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

[Yoruichi4478]

They're no longer continuing development on 1.0 so they could end it whenever they please, the sooner the better as it's just bleeding money. If you read what it even says, they expected ARR sooner, but as many people and even media stated before, SE is being a bit too careful.

Can you blame them though? Look how well 1.0's release went.

First post ever on the lodestone, long time XI player whose kicked around in XIV here and there waiting for changes. So hello to you all!

Secondly, even if it's a 6 month waiting period they must really be increasing the content. Enticing newcomers while keeping the veterans happy with a bunch of... dare I say... "End game" content? With the added strength to the XIV dev team they are clearly not taking this lightly and are amping up for something really special- dare I say legendary?

The timeline makes sense to me. Wouldn't be surprised at all if this info was legit.

Hate to break it to you, but this has been a much longer wait than just a quarter delay. They've been working on this ---- for 2 YEARS+

It doesn't matter how long they've been working on it..what matters is the release was delayed from Q1 to Q2. (so far. allegedly.)

I really hope this was just a prank of some sort. While I'm not about to grab my pitchfork and a torch yet, if they make me wait this long to return I'll have no doubt found another game. I'm counting on this game to be released in early 2013 but if we need to wait until the middle of the year I'll probably be looking elsewhere for a new game. And I know I'm not the only one that would be going that route. Who wants to wait nearly seven to eight months to pick up where they left off again? By this time new and more promising games will have surfaced and are bound to catch a former FFXIV player's attention.

You can be as hardcore as you want but it's bound and likely to happen. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be so impatient I want a half-finished product yet again. But over a half a year's wait is a very long time and the average gamer these days doesn't have the patience to wait that long.
