So FFXIV has been delayed 2 weeks, so it's now being released Dec. 3. I'm sad about the delay but I'm moreso worried for the devs and the crunch time they're experiencing.

:/

@Stinky: yeah. In regards to the timing of the announcement, it was right after Q3 so I'm 100% sure that they announced it during the PLL for that reason, rather than announcing it on the Friday before - when the decision had been finalized.

But regardless, I'm seeing so many players putting so much hatred out right now and it's like... Endwalker has extremely high expectations on the coattails of Shadowbringers. Which means that things have to be *extra scrutinized*, QA has to work *extra hard* to make sure they don't miss anything, and have you *seen* those bags under Yoshi's eyes? I'm sure he's getting at most like 3 hours a day sleeping. But a lot of players seem to be taking this as a personal sleight against them and it's kind of... like... "what? why do you think they'd JEOPARDIZE their relationship with their fans, the goodwill of their players, just to double check that 'this' line of dialogue didn't conflict with what some random NPC 3 expacs ago said in a one off side quest?"

@Stinky: I literally had an argument with someone who I thought of as my friend before their entitlement came out... I would never end friendships over XIV per se, but their entitlement about the change was absolutely gross - he was saying how they should have posted it anyways and that Yoshi P. was probably lying and fake crying and could've told us sooner. Before this, he'd never shown a lick of that entitlement but... guess he showed his true colors.

I personally have gotten over my initial disappointment and am seeing this as an absolute win! I'm using this time to level all my alt classes to 80.

I'm taking the delay in stride; if anything, it gives me more time to get at least one character into post-SHB content, if I don't finish 5.n before EW finally drops...

For the record, it was worth the wait.

Yeah, I'm not very far into EW content, but from what I've seen? Whoa.

See what conventions I'll be at next
