In game message says 21:00 on the 25th till 1:00 AM on the 26th. So 9:00 PM tonight till 1:00 AM in the morning the 26th. So it will take 4 hours barring and problems.

Anybody else notice that the date has changed to Nov. 25 on the Lodestone? I could have sworn I saw it say the 26th this morning.

Well...I do agree that they need to do their updates but Monday would have been a better day then the holidays lol.

You know how it is..lol =P

It's so funny to read MMO forums when an update has been delayed...in another MMO I played, the update was overdue by more than 10 hrs and there were more than 20 pages of people complaining that the Devs had given them "the wrong timeline again" and they couldn't log on to play while the update was in process. More people telling the complainers that there WAS a life outside of the MMO-- "go read a book, go get laid, etc" and it was just amusing how many people seemed as if they had no life beyond the MMO.
I say be thankful that we can still log on, even if we are just grinding. The updates will be there on the 26th, and I'm looking forward to them. As many of you said, I don't want SE to release an update that is filled with bugs. If they're just taking time to iron out the last-minute-found bugs, more power to them.
To everyone also in the US, have a happy (and filling) Turkey Day!!

Honestly, I've played other games where the updates took upwards of 12 hours longer than expected and then there were bugs on top of that. If SE wants to take another day to make sure the update runs smoothly let them. Its not like you're losing any playing time anyway. Many players said they shouldn't have rushed to release the game in an unfinished state and it would be hypocritical to demand that they stick to their schedule if they see potential problems with this huge update. This time around let them take their time to release what could potentially be one of SE's important updates ever.

This delay isn't making or breaking my decision to continue playing FFXIV. Update delays do happen in other mmos, FFXIV is no different. Though having a delay right now isn't exactly the best move. As long as delays don't become a constant thing with this game, I won't have a problem. It is possible that they saw some problems with what they were going to update. Like a bug or some other issue they may have overlooked. If that's the case, I don't mind them delaying it to iron out some of those issues.

If they misjudged how long it would take to deliver with what they promised, fine. But, this is another thing that I don't want them making into a trend for this game. For whatever the reason is, I hope that this doesn't happen all of the time.

Either way, I'm looking forward to the update, to see what is implemented.

AAAAH one day delay! The world is gonna end! *hides under a tiny umbrella*

Seriously though, I hope this is a sign that they are trying to make sure the patch is as bug free as possible. :)

If you're not happy with this make the work for them, and so we'll see.
Changes will come soon enough stop raging like kids :/

It has been postponed to the 26th. Likely using the holiday as an opportunity to get everything they promised right the first time. Problem is, if they are lowering the SP requirements to R30 and all there really is to do is grind, what else is there to do until then <(0_0)>.

Unfortunately, this will be more ammo for the nay sayers. On the other hand it could just mean a bit more time to add a few more changes that where ready ahead of time. Still, not the best timing for a delay.

Next they will probably said they will have both patch together in December? And I mean LATE LATE Dec. Than again, u might see this message again in Dec.
