going to a 4 month cycle is understandable. it does suck a little, but i'm happy to wait a bit more if it means an increase in quality and a decrease in burnout

The One True Oden

I was bracing for a 6 month gap between patches, but they're only adding 2 weeks? Heck, that's nothing. Let the devs have more time off!!

I'd look forward to the patches if we got new questing zones in the patches. Maybe see other imperial provinces, like Nagxia. Would also be nice if places that were hyped up during the ShB patches but then we didn't wind up going to, such as the capital of Werlyt. Would also be quite nice if Matsuno's storyline got the conclusion it deserved with a final assault on the city of Lea Monde and the onscreen liberation of Dalmasca. A new job like Beastmaster would have made the patches more exciting.

This is the only thing that's bugging me about the live letter. Everything else is incredible, and I'm honestly incredulous that they're only asking for two additional weeks on the patch schedule, but also, this is conspicuous

What are you even talking about what were Bozja and Eureka if not new questing zones.

On the one hand an extra two weeks per patch cycle is barely anything and they really shouldn't have to justify it to this level.

On the other, it's actually pretty interesting to hear them explain things like... how game dev works to the audience, and why it's not as simple as "just increase the budget" or "just hire more people," so this is still kind of a cool discussion.

yea it's silly they feel they have to sound so 'apologetic' about it but I do rather enjoy the explanation on a technical level to illustrate why it's more complex than 'just put more money in the box marked FF14!!!'

They're doing so much back-end work in addition to plenty of new content, I'm surprised it's only this little amount of cycle extension.

Those were grind zones aka Timeless Isle clones, not questing zones like an actual questing zone. You didn't get to go into any towns or talk to townspeople or do quests there. Just kill mobs for 500 hours until you got all of your glowing Halo weapons. I liked the design of the critical engagements, though. Should be standard for FATEs going forward.

yea I dig this vibe for LLs, nothing huge revealed in super detail (lots of cool broadstrokes stuff) but just lots of nice information from relaxed sounding devs getting us hype for what's coming.
