Thread: Is version 2.0 really coming out before 1-1-13

No No NO NOOOO!

You jinxed it! You jinxed us all!!!

Hmm this sucks! So Let's say it does come in Jan at the earliest. We get 1.23b around aug 30, That's almost 5 months with no new content! Idk if this is accurate cause if so its gonna be a boring rest of the year.

Think about it this way: It's actually 5 months where we can finish the content that will no longer be available in 2.0. Also I think the servers are going down when the closed beta starts, not when the open beta starts. So that's actually end of September/early October going by what Mijin linked above. So yeah, October to January the game should be down which actually only leaves us less than 2 months to finish anything not available in 2.0.

This is a good point. Lol do they expect us to have no updates for nearly half a year?

Yes -- we already knew for about a year now that 1.23 is the final 1.0 Patch.

Well dont forget the other PDF where it says October/november free trial period on PC... PS3 Beta. And PS3 release in january 2013.

i think the pc version will be released before PS3 version

PDF

look on the last page.

They won't shut the servers down untill the 2.0 Open-Beta otherwise not everyone will be able to play FFXIV.

1.23 & Closed 2.0 beta's will run side-by-side and 1.23 will be turned off around 2.0 Open-beta.

I don't think they'd be stupid enough to close 1.23 down and 1/2 the playerbase doesn't get into the beta, they risk losing 20k subs or so.

They said 1.0 will not run side by side with 2.0 once it goes into Beta -- unless of course SE changed their mind, it's not a question of intelligence, which they would actually be smart to close down 1.0 during 2.0's beta, it's more of a matter of efficiency; Why not bring the two teams together for the final push?

They already said it will take awhile to convert 1.0 > 2.0 data and they don't want us updating during the process.
