For the record I don't like blizzards games to much but in the past they take the time. The old blizzards moto was "when it's ready".what you think ff14 can do in 2 weaks?

Additional quality assurance. The game is done, but they need to ensure the first day won’t cause another Raubhan Ectreme. Considering that was the only concern, this game is at the highest standard in any mmo release.

By the way, all your questions has been answered by Yoshi P in a length. Please go and watch the live letter instead of posting silly questions.

They do QA and let's say find a bug that take longer to fix.or even more bad don't and it be at day 1. What then. I don't say it to hate on no one here.

I'm pretty sure they stated during PLL that it has more to do with fine tuning than just "checking if the engine is going to break", so to speak.
It's more about "checking that everything is covered in terms of lore to wrap things up entirely".
That also might be the reason for 2 weeks : over these 2 weeks, you'd have roughly (not in one go but split into severals hour-session) 1.5 week to check everything up top to bottom, 0.5 week to cover fixes.
Maybe, we don't really know the extent of what needs to be dealt with (except the big picture)

Pretty sure he said “additional” QA, it means the game has already passed initial QA. Any major bug shouldn’t exist anymore at this stage, and judging from the past releases, Yoshi P always spot on on the quality release. He said 2 weeks is enough to polish it further, and I trust him from his history (this is his 5th) otherwise he would not be so confident with the time frame. Even if there were unexpected bugs it won’t caused major issues and likely would be ironed out in next patch.

there's been delays before. the launch of 3.0. the gap between 3.0 and 3.1. the covid gap during shadowbringers. you'll live.

Good point.dont think they care to much. You need to go to Sega's level of bad for them to care

What are you even talking about... Here in Japan people do indeed care very much about the delay.

As a matter of fact, the initial release date (23rd) is a national holiday most of us have off. A lot of people were looking forward to a day off together.

....but that said, I would say the average Japanese player (that I know, anyway) cares more that Yoshi-P and the devs are ok, and not over reaching or straining themselves. Not that "omg mah plans are ruinnnnned"

I thought people left WoW because it removed all RPG elements, the story went off the rails and the endgame(now the only game) is just a rat race for rng gear
