Originally scheduled to be released in mid-June, Final Shadowbringer of Fantasy XIV& # 39; Update 5.3 is being pulled back in a few weeks because of problems arising from the covid-19 problem. In a letter to the public, Director of Game Naoki Yoshida described the difficulties in managing the development of the MMO during global violence.
Update 5.25, which you introduced new remains to hunt for more online multiplayer game among other new features, released earlier this week, but only. According to Yoshida, the development of post-processing was done mostly during the 5.2 patch cycle, so workers who either worked from home or came to the office safely managed to get rid of the finishing touches and received a refill at the door.
Japan has now officially declared an emergency, so further development is very difficult. Developers work from home. Servers are stored remotely to keep the game running. Work in Japan is underway, but slowly. And it is not limited to Japan. As Yoshida says in her book, progress has continued Final concept XIV
Yoshida's book features players' apologies for the delay. It shouldn't, but it does.
We sincerely apologize for the disappointment this may have on our players, as we know you are looking forward to a new hold. However, it is also important to prioritize the physical and mental health of our development team, without whom we will not be able to release quality updates and expectations for FFXIV, so we ask for your understanding as we adjust our plan in accordance with this situation.
I speak for all Final concept XIV players (other than the awesome ones) when I say Yoshi-P, dude, you have our understanding. Take care of yourself and your team. We can wait.
