Information on 1.21 Next week?

**Mug** · 02-25-2012 12:05 AM

Meanwhile on FFXI's official website they had two updates today. Their fifth and sixth update this week alone.

Maybe they still don't think we've calmed down enough after the server merge hoopla.

SO, where the hell is the development information?

I assumed we would start getting some more communication between the devs and the players. Especially this close to the largest patch in FFXIV to date.

Guess I'm a sucker for thinking us (now paying customers) would get treated any differently.

/losing patience

Deadline is pretty much up for the tolerance of silence between them and us imo.

You can make an amazing game all you want, but if people get fed up and leave because of poor communication between devs and players, forget it.

the only dev post we've even gotten were translated from jpn to eng and reinheart did them before anyone else.

Changing server merge wouldn't prevent content teams from being able to produce news posts fine detailing jobs, they could have released final details about 1 job, on tuesday and thursday, only using up 2 bits of information, and it would have subdued the masses a little, an entire week of silence is very disconcerting.

/rage on

My thoughts exactly. This is supposed to be the biggest patch since the release of this blunder of a game 1.5 years ago. With all the job changes etc in this patch, there is still no news, no pics, videos, ANY kind of information even how the patch is coming along, the Friday before March 1? I mean go look at the Lodestone postings in February, I guess I should go work on my Love Letter to SE.

They ask us to wait a bit longer, and have patience .... to please wait. Well, that is all I have been doing since beta. And now at this point in time, a crucial/game changing patch that was supposed to be released middle of February and we were told they are pushing for end of February release, AND STILL NO MEANINGFUL INFORMATION posted on the Lodestone for the entire month of February, is appalling.

Patience, please wait a while longer, at this point, my patience is really wearing thin.

Hi All,

Another thing that I worry about are all the months leading up to 2.0.

Besides 1.21 (and the exciting-sounding Final Fantasy Job System (joy)), seeing the concept art that Yoshida-san showed us for the next Primals (like Garuda Weapons and Leviathan Weapons)...

If the Content we're going to be getting between now and 2.0 Launch (end of the year hopefully) is just 1 Primal Fight every Patch, to string us along, is that enough to keep us busy?

I can't imagine what the forums will be like after, say, 1.22, or 1.23 (spaced 2 - 3 months apart) if the main content is just another Primal fight.

In hindsight, I wish Square had spent a bit of time to develop a Long Term, Larger Goal-Driven "System" to keep us busy between 1.18 -> 2.0, like a Dynamis System or, say, Sky (Tulia).

Not literally copying them, but something that offered multiple Lesser NMs, Challenges, Different Goals, Drops that involved Adventurers and Crafters making stuff, etc. The actual NMs and Drops could be moved over safely to 2.0 (just in a new environment).

But hindsight is 20/20. I hope we do get more Content besides just 1 Primal Fight every few months, but if we don't, I fear what the forums will look like.

I am amused.

**BrusselSprout** · 02-25-2012 12:33 AM

What gets me is that they keep saying that they're going to have a player poll before 1.21 as well....

It would have no impact on the patch, not require them to commit to any date, and would get us all to shut up for at least another week, but nah screw it we can do it later.
