Things sure have been stale around here...when is the next major patch ?

He may not be working on FFXVI but wasn't it stated that he's working on some manner of other game?

As for the patch being delayed by over a month that isn't surprising...but it's a real shame. Understandable though, given the circumstances.

Yes, or more specifically, the Third Development Division that he is in charge of is currently working on a new project for which they have recently been hiring for. His role in this new project is currently unknown.

As for what most gamers do, most true gamers play a lot of different games because they know it's impossible for a single game to fill all their available time.

Personally I've been going at this game for over two years now and have not run out of stuff to get through... and I'm missing playing other games.

Admittedly my play pattern is probably well off the standard - several alt characters, lots of levelling jobs, spending a fair chunk of time on putting glamours together - but I'm not touching the high-end duties and not really interested in crafting. (I do it in occasional bursts, trying to get things ticked off the various lists, but on the large scale it's entirely unengaging.)

And still, it doesn't feel like there's an end to it. Not close, anyway.

But yeah, play other games. Experience other things. Maybe some do similar systems better, maybe they do it worse, maybe it's something completely unlike this game. There are too many other interesting things out there to play this one game all of the time.

That goes for me too, at whatever point I feel like I can drop that to-do list of content here.
