Thread: Everyone is praising the 5.5-month patch cycle!

For the moment, just people making up numbers that are higher than previous numbers. Because the patch cycle went from 3 months to 4/4.5, the argument is that this is a trend that will surely go to 5.5 months soon. Or 6 or 7 months, depending on which of their threads you read. It only sounds credible because the increase was recent, so the change in patch cycle length feels like it moved on a steep slope in the recent past. It is really no different though than if, for example, you had your birthday last week, so this week you are one year older than you were a week ago, and now someone is extrapolating this as a trend that you are going to be another year older by next week, and two years older the week after that.

get fisher to 100 at least

To each their own... But out of all things to do in XIV, I think that leveling jobs is one of the worst chore-like activities, especially to make up for "content drought".

16 from what I've gotten around to play isn't bad... But so far it's been Hold W, Cutscene, Hold W, Cutsecne, Hold W, Cutsecne and the loop occasionally gets broken by a fight.

each new project they are planning to work on 2 extra weeks for each update.

from 3 to 4.5 which is 3 projects other than FFXIV.. which is FF16, NFT project, Mobile game..

If my assumption is correct Mr. Yoshi mention that he will work on another project too.. so it means another 5 or 5.5 depends on how big it is.

You could have just made this thread instead of necro-ing 60 other duplicate threads and flooding the forums out. Most mentally stable forum poster moment

For anyone believing this idiocy, they haven't made any announcements of any further extensions to patch cycles. The one or two times in last expansion it was an extra week were instances where there were holidays. The first part of the LL is Saturday which may be a bit early but they try to always hit TGS when it's near. The second half will mostly likely be mid-October because that one is usually a couple of weeks before the patch and not too long after the first. Which means we should probably get 7.1 sometime in early November where it would be expected on a 4 month patch cycle. This LL should probably tell us when the moogle event is, and we can guess 7.1's date from that since it always runs for about a month before the patch.

They don't announce because they just silently extend it now LMAO

When they first announced 3.5 -> 4 months, they instead gave us a bunch of 4.5 month patches.
