and if you want a date just look up the damn time schedule which they have posted almost a year ago.

You seem like a very hostile person. I hope you feel better.

Though it could be additional world lore excluding Umbral Era stuff if you think about it. They do a decent job fleshing stuff out in posts (that people complain about because it's not about raids or gear) but there's still a bit of lore they could touch up on. Just check out the localization forum, a lot of that isn't immediate spoilers but stuff they could easily add to a 'codex' or something on the website, that's how I generally interpret world lore..info about everything from naming conventions to stories that isn't/won't be present in game in full (think: Vanadiel Tribune.)


I think the trailer mainly is what contained spoilers they wanted to avoid showing off/flesh it out better.

Y'know, up until this post I managed to remain happily ignorant of what YOLO meant... thank you for ruining that. I now hate you with the fire of a thousand suns. :P lol

On topic, I sort of agree with the OP. Valve Time is a running joke to most of us (rightfully so) and I cannot stand it when companies use the word "soon" to describe a timetable, nor any other equally-ambiguous word (especially when used to an obscene degree, like how Blizzard does).
For so long have I seen Yoshida-san say things like, "We're aiming to get that released to you by the end of May," and that's an absolutely beautiful choice of words -- it satisfies every party involved in the discussion (players get their ballpark time of release, and developers still have an escape clause if there's a misstep) -- and it's one of the many small distinctions that make me feel glad to give Square my money, even if I don't manage to login to XIV at all in a given month. Yet when I start seeing someone bandying about "soon this" or "soon that" (side note: "in 2.0" is starting to have the same connotations for me :/) and just leaving it at that, especially after showing they know how to not use such words... it leaves a sour taste, as it reminds me of...other developers... :/

If I was SE I'd never say a solid date for anything. The people just explode the moment you slide a inch.

There's still Japan Expo and Gamescom (and PAX maybe?) for SE to attend, too.

Not many people have memorized the YouTube URL for the rickroll, so that still works on occasion.

It's been overdone, though, so you gotta save it for the perfect moment.
