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... :/
