[Rumor] FFvsXIII team moved on FFXIV + Release date in...!

[Dragonheart]

Except no one said it was to save money. There's no reason to close the servers in the first place if they wanted to keep 1.0 around forever. Even you can agree with that. Unless you can tell me honestly that SE isn't bleeding money and XIV's poor performance isn't a cause, I'll believe you, otherwise financial reports are pretty telling and pretty much every project but XIV of SE's has done well, they didn't do as well as Kingdom Hearts or FFXI or FFVII, but they did well.

They also stated when they bring the servers back up it not only won't have development or maintanence (meaning the cost of operations is lower than even now) it won't stay up if the login numbers are too low since the threshold to even bring them up was pretty low to begin with (30%.)

Also, it's more the irony of people saying SE should take as long as they need to make sure they get ARR right, but won't accept a July release lol, besides, we already had confirmation on:



Wada and Yoshida has both said in the past SE as a whole is basically working on ARR to make this right. There's zero reason to disbelieve this let alone there's zero reason it should even affect the basic consumer, what does a team being pulled from a project to work on the one you're looking for have to do with you? You don't work for SE, you're not losing money or time or sleep.



We already knew they planned to have most of the large transitions and betas (Open specifically) by March of 2013, usually Open Beta means the release is pretty much the same month or the next. What's the difference between March and July? You still have to wait for the release.

So it's not cynicism, it's people refusing to accept they'll most likely have to wait longer for this MMO. So maybe people should stop saying SE should "take as long as they want" and start bitching at them to release it asap? Otherwise it's pretty ironic people would get bent out of shape over a summer release when they feel that way.

"You can take as long as you want SE as long it's before March."

..Yeah.

@Timeline:

They are not on track. Alpha was supposed to have started by the end of September or Early October and Beta, as per Rep Responses, was supposed to have begun in November which means that initially they planned to stagger the PC and PS3 releases slightly. Besides, we never once had a release date, just "coming 2013" so how can you disprove that July isn't it? SE has delayed and pushed back things numerous time, especially in regards to patches..why would the release of their 2nd chance be exempt?

This.

I can only be happier if they work more on ARR, they cannot fail a single piece of the puzzle this time.

Elexia, i think there's a misunderstanding here. Nodoby here is saying the game will be out in january or will die if the game delay (even if no one expect so much delay).
But, well, sorry if people don't believe in a internet pinco, came up from nowhere, saying a thing and taking it for a fact because you like believe it.

Like I said, I find the irony of people being bent out of shape and saying NO IT CAN'T COME OUT IN JULY THATS TOO LONG funny when they say SE should take as long as they want to get it right. Especially since we were never given a release date to begin with.

i'm ok with it.
Still, i find hard to believe it will be out in july if their time frame it's for january/february. To delay a game like that something really bad should happens, and with the info we have now everything is going good

Similar to my distaste for burbles.

sometimes when i'm running by a burble, i'll switch to monk just to punch it in the face. automatic reflex.

Shenanigans!

They are on track to an Q1 2013 release.



and



A July release is way too far off, especially with all the public attention XIV has been getting. It's in Alpha/Beta now.

July I would believe for the first major patch/add-on/expansion. Not for the relaunch.

[Meatdawg]

July works for me.

Get it right the first time.

[Fadigre]

How long does it take to make a game?

How long is a piece of string?

lol you guys must be really bored to still talk about this nonsense
