Two months since last update

[Sephrick]

It was two months ago today that we got out last progress update via a Letter from the Producer.

Anyone think we'll get an update soon? I'm anxious to see the road beyond 1.21 a little.

What do you hope to see on it?

[Junpei]

I expect it will be in the next letter, like he said it would be in the one that was released a few days ago.

I hope to see more beastman strongholds and more viable grind camps around the world for varying levels. a tonne more crafted gear, gear with activated abilities, a bazaar meld option!

[Rosuto]

a bazaar meld option!

That would actually be very nice, how it would work I'm not quite sure though. Perhaps allow you to designate which materia you want melded out of your inventory? Would be awesome to afk overnight and come back to a melded item.

choose a piece of gear, choose the materia, have a fixed fee like current repairs, 40+ = 500gil etc etc.
people come along, have the class, boom, they explode your gear

Least you would come back to more inventory space I suppose haha.

FYI this is not directed at the OP, but some of the angsting/responses which will not be pointed out.

I really don't think we need updates all the time. Everyone knows the direction the game is going, we have a road map, and i find it rather pointless for Yoshida to tell us every time he takes a dump or drops his cheeseburger. Just play the game and enjoy it, there's no reason to sit and angst over the next word from the producers. They'll get you the word when there's actually something substantial worth reporting. There is no point in announcing things piecemeal; it is infinitely better, and wiser, to compile tidbits and release them all at once when you can be sure of what you're saying. Otherwise if they announce something, and change it a few weeks later, everyone here will rage and complain. Practice some patience.

Imo everyone should be happy the 1.2 patch is being fixed so regularly. Imo thats whats most important. Sure new stuff is cool, but i dont need to know it until they are about to implement it. No one is keeping you in the dark, there just wasn't enough to say, or it hadn't been finalized. Players take the "communication" business way too far. Play the game, give suggestions, and wait it out. Btw lol @ at some of the conspiracy theories. I think some ppl have way too much time on their hands if all they can do is go "Why haz Yoshida no called me!!1?!11?"

Really, relax lol. So far SE has delivered, including giving you a very cheap game to play (way undervalued imo at the current monthly fee). Eat drink and be merry...i thought we could be through with the angsting when the non-subs got booted.

Sorry if I seem argumentative but there are free-to-play MMOs that are better than today's FFXIV.

Also, going to the opposite extreme then going reductio ad absurdum on the other end's point of view is a great way to be ignored/discarded by the people you are trying to reach.

Now that I'm paying I fully expect Alchemist, Culinarian & to a lesser extent Goldsmithing to finally get finished and implemented in 1.21. The whole color thing was good and all, but the crafting system is still in the same lopsided state it was put into on 1.19s release. My main craft is or was ALC, so I've been dying for info for more than just 2 months lol. If any info on this has been posted already I'd appreciate someone directing me to it ^^.

not gonna hunt down the quote, but its been stated we should be getting the recipes for alch cooking and jewelry in 1.21, and old recipes will be removed in 1.22

I actually looked back last week to determine when the last time we actually got any substantial information about the game, and I have to agree with you that letter, which is 2 months old now, is the last substantial bit of information that we have received to date.

I was expecting another "Letter from the Producer" last Thursday or Friday. Alas, the one we recently received was NOT what I was hoping for.

Anyway, I sure hope to see something about something soon!
