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

[Elexia]

No, that is how you're taking it.

I don't give a damn about trying to make a rumor credible or not, but you and others need to realize that the possibility that this game will have a summer release is higher than you want. There have been delays and no dates given for anything, fact.

You are trying to disprove whats being said here with hope.

If hope contributed to ARR's release, we'd have it when it was announced.

I mean, it's to the point people are calling BS on SE themselves.

As a matter of fact, I can't care the less about the release date. My pile of games to play is enormous, and it only grows with games I have to play for work.

What is ludicrous is the rest of the rumor, and when a rumor includes a ludicrous part, the whole source is deprieved of any credibility.

ARR will be released when it'll be released, but it's obvious that the author of this "rumor" knows no more about it than anyone of us.

I mean, it's to the point people are calling BS on SE themselves.

Nope, my dear twister. I'm calling BS on you and your "source", since you're saying something entirely different than what SE is saying. We're all English speakers here, even if some are obviously less proficient. You may want to stop trying to climb mirrors.

Haha, I knew it was only a matter of time..nothing stays on the downlow anymore.



I did say to expect ARR no earlier than summer for obvious reasons..though I was just called 'pessimistic' :\

Being pessimistic doesnt mean you are wrong (or right) :P

The sarcasm doesnt get you any optimist points that is all lol

To be fair, this is the Alpha testing phase. Anyone expecting a release by the end of the year has no appreciation for development life cycles.

Keep in mind, whatever date that is to be set down cannot be moved without making headlines, saddening customers, causing Van Darnus clones, and the lot. There's lead time for the company to deal with whatever potential problems and feedback may be encountered during testing. better to get it right now than after launch.

I don't think anyone really does.

Worst move SE could do....

FFXIIIVS>FFXIV any day of the week, SE get your bearings straight, FFXIV 2.0 won't be that amazing, it might be good, but really? This has priority over FFXIII?

It would help, Elexia, to provide more context to those links instead of throwing them out there and say "look right there".

The fiscal report for 2012 was on May 12th I think it said, so you can assume the 2011 one was also around that time. So that covered everything from May12th for one year.

When Wada mentions resources from HD Games (PS3/Xbox/Wii w/DLC) are moving to FFXIV he probably means when they originally decided to make ARR in June 2011; as thats the date they would have had to start to get a start on the client for the announcement. This means SE's HD Games are going to suffer until June 2013-2014 when they reallocate the resources back to other projects. Going by this its entirely feasible FFvsXIII's team has been working on ARR since June of 2011, not just thrown on board like some people are assuming. It also would fit into the rumor a few months ago of Vs was no longer being developed.

Wada also mentions ARR will be released in this (2012) fiscal year, or by March 31st 2013. However, I do recall reading somewhere that ARR will be released in Q1 of fiscal year 2013 (April 1st -> June 30th) but that may be my memory remembering something incorrectly.


So the point of my post is, yes I can believe Vs team is (and has been for a while) working on ARR.
What I will not believe is the estimated release dates from this "source" until I see concrete dates posted by the company as with everything, dates for release can change for a multitude of reasons.

When do you think 2.0 will start?

I am thinking Nov 12th. The reason I say that is look at the roadmap - http://gdl.square-enix.com/ffxiv/dow...Roadmap_EN.pdf

And before I get flamed for my statement, and for those who think am crazy, I have one question.

Can we agree that up until this point the roadmap has been followed to the letter? If you say yes, look at the mark when 2.0 free version will is scheduled to start. It is the beginning of Nov and no I am not talking Alpha.

They have been working on 2.0 all year and we are now currently "Stress testing the servers."

Early Christmas anyone?

A boy can dream cant he. . . .
