter seems like was interned too after. I'm just tossing random theories 4fun based on the "suspicious behavior" they have been having since december. ^^

Yoshi is a important member of the team no doubt, however him being hospitalized for a fever should not detract from the games progress. Everyone on the FFXIV team knows their jobs and is probably busy at work without Yoshi.

Probably! ^^ I bet right now they might only need him for fine-tunning purposes since all the major aspects of the game seems to be already decided.

I gave up waiting >.> Not in a bad way...I just mean I gave up expecting to see somethin new when I check forums everyday...it'll come when it comes I guess. Having played FFXI since release I am used to SE being late...so who knows..maybe sometime in Feb we will get some news

I guess I need to get into that frame of mind I really thought there was going to be some sort of announcement today.

You have to or you'll end up all bitter and angsty.

Does that mean I have to start reading Twilight and listening to Death Cab?

If that's the case, SE can take as long as they like.
