The goalpost has shifted from 4 months to 4.5 months

[HisShadowX]

It's funny how they said they will go back to normal schedule once COVID is over a few years ago.

Then in the live letter they announce that the patch cycle will be 4 months instead of 3.5.

And now it's 4.5 months after 6.1

I wonder how the white knights will defend this.

I share how you feel. In fact I agree with you but you must also understand there are tons of people Dr Fugazzi has scared. Remember Dr Fugazzi was the same guy who scared everyone telling them they would get HIV/AIDS if they touched a door knob. Also COVID was his winning horse in fact a FOIA request even found he made a march madness chart that would win for him and it was COVID. He also signed it. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E256SKmXwAIO51I.jpg

I work in Public Health I heard about COVID happening in China in early fall and it was scary because in mainland china they were welding people in their complexes so they did not come out. By the time March hit I knew there was not much to be afraid of but that was around the time when the left and right traded places on whether it was serious or not and it became political.

We are about to enter an election and people are upset we are being told we must suffer through high prices and low goods because we need to send more money to Ukraine. So believe me by the time fall hits with this contested election because one political party it looks like it is going to get the boot in Congress the fear will ramp up around the world and we are most likely looking at working from home again.

Square Enix most likely has workers who have the fear of God put in them by COVID so many are still working from home.

If anything Square is preparing for the worst and trying to keep employee morale high. Lets not jump on the most profitable division of Square Enix right now. Remember Yoshi P has kept away the Square Enix Ethics Department, (which sadly has not been sold with Eidos Game) away.

they will find a way. they are not smart people.
thing is ok get an extra month to it but give MORE content for this time. thing is we are not getting more but the same or less. we are by now get content for 3 month starched over 4.5 and by 7.0 i bet it be 6 month.

Exactly. It's going to be 5 months in 6.5 or something and people will still find a way to defend it.

I just want to be there when people realize that this is probably going to delay the next expansion.

How many people are really worrying about the launch date of the next expansion when we haven't even gotten to the second major patch yet?

That's why I said "when"

I wonder how you spend your life trolling public forums. Strange hobby.

How can it be delayed if it hasn't been announced? Next expansion will likely be out in winter 2024. A little over 2 years @ 4 months between patches times 5 major patches. About the same pace as always.

Also, 3.0 to 3.1 was 6 months. We've always had some gaps. This is just looking for something to be mad about lol.

So you can't wait for a delay that isn't a delay because other people might be mad about a literal nothing.

That's a bit of a stretch to make yourself feel superior, but you do you.

we'll see =)

PS: I said "probably". Damn, is there anyone here who knows how to interpret text?

I'd happily give them years of radio silence if it meant they'd just axe the current engine, rip out the teetering tower that is the 1.0 code, and just recode/redo the engine from the ground up. If it means we can finally get all the QoL, Graphics, UI, and systems improvements we've been clamoring for, by all means take as long as you need. Anything to stop hearing excuses about why things are limited and broken.

Hell, make that a new expansion: FFXIV: A Realm Rejoined.
