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

Gear is boring, It wants to be a devil may cry in a Final fantasy setting but doesnt reach both either. Since my sub runs out next month...will be my last game from Square for a while. Yoshi P is seriously overrated.

He salvaged something from Tanaka's mess by copying elements of other MMOs he'd played, but now he wants a "legacy" all his own, and he doesn't have the talent and/or doesn't have the time. This is especially apparent when it comes to things like systems and quest structure where both XIV and XVI share several of the same issues.

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.

Only a NFT game can save them now!



Cheers

was going to ask what the point of any of this was, but then noticed the nice combination of jobs you have leveled

get fisher to 100 at least

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.

No, not "everyone" is praising this. There are a lot of conversations already about things slowing down.

While I think resources need to be put back into XIV to speed this up, was it really necessary to also necro every topic you could find about this too? It's just annoying and unnecessary.

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.
