No release date; could it mean we're in for a longer wait than expected?

[Kiote]

Why is this a thread? It's been pretty obvious since they first announced the revamp that we would not get the final Product til Q1 2013..

[gahoo]

b/c the OP wanted to clarify that, despite the fact that there is no new information, he alone is considering starting to believe that it might be Q3/4.

Here you go bud, this is the part of that interview found here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...glish)/page124

"On NA Amazon it’s showing PS3 version to release in December (laugh)
Y: For Amazon heard they put 12/18 as release date for those that don’t have a set selling date (laugh) If there isn’t any sale date they can’t make reservations and it’s said for the Christmas season the week of 12/18 is the last. After for NA most products well out and goes into long break so to sell the most aiming Christmas is this timing. So basically Amazon just listed it as that without getting any announcement.

I see, so there is no way it can be released within this year?
Y: No, can't be (laugh) when we released the roadmap we stated the service will be post 2013 January. If we could release it within this year I would of already announced it M: If it was released within this year everyone in development team would die (laugh)"

So while not a diffinitive release date, it backs your theory that it COULD (but may not) be a while. Once again, we can only wait and see because clearly I don't think even SE knows yet when it will be ready. People that want to curb check you for suggesting it could take a while make me laugh. How quickly they forget this is SE we are talking about, the very people that have brought us FF VS XIII. Oh wait........

Certainly not he alone...
