I know we have seen the 2.0 screen concept, but it would be awesome if we could see exactly what it will look like, if its any different, I do believe there is a working 2.0 client in the office now.

1 Month delay (nearly) for 1.21

July-Oct Cushion to have a "2-3 months worth of delays". They used 1 up they they can only do 2 more months of delays before it could even "effect" 2.0 They aren't behind at all for 2.0, only for 1.xx patches they are behind schedule. Which doesn't really matter since they have a 3 month Delay cushion :P.

Well, I consider the roadmap a "Rough Estimate" because in MMO's Delays CAN and WILL happen. Changing the PDF's may not be considered hard... but when they gave 2 games (fused to be one eventually), Server Merges, and trying to coordinate all of that, is a huge task.. we get the General Picture on whats going on.. the 2.0 side of things isn't effected by 1.xx patches.

We know 2.0 is coming in late 2012 (September-October) so let them do their job ^^.

Edit: also, they are 1 Month AHEAD of Schedule, according to a Recent Yoshi-P Post from 3/14, and they have already begun the Porting everything stage to 2.0 client =).

プロデューサ/ディレクタの吉田です。
Producer/Director Yoshida here,

引き続き魔法詠唱に関する多数のフィードバックありがとうございます。
頂いた意見はしっかり見せて頂いていますので、パッチ1.22でもそうですし、
それ以降、現行運営中も新生の最終仕様にも反映/検討させて頂きます。
Thanks for continuing feedbacks on the spell casting.
We are looking through the comments so even with patch 1.22 or after on current or 2.0 we will look into making changes.

1.22での調整内容が決まり次第、また追ってポストさせて頂きますね！
ホンのちょっとだけですが…
Once adjustment details on 1.22 is confirmed will update on it!
And just a little bit... (about 2.0)

昨日FFXIV開発/運営/関連部署を集めてプロジェクト全体会を実施しました。
We had a meeting with FFXI dev/management/other related departments regarding the entire project

今期の振り返りと、来期のプロジェクト目標確認、そしてマイルストーンすり合わせが主ですが、
既に基礎QAを開始している「新生FFXIVクライアント」の全体お披露目も、その中で行いました。
物凄い規模のプロジェクトですし、運営開発と新生開発を同時並行しているので、
こうしてお披露目しないと、なかなか現実感が出ないのです。
（約1年半でMMOのほぼ全てを作り直す、というのは開発でも中々現実に思えないのです＾＾；）
Looking through current, checking on the project goals and checking the mile stones status, and within that meeting we also exposed the 2.0 FFXIV client which already started the QA process. This is really a large scale project and running alongside with current version we have to actually look to feel the reality of this.
(Remaking a MMO in year & half is something the dev team also believes it's not realistic ^^

つまりは、そういう「現実」レベルまで新生クライアントは仕上がりつつあります。
それは、MAPを差し替えダンジョンを追加し、コンテンツのリニューアル移植をし、新規を盛り込み、
クエスト大量実装など、「量産工程」でどこまで物量を突っ込んで行くか、
というフェーズに入っていることを意味します。
So the 2.0 client is finished to a level where is reality.
For that swapping the maps for dungeons, transferring the contents and renewal, releasing lots of quest, how much to include using mass production. We're currently in that phase.
<---- which this was suppose to happen in April.. and its happening in March :P
後は時間との戦い。皆さんにお見せできるようになるまでは、もう少しかかります。
吉田自身、動いている新生FFXIVを「ゲームとして」しっかりお見せしたいと思っていますので、
引っ張るようで申し訳ないですが、第七霊災の脅威と戦いつつ、お待ちください。
And after that it's just battle with time. To show to everyone it will require some more time. For myself I want to show the actual 2.0 FFXIV as a game and I apologize for dragging this but for now please fight against the 7th Umbral Era and wait for it.

要求されるPCスペックも下がりますし、PS3版もリリースします。
もっともっと、今まで以上に沢山のお客様にプレイして頂けるよう、
運営と同時に突っ走って行きますので、これからも叱咤激励お願いします。
Required spec will be lowered and we will also release the PS3 version.
We are working hard so more and more customers can play the game. So please encourage us.


うーん…モルボルに怒られるかなあ……。
Hmm... Molbol is going to get mad at me (Foxclon)

I thought the 2.0 team has kept working on 2.0....
So since 1.23 is scheduled MONTHS ahead of the 2.0 release... even 1.23 being delayed shouldn't affect 2.0 very much
And once it is done... (and emergency patched, hello 1.23a) EVERYONE on the dev staff can gang rape 2.0

EVERYONE on the dev staff can gang rape 2.0

EVERYONE, GOGOGOGO FULL ATTACK ON 2.0!!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN GUYS, YOU OVER THERE!!! YOU RIGHT HERE!!! I WANT RESULTS PEOPLE!!!!RESULTS!!!!!!! :P
