http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threa ... post448142Upcoming 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 large 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.
