They don't tell us the exact date until 1-2 weeks before just in case something goes wrong and they have to delay. But the truth is something doesn't really go wrong because SE has had much of the patch ready for months and has been doing QA on it for months and if there was a problem, they would have fixed it by now.

The moogle event typically starts exactly 29 days before the next major patch, so it is very likely, but because they have not officially announced the date, I can't tell you with 100% certainty. Just 99% certainty.
Honestly I just appreciate the calculated estimate cause I did not know any of this. I'll take a chance and just ask for the day off anyway. Thank you for the reply!
