square enix repeting the same mistakes as WOW?

Wrong yet again. Stay down.

[SamsaraTrickstar]

what does Japanese players say about the new launch date. There the only ones SE listens to.

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

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

Corect me if I am wrong but this is the longest time between any patch in ff14. People get of wow for the same reason. How you think this will efect ff14?

Yea it probably is the longest, however the time between the last patch of an expansion and the release of the next has always been longer than time between regular content patches.

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.

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.

Given your forum join date I'm going to assume you're new to the game.
Outside of the pandemic there has been no major delays to my knowledge and I've been playing since day 1.

The two week delay is unfortnate and we don't continue to tread that here with all other threads we got already but I wouldn't lump this into what Blizzard seem to repeat time after time. That's bit extreme when SE has shown zero reason that this is going to be the new normal for releasing patches and expansions.

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"

No, it is not.

/thread

[Saccharin]

SE is not making or repeating those mistakes. It is doing what the WoW devs don't have the desire to do, and that is releasing a product when it is good and ready.

Wrong, if anything, SE did what Blizzard would never done.

Ehm... Blizzard did exactly that with Shadowlands, they delayed the release because it wasn't ready. Just like SE.

Did you just make stuff up so you could get likes.

[Liam_Harper]

They have a long way to go to reach WoW's level. 5.4 and 6.2 in WoW both lasted over a full year each.

Furthermore FF14 tends to release well polished expansions, while WoW, after a full year and 1 month of work, released WoD, an unfinished expansion with the largest amount of cut content ever, that was so bad they lost half their playerbase.

So yes, you are corrected because you're wrong.
