1 Nov - Release Date ... What will you do?

[AntonyB]

Except Wada is why 1.0's situation happened to begin with so..yeah. I'm expecting it to be down till around summer 2013, especially if XI's expansion is in the first half of the year.

I think you are over shooting alittle LOL. Thats 2/3s of a year you think it's going to be down, hell that means we'll get those 2 new citys then going by your logic!

Probably, since people say "It would be stupid of SE to compete XIV with XI" so unless XI's expansion is later in the year they probably want to stagger the release of ARR with the release of Adoulin, since SE seemed more to wanting people to play both rather than either/or lol.

Haha yea damn SE wanting all our moneys! >_< I still think it would be this year personally, a Beta/Alpha usually don't take so long. Also the game looks very well from all the videos tbh and I don't think there will be thatmuch to test, more than likely just alot of stress testing due to there being new servers I would think. Although I am not a developer so I wouldn't know for certain!

If that's what they want it's pretty stupid. :P I have friends who wants to play ARR but would never touch FFXI no matter how many expansions it gets. So S-E would just make those people wait longer and maybe risk losing them to something else. They have made people (outside this community :P) excited for ARR with the gamescom walkthrough/trailer and the TGS trailer so delaying it again, especially the PS3 version just so that it doesn't take the spotlight from the XI expansion would probably be a bad idea. Just look at Versus 13, people thought we would get to see more from it now that XIII-2 was out but nope, we're getting XIII-3! :P Don't know about others but my hype for Versus is completely gone.

Now if ARR have so many problems they need to delay it 5-8 months (hopefully not) then that is probably a good choice so that they don't release it and get massacred again because after this there is no third chance. But I have faith in Yoshi and his team.

[Drewbie]

Just want to know what is everyone up to in almost 3 months without FFXIV..

HaHAHA love that you think the game will be ready in three months i have a feeling it will be more like 5-6 but that would be great if they do get it in three!!!

[Gokulo]

We'll probably be playing the game in 3 months, it just won't be the release version

[dragorian]

I'll play Guild War 2

dont waste your money and dont play it it has a lot of bugs more along of the line when 14 came out in 2010

Are you mentally slow? XIV didn't even have bugs when it got released, it was just a shit game. GW2's release has blown XIV's out of the window.

[Ingolf]

The fact that none of you have said you will be playing xcom makes me seriously question the people playing this game.

GW2, Dishonored, BL2, TL2, Xcom, FFXI and AC3 (and whatever else takes my fancy I suppose)

Other than that, rl stuff I guess. It's not like I play XIV at all currently anyway.

bolded brah.

You've got to be kidding. XIV was completely bug ridden at release.
