Bad decision by SE

Better read the ToS modifications because these jokes are no longer allowed here.

Point out the EXACT part of the ToS saying Lalafels are short (IE the sky is blue) breaks ToS. I'll wait.

So lalafell jokes are considered racism now? Are we in a clown world? He replied EXACTLY the way they needed to someone that thinks its appropriate to make EVERYONE wait 2 months just to fit their needs. Not only is it extremely selfish, we have ALL been waiting 6 months due to covid for EW, get over yourselves and respect Yoshi's decision.

Delays are good for a game. it's sad that it has caused a big inconvenience for time off, but I'd rather have it ship out ready

Again, if this was the first or second time, I would be more understanding. When you look at it as, "It's just two weeks.", then you are not seeing the issue entirely, and that is what I am trying to enlighten people to. If Yoshida was anyone other than Yoshi-P, this may very well have costed him his job. This isn't a mid-expansion patch, or an Ultimate tier. This is an entire expansion. You might have also just noticed that I mentioned previous delays, and if you're really perceptive, you will have noticed how there seems to be a pattern that has developed. It might not concern you, but it most certainly does me.

Your trust and confidence in the team is very commendable, but it isn't about them and their work ethic. This is about you, and the rest of us, the consumer. This is about SE's continuous inability to deliver on time. You might remember that EW was already previously pushed back in 2020 when the bug dropped on us, and we knew we would not get it in summer of 2021. Again, we have already been patient; we have already been understanding. When you keep seeing the goalposts being moved and a carrot over your head, you eventually have to wise up and say, "I am not doing this anymore."

Im just going to stop you there and point out that this is the first time in 11 years that they've EVER had to delay an expansion or even a patch after its reveal date. And I mean EVER. The expansion coming later than normal was already expected they explained that the covid delays disrupted their sheduling and development by nearly 2 months which was unavoidable and they simply could not reclaim this time because of it. As for this last minute delay they've kept everyone informed of the development process including how this expansion is going to be far more content packed than anything before this.

I can understand that there's dissapointment and all but Yoshi is one of those exceptionally few leaders who always stick to their deadlines and always have delivered in the past. The fact that the QA timing and his desire to complete a final proper check of everything to the point that hes willing to bite the bullet and make a once in a blue moon rarity delay of only 2 weeks shows the dedication being put in to make this a success and honestly this is the one time people like yourself should just accept this.

I am writing this today, as SE made a very poor judgment, which effects many of us across the globe, and to this, will cause issues for far too many of us.
December and January is a busy time for retail, and it requires full staff to avoid disruption. Many of us, kept our annual leave days, so we could play and enjoy the Endwalker story at its original release dats, this will now not happen, because of the bad decision to move it into the worst time of year for retail workers. Some like myslef won't be able to enjoy the story until at least February or March now, or to be able to keep up with savage raiding, will have to skip the story entirely, as of this poor new release.

To counter this, and stop you ruining a lot of players fun and the want to enjoy the game and story properly, you need to either honour your original release date, or the release needs to be postponed until at least February or March 2020, so the whole player base can enjoy the story without rushing or skipping, to keep up with endgame progression.

This is one of the worst decisions in SE history along with the making of "The Avengers" game.

This is not like this happens all the time and if you watched the Live Letter he was clearly upset that he had to push the release out by 2 weeks. I would rather have all the possible kinks contained and the game as polished as it can be, than they do like other companies and release it full of oversights or worse, delay the launch by several months to a year. I think you should be more tolerant than you are and think before you make the bad decision to come on Lodestone and cry victim. Give the guy a break!

Honestly it does get a bit tiring seeing them. I can understand the dissapointment of course and the pain of trying to get time off to enjoy this, noone had expected a delay because they were always on time but sometimes these threads start veering into Karen Country and becoming ridiculously self entitled. Sure if we were talking about Bethesda or Blizzard I would say sure go nuts its free real estate but the dev team since Yoshi took the helm have always been strait with their playerbase and never BS'd people. If he decided they needed another 2 weeks to QA everything he deserves the room as he never let people down.
