7.2 patch notes indicate that there is an "issue" preventing MSQ progress at launch

[Iscah]

I feel like this is important enough that it needs to be raised separately from the patch notes discussion.

The 7.2 full patch notes have just released and there are some concerning notes down in the "Known Issues" section.

An issue wherein certain main scenario quests in Patch 7.2 cannot be progressed despite a green completion icon appearing in the duty list.

An issue during certain quest cutscenes wherein objects erroneously obstruct the view of the player and NPCs.

What is going on? Can we actually play the MSQ at launch or do we need to wait until fixes have been implemented -- and how long should we expect to wait for them?

---

EDIT:

ovIm has provided a translation from the German patch notes which indicate that it might be only an issue with the icons, not the actual quest, so we will have to wait and see if it gets clarified.

Now thats interesting - I have checked the patchnotes in german, just to make sure, and it translates completely different:

Bei einem Teil der mit Patch 7.2 implementierten Aufträge des Hauptszenarios wird das Symbol in der Aufgabenliste grün angezeigt, obwohl der Auftrag noch nicht abgeschlossen werden kann.

During parts of the 7.2 Main Scenario Quests, the icon in the quest log will be green, despite the quest not being at a state to be turned in yet.

I'd interpret that not as a blocker for the MSQ, but as a but affecting the quest logs icons. We shall see whats going on tomorrow, I guess.

GOING FORWARD WE WILL SPARE NO EXPENSES INTO IMPROVING FF14

Absolutely crazy, it must be really rare for them to still release the patch

EDIT: looking at the JP patch notes it says "quests appear as green icons on the objective list even when they cannot be progressed, making them appear as if they can be progressed.

Which makes it sound like it will appear green in your objective list but you still need to do the quest objective for it to actually progress and you will still be able to progress MSQ

Please understand that most of the last 6 months was spent designing savage. Please look forward to being able to do the MSQ at the end of April or May.

Thanks for that. Hopefully that's all it is, but then it seems really careless to describe it in that way in English.

Thanks for checking on that. I suspected it was a visual issue, not an actual blocker, because of the fact that it was delayed to hotfix and not fixed on the gold patch before release

I was looking forward to the MSQ, I really was. Talked to Krile in the backroom...as soon as she said we were waiting on Lamaty, I was done. That was it for me, for this expansion. Give me Estinien, Thancred and Alphinaud and I will find Meracydia myself.
