Dawntrail release date

[hynaku]

If its 4 months for patches, then should come out in June.

I think early Summer is the goal. Heavensward and Stormblood had June official release dates and Shadowbringers was officially released first week of July so it would make sense for them to want to release Dawntrail around the same time.

The announced "summer release" gives them leeway if something comes up that delays the release longer.

We're still going to be getting 1 final patch... 6.58 will fully remove all loot restrictions from raids, should be coming in about 3 weeks or so.

After that, it's the typical wait for the next expansion.

To be fair, we will at least be getting this - at some point in April - to break up the wait a little:

And another mog tome event to follow the current one.

[CaptainLagbeard]

Well yea, the events will be happening... Aside from FF XVI crossover, we should be also getting Hatchíng-Tide, Little Ladies Day and Make It Rain. And if DT gets horribly delayed, Moonfire Faire.

I guess that they will announce it during the Media Tour that they always do- same time they will show the job action trailers and benchmark details. Also a reminder for those who are saying Summer is June through August: Summer ends on September 22, so don't rule that one out (I hope it's not that late into the year)

They could be forgiven for taking that long with Endwalker due to covid. But eventually they've got to have adapted to the situation or found new partners to work with that aren't impacted by covid.

This last year has seen an AI boom that allows people to reduce the time it takes to do everything as well, so if things were that tight they could be sifting some of their work into AI chatbots to speed it up. At least tasks that definitely wouldn't compromise quality, such as copy and paste type tasks.

I can't imagine any scenario in which them using AI chatbots would be a positive.

It can cut down the time it takes to do things. If you describe a programming task you want to solve that would normally take you 20 hours to do, it can complete it in a second and that's how significant it is. That has saved an entire day! I did this myself several months ago and it was amazing.

That makes it useful for making lots of similar-ish scripts that only have a few bits of information different in each, or organizing an excel table faster.
