However. Yoshi-P's daily diet of stress, cigarettes, and 3 hours sleep landed him in the hospital with a high fever. While that doesn't make work at the office grind to a halt, I'm sure there were QA issues and other decisions that couldn't go forward without his stamp of approval. I'm betting that did contribute to the delay of what will be FFXIV's biggest patch to date.

Most important is this:



Quality should always be prioritized, even if it means a delay. I think we can all agree that the game wouldn't be in the state that it's in now if it was allowed another year in development. Rushing your product out the door when it's not ready is the real mistake.

Yes, time is of the essence right now as 2.0 approaches. And SE is obviously a company that has time-management issues. I'm hoping all that Yoshi-P is saying is that they will be more conscious of timing in the future, not that they will prioritize efficiency over quality.

No sane person is complaining about the delay, we're aware of all of that stuff. What we definitely have a right to complain about is the nigh absurd lack of information.

Yeah the weaponskill video was alright (although we'd already seen some of them) but honestly it's not what a lot of us want... We want patch notes, numbers, tangible information...

When someone tells you to you'll get something "tomorrow", do you expect to wait 3 days for it? I don't.
