bozja release confirmed for october 13th

[Listrella]

According to ff14 reddit yoshi P confirmed at the tokyo game show we're getting patch 5.35 which includes bozja southern front, skysteel tools, ARR added to new game plus and new housing plots, on october 13th. This was a bit later than I was expecting but at least we have a date now.

29th September would be pretty reasonable. Best expansion btw. Even F2P games seem to have more things to do now.

well the reason for the delay apparently, is that yoshi p was giving the team a holiday after working hard to finish 5.3, fair enough I suppose.

[RicaRuin]

Yes, they said it was because they gave the team a vacation, since summer vacation was cancelled so that they could push out 5.3.

Well, fortunately, not all of us are at the same level of progress in the game. So you can play those F2P games (or even other paid games) while some of us will take our time with FFXIV before 5.35 arrives in just over two weeks from now. It's a win-win for both kinds of people.

I wouldn't call it a win-win for both kinds of people. This expansion has been lacking in more than a few areas, though the story has been one of the best. Honestly, I just want some things to keep me logging in after a week or 2. I haven't had that for what seems like forever now. I'm not alone on this either. If the current pacing and quality is something you prefer, then great. Good for you. Certainly not the case for all of us. I get that there's a pandemic, so I understand why they are a little behind. A delay or 2 is to be expected. The delays aren't really bothering me quite as much as the quality of what they've been pushing out. I think I've spent more time playing other games this expansion than I have during any other. They seem to put a ton of effort into the story and Nier raids, and then the rest of the expansion's content suffers. If that's how it's going to be I would prefer that they go back to mediocre story telling.

I don't play much of the game. My interests lie strictly in leveling certain jobs (which I think I'm done with this expansion unless I get an "itch" to level another job), MSQ, trial series, raid series (both normal and alliance), roulettes, and trying out the relic. And I only do normal content, no extreme, savage, or ultimate. And I don't see how any of those content have suffered (no, I don't count having one dungeon per patch as a negative). The only thing that I can see as a negative is for people who wanted a new deep dungeon (and maybe people who wanted new Hildibrand story). As for people who like crafting/gathering, it's probably a positive unless you just don't like changes to the classes and other QoL.

So all of that with a good story really makes this expansion very good (2020 thing aside).

I would say most people refer to battle content when they say ShB is lacking. Which isn't wrong tbh, but I disagree on notion that because we have less battle content the quality has been dropping with the content released. But that's just me.
