Upcoming Version Update Announcement

Hello, Matsui here.

I'd like to make an announcement about the next version update.

We’ve been working extremely hard to fit as much content as possible in the July version update so everyone can enjoy it over summer break, but due to balance adjustments, bug verification, and localization work we will be splitting up the update into two portions, the first taking place on July 9th (Tuesday) and the other taking place the beginning of August.

I apologize to everyone who was looking forward to this.

Below I've written out a comprehensive list of the content that will be implemented during each part.

Up until now we have released year-long roadmaps for FFXI.

We also tried releasing half-year roadmaps as well; however, the further out we write a schedule the less accurate it becomes, and we are only able to let you know about major and limited content.

As a result, many have been disappointed because of schedule changes, it's been difficult to make frequent updates to it, and there are too many cons to having this, so we'll be changing it so we provide something like the current style moving forward where we go over what will be in the version update to come.

We appreciate your understanding.

And REM changes are a long way off; they haven't even given us a definitive answer on some aspects, much less decided when to implement it

I really expected the AF to be in the next update. Looks like I'll return to the game in August to see if I'm quitting or not.

Another new animator? Interesting. And put me in the camp of "where the heck are the REM updates?".

Apologies, probably just missing it even though I've reread it a few times, but where is mention of STR/DEX adjustments for h2h and one-handed weapons?

Edit: AGI* for RNG of course.

By the time they get around to updating R/M/E, everyone will then complain about having to replace their fully upgraded Delve weapon with their R/M/E.

Well... was looking for a valid excuse to let monthly fee lapse in a few days. This was it.

10 years in and gardening takes update priority over new jobs...

Playerbase generally disappointed. Speculation arises that dev team is grossly out of touch with what players want/think.

Nice, but I preferred the "time spent working on ffxi, is time we can't spend working on ffxiv /frownieface" excuse.
