People need to read that later again even if they split the patch it would still come in June. Read it carefully people.

1.18 is going to be relatively bigger than previous patches. This means that balancing is going to take more time than usual, and so we’re anticipating a somewhat longer period between patches. Even if we break off some of the content and release it ahead of time in a 1.17b patch (which me might!), 1.18 will still go live sometime in mid-June at the earliest. Sorry for that.

For quick reference.

They "might" release 1.17b in May, depending on how quickly they can get things done, without having to consider working on some of the other complaints we have here in the English Forums.

Maybe the one who says it's true is saying the content is coming the other saying that they ( SE ) are false and its not coming. Maybe it is there sick way of screwing with us to make us thinks it's coming and if it is it will. However, if it isn't and they can't get the content done then they can fall back and say oh well I guess the false prophets were right no content is coming. SE's way of covering there ass incase they can't roll the content out in time...

If chocobo will not hop in on next sunday, nothing can surprise me.

LOL, I know what you mean... I feel like a member of one of those Bible-based Millenialist Sects, all of which sold their homes, lands, and belongings, and sat on the fields to wait for the end of the world in 1914. All this because of their calculations, based on murky numbers in their religious scriptures.

But, this is harmless... and fun.

lol. there's one going right now. they think the end is may 21.

Sixth sun of the seventh moon may actually refer to July 6th in the real world. We can't be entirely sure at this point.

Yes, I also considered that, but the whole thing is written in reference to Hydaelyn chronology, so I think it's not likely.

But who knows...!

:-p

Prophecy is best when it's vague. "The 6th sun will have set and the 7th moon shine in the sky" could mean anything, including:

• the 7th of any Eorzean month. These occur about every 37 Earth hours.
• the end of the 6th day of any 7th Eorzean month. These occur about every 19 Earth days.
• the 7th of any Earth month.
• the end of the 6th day of July.

and of course:

• the last sun of the 6th Astral Era sets and the first moon of the 7th Umbral Era shines in the sky (i.e. at night, the start of every day). This occurs whenever SE wants it to. Plus it's a Gods/Twelve thing, so they don't even have to wait until the end of an Eorzean year.

The 7th Umbral Age might happen this summer, or it might happen with the PS3 release or first expansion. It doesn't have to happen soon. SE could string us along with new lore and quests each month until they're ready.

...
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
...
-- Yeats, ca. 1920
