no one would show any interests in 1.23 then!

"ah who cares about 1.23.. i saw that freaking awesome 2.0. gameplay trailers. i want to play that.. i will close my account till then."

or what the hell fucking else.
its the time schedule, that they start with the campaign after 1.23. and so it will be..
its boring for us, but i can understand this move.

well its your interpretation. soon for me can also mean 1-2 months.

every patch was almost within the time schedule so i dont think that the campaign will differ from that anyways. and what does a homepage bring anything for you, if it does not contain any new gameplay footage.. good there is a homepage named "Final Fantasy 14 2.0." woohoo... doesnt bring me anything-


i also want to see more new things from 2.0. but on the other side i accepted that fact that they will start it in august.

and on the other side there is a long time also between august and the final release of 2.0. in early of 2013 so there is really no need for starting the campaign now!.

I'm just sad we're, again, discussing the definition of a term related to time, when SE could easily step forward and tell us exactly when this "soon" is.

SE tells us when soon is:

People go: WTF SE Y U TAKE SOOO LONG!!!! ARGHGHGHGHG!!

SE just says soon to us with no set date or anything:

People go: WTF SE Y U NO TELL US WHAT SOON MEANS ARGHHHGHGHG!!!

Best if SE doesn't say anything at all.. seriously... ~.~

However people tend to think if SE is late that they can't meet their deadline, thus making them not Trustworthy to the consumer when they say: this is coming out in 7/28/12~ when it comes a a month later 8/28/12. I'm no business major and all.. but lying to the consumer is the worst thing a company can do. That's just me though

Well, I'm only going off based on how the community has been acting as a whole to when SE releases or not releases a date, I hope everyone ( or most) on here can understand when SE (Yoshi-P) Says "Were aiming for end of July" and its late for a month.. people won't freak out because they didn;t say "Its going to be coming at the end of July". I know its not going to happen, but I do hope for that day to come one day.

Anyways, Lets all just have fun play FFXIV, do Real Life stuff.. whatever it is you do to have fun do it, You only live once (Yolo" =)
