seriously wtf? does anyone on these forums know how to read? lol

The new server system is already up and running on internal development equipment, and we are in the process of finalizing general
search features, the party system, the friend system, and more. At the current pace, we hope to have all basic system features
completed by February 2012.
After that, we will begin work on the worldless party matching system, as well as the porting of all current content data and player
character data. We expect these tasks to be complete by the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013

Here is where it gets confusing for the not so intelligent folks out there.

Comprehensive Roadmap
■The Road to Version 2.0
・Late November to Early December – Monthly subscription fees begin (PC)
・Late November to Early December – Patch 1.20
・Early February 2012 – Patch 1.21
・February 2012 – Development test server reconstruction complete
・Mid April 2012 – Patch 1.22
・April 2012 – Version 2.0 client system complete
- Commence porting of current game content to version 2.0 client
・Early to Mid July 2012 – Patch 1.23
・August 2012 – 2.0 marketing campaign begins (including trailer release)
・September to October 2012 – Begin distribution of version 2.0 software for PC
- Begin distribution of PlayStation®3 system beta version
・October to November 2012 – Reinstate limited free trial period for PC version
- Commence PlayStation®3 system closed beta test
・Post-January 2013 – Version 2.0 client (PC and PlayStation®3 system) goes on sale
- Free trial period ends

POST means AFTER January 2013. They left it open because they don't know when it will be ready.

Expect 2.0 to actually launch sometime around late April/Early May, based on previous experience SE is not so good at keeping their schedules.

We expect these tasks to be complete by the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013

My statement still stands. IT DOES NOT SAY, going by the roadmap, that it will be march before data transfer finishes so my argument is still valid. Also, if it does go on sale in January, which I'm expecting late Jan, early Feb, that will mean that data transfer has finished.

I also find your attitude to be fairly rude and I ask that you fix it -.-

Why are you so rude? There is absolutely no reason why you should be treating people like this. According to the roadmap, there is nothing that says "data transfer completed by march." Yoshi may have said it in a TRANSLATION to someone else, which could very well be wrong, but he said "we expect," that doesn't mean "it won't be completed sooner." Again, fix your attitude.

I see the roadmap and a TRANSLATION, which have often been wrong. My argument is still valid and you are still rude and obnoxious. According to the roadmap, post-Jan is sell. They won't sell the game without data being transfered. In the translation, he said that they expect the data transfer to be done by the end of march. This, again, does not mean that it won't be done mid feb.
