    Patch 1.17a has been announced but...

    What changes will this bring? Do we have any idea as of yet?

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    None. It's a maintenance patch. Major update are usually numbered, not lettered.

    1.16 - System Adjustments, implementation of NM content.

    1.17 - Preparation for Grand Companies, Mid-range NM Implementation.

    1.17a - Fixes, fixes, fixes. It's gonna be a small patch. SMALL.


    To reiterate, content and gameplay patches tend to be incremential in NUMBERS. The "a" at the end of 1.17 means it's a fix, or a progress patch.

    Don't get your hopes up.

    Except they already said that 1.17a is going to contain the major changes already planned for 1.17 that couldn't be finished for 1.17 because of the Natural Disasters that impeded their development. 30% of 1.17 is still being stuffed into 1.17a

    Yep. Hilarious isn't it? (I'm from Besaid, btw.)

    And in response to all those who mentioned Yoshi's statement about 1.17a? I was going off of the western approach to patch increments - in Western development, lettered patches tend to be hotfixes or backend updates, while full numbered updates are major patches.

    So, I apologize for the confusion.

    or 70% :O!!!!

    We know at the very least that 1.17a will have the Grand Companies in it.
    This is setting up for disappointment.

    They had announced they split the patch into two this time. 70% in the last patch, 30% in this one. Just want to know what we will be seeing
