How long will FFXIV be down for?

[PinkamenaDiane]

Anyone know how much downtime there is going to be before ARR is out? 5, 7, 10 months ?

The only and most accurate answer: No one knows.

Too long >.>

I'm not done playing! lol

Q1 was the goal release so.. 5 seems what they want, 7 is what might happen and 10 fkin sucks.

I could have sworn during the special talk session Yoshi-P mentioned January.

There is a rumor ARR will release in July. I am really hoping that isn't true, that is a long time to have no game at all.

There's rumors for every month and day you can imagine. None of it is anything more than a rumor or speculation. There's no point in it- it will come out when it comes out.

I remember the community rep called it a "really off the wall rumor" before he locked the thread in the face of the naive people that believed it.

And yeah, it was. It didn't hold a shred of the realism, not because of the release date, but for the rest of its contents.

Why would one believe a rumor started by a random polish dude on twitter, it's beyond me.

Simply enough, those that throw out a date (early or late) are taking about nothing else than their baseless assumptions or spreading blatantly false rumors without a shred of credibility.

July? That can't be true :/ The game is in alpha phase after all..

Rough guess? Jan-Feb next year. Depending how beta goes. But as said above - no one really knows..

[Zenaku]

Anywhere from 3-5months but we get to play beta at least

Till July 2013 or later. People told them to take as long as they want and need to make it get right and Yoshida agrees, so.
