I wanted to share some additional information that Yoshida provided in regards to the patch timing.

As some of you have pointed out, since I released the initial schedule, it is naturally my duty as producer to ensure that the schedule is upheld.

With each patch, we balance the schedule along with the quality and volume of the patch and then decide on the specifications following that. However, we prioritized quality and volume and we are now reflecting on the lack of foresight that the patch would be pushed back as a result. In the future I don’t want the same mistakes to happen again as I believe we’ve all learned a lot from this (for the rest of my life as long as I am doing this line of work), and I make an effort to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

P.S.
I just finished writing the next Letter from the Producer a bit ago, and it should reach the hands of the translators first thing tomorrow morning. I would like to have this released as soon as possible.
