FFXIV Where we stand now and till 2.0

[Starlord]

2.0 is only around the corner, with each passing day, Dalamud our savior of this repetitive maps shall be reborn! in recent Yoshi-P Post it was said that 2.0 Client is a a point of Reality, and I feel its necessary to show everyone this PDF again to let everyone see that 2.0 is not affect with 1.xx ( they left that 3 month cushion between 1.23 and 2.0, just in case there is any delays with 1.xx patches.)

Here is the PDF:



It shows that the Rebuilding Phase is over in April. However, in a Recent Yoshi-P's Post its done 1 month Earlier (3/14/12). There's also keywords Rebuilding Phase ( Map Redesign,Server Layout Design,UI Redesign and Engine Rebuilding). Technically speaking all that is done.

Now were onto Porting phase now which basically means, Porting Old content (FFXIV as we know it) and New 2.0 stuff (that we won't see till Radical Changes part of the layout, at the very least anyways).

Since were a Month ahead of Schedule of the 2.0 Roadmap:



And the porting phase has already begun (in March mind you), This gets me wondering:

1) Earlier release than expected
2) More time for getting things right(Debugging, getting rid of most lag a possible, etc)
3) Able to get more things into 2.0 that was suppose to be for post 2.0 Content.
4) Longer Beta Testing phase to get the last minute touches, stress testing, etc

And whatever else that they could do with that months worth of time that they happen to have under there belts.

I am really excited for 2.0, just like everyone else currently playing the current FFXIV, and I hope other people too when more people (most people) come to find out that 2.0 is coming and looks 100 times better than the Original FFXIV. So I ask all of you, Smile be happy, show SE your support (not always about how SE sucks this and how it sucks that), when we know the future holds something great that we will all come to love and enjoy.

To end my OP, I shall yet Post this Screenshot of FFXIV 2.0 because its what got my hyped in the first place ^^.

GO YOSHI-P!!!!

As much as I am anticipating 2.0, my vote would still be for more testing, longer Beta..
They need to QA the shit out of this thing... in every supported region....
they need teams everywhere from JP to US to AUS to FRA to GB all testing this bad boy out.....
Discover every exploit... uncover every glitch.... chronicle every possible crash.... these testers need to learn the new Eorzea down to every MOB, every pixel... Give every SE employee an account and see what happens with 2500 people on 1 server.... Stress test it....
Tell them anyone who finds a way to break the game gets a bonus....
Parse like crazy... Figure out the best setups to beat every single NM, farm stacks and stacks of every farmable item
Figure out the fastest ways to hit level cap...
And then after all that is said and done... send that thing to Alpha/Closed Beta/Open Beta testing

Hey Poet... I'm about to get on voice chat... But yea... they could get us to test it in the US... we'd find all the little glitches.. guaranteed!!!!

I agree, we already have FFXIV to play with till it comes, once everything is set up they really should start beta testing in August at the Earliest to October's Release of 2.0, 2 months of Getting everything Down packed Quadruple Check everything.. Leave NO room for error.. I trust in Yoshi-P he's given me enough reason to believe he can turn this baby around .
