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!

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!

It really makes me wonder if they even have a poll. We were promised a poll after the last update, and I'm pretty sure it said the middle of January (I may be wrong). I just wish we could see actual info on the next patches and where are they at with 2.0, you know SOMETHING to give us a heads up on everything.

the real challenge for them is not to fulfill a time schedule,
but to maintain the hopes.
what will be much more difficult.

Well considering they're not exactly amazing with the whole time schedule thing they mate want to invest as much as possible on "hope".

It's especially curious considering that the dev road map slated 1.21 for early February -- the first of which is next Wednesday.

Perhaps they'll save the next big projection for after 1.21?

[SniperRifle]

They need to do a few more prayer offerings and take some more team photos for SE's Facebook before they start working on the player polls and quality producer letters. Oh and some more improper use of red ties. 1.21 will be delayed about a month because of this unfortunately...

[Fated]

"Early February" is a very loose translation that doesn't quite deliver the message. I recall at one point that "early month" can mean up to the 14th. I also remember Reinhart stating at one point that the initial "early February" was actually meant to be between the 1st and the 10th.

But, at this point all we can do is wait for the official word. We are pretty overdue for some kind of schedule update.

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.
