The Time is Fast Approaching

2.0 isn't until Jan 2013. So I would honestly say during the beta phase to really not expect much..probably even less than what's in the current version since if you've already done all of the content in current game, you won't have new content to do in 2.0 beta since that's the main thing that's being ported over.

Check your information. Version 2.0 is approximately Sept-Oct not Jan 2013. This will be available via client update and download.

Jan 2013 is when they will start distributing the new Version 2.0 in retail stores.

2.0 doesn't go live until Jan. They stated the Beta will be what's upcoming in Sept-Oct. Since the PC "free trial" is shortly before the PS3 Beta/Live period, which is Dec/Jan.

In anyrate, Apparently I was mistaken.. I can't seem to find it. I could have sworn I saw it.. but it is what it is.. unlike some people, I do admit when I'm wrong. Were all human for crying out loud, and this attacking people or calling them trolls or white knights just isn't the way to solve any problems at all, it only creates more fuel for the fire.

In away, this is what Speculation leads to a lot of the times.. with people chopping off other peoples heads. I seriously did think that I heard it somewhere.. but I'm glad I was corrected.. at least I know I can take my time without worrying I won't get all the weapons.. or at least whenever I choose to get them.

Anyways, I'm sorry for the confusion that I have caused, and I really think 2.0 threads should stop till E3 shows its beautiful face.. then we can have something to talk about again.

Also Players like me knows when he's wrong and mistaken.

Can I have a Group Forum Hug nowz? \^.^/

Edit: Everyone Wants to know the Month FFXIV 2.0 will come out?

E3+End of CGI Video= Month/Year ( Maybe day) :P

Check the Roadmap again. Unless it's changed since then and they've discussed it elsewhere, that's the *PS3* Closed Beta Test. The 2.0 client drops between September and October. The Roadmap even specifically refers to November onward as the "Version 2.0 Free Trial Period".

Worst case scenario, even if we're to assume the software is released but not activated in September-October, it's still set to go live no later than November. Again, according to the Roadmap, not sure if it may have changed since then.

I don't think people making comments about how they expect a delays and/or not too much from 2.0. I mean they've done nothing but hype it up, yes a lot of companies due, but I get the feeling this is different. Much of the things that have been a bit wrong with the patches made to the current version are because they have a lot of the team not even touching it; much of the team is entirely devoted to 2.0. With this and the fact that Yoshi-P, a man who has brought so much to this game, who has honestly done more than expected, is heading it, all we can do is expect something good. Not only that, they have a group of people entirely devoted to the forums, taking all the feedback they can and relaying it to the developers, meaning things are getting done; whether it is ideas for the future or complains about the now, we are seeing progress. We can complain all we want about drop rates, how they are fine or horrible, but we have to remember there is someone opposing your views which they have to take in to account.

What complaints are there now? Grinding? Invalid this is an MMO. Copy and Paste? Being addressed. Laggy interface? Has shown much improvement, and we all know 2.0 will have a badass interface. No flying black chocobo (my personal wish)? Let's hope for it. Drop rates? We have to give them time to figure it out, though I like the idea of a totem system, totems obtained maybe through certain conditions like times run, Ceteris paribus, given drop rate and difficulty stays constant.

Honestly the biggest concerns as of now is the fact that the game is supposed to cater towards casual and hard-core, but is leaning towards hard-core players, that and the lagginess. But nothing in what they've said has given to the idea that these two concerns won't be addressed. We know of a new menu system, and all they have to do is keep things fresh. When they make something difficult, allow for something lax and time consuming.

We know new dungeons are coming. We know of a new landscape. We know of a new interface. We know that Yoshi-P is devoted to the game. Yeah people may think that they didn't address the concerns of the need of something casual in the latest patch, with Garuda, but they tried Hamlet. Yeah it doesn't seem so hot now, but we know they are trying.

Give them a break, they are really trying. Bashing isn't helping anyone. Be excited, let them know you appreciate the hard work. No matter how much I cry after 20 minute AVs and CCs, I still know they are hard at work.

Guys 2.0 BETA goes live around September for both PC & PS3 (we also get free trial back), then the game is prepared for re-launch around Jan 2013+.

BOTH systems will be beta tested together, on the same servers.

I hope so... All we can do is wait for E3 and hope they really are doing something, it's our best bet at this point in time.

What's with people saying Jan 2013 for 2.0? The roadmap says Sept-Oct 2012 for PC 2.0 release.

The Sept-Oct time frame is for players who purchased the current client prior to that time. Jan 2013 is the official release date for Ver 2.0 and the PS3 version for new subscribers. I am sure that at some point prior to Sept SE will cut off sales of the current version.

from September- Jan (release date for other people) We get to play it and stress test it all the nice jazz, all the while of keep our progress.. its like being in beta but were not at the same time... because we get to keep all the data. Just like how FFXIV was released 7 days in advance for CE users.. well people who stuck with the game by paying for it.. get to play it for 3 months more than release date of 2.0 players =).

/hug. The purpose of my OP was just to remind people that we are fast approaching the end of the current version's life span and that we should wait until after E3 to see what details are provided before we make suggestions for improvements to Ver 2.0. How this post got off track is beyond me. It was not my intention to open up this post for the debates that followed. Sorry if I gave a different impression.
