Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker piti julkaista 23. marraskuuta, mutta nyt julkaisua on lykätty joulukuulle. Asiasta on tiedottanut julkaisija Square Enix. Tuottaja ja ohjaaja Naoki Yoshida on pahoitellut tilannetta. Lyhyesti sanottuna lisäaika tarvitaan kaiken hiomiseen täydelliseksi.

Ohjelma onkin nyt seuraava. Julkaisu tapahtuu tiistaina 7. joulukuuta, ja Early Access -vaihe alkaa jo perjantaina 3. joulukuuta. Sitten Patch 6.01 saapuu tiistaina 21. joulukuuta, ja Patch 6.05 tiistaina 4. tammikuuta 2022.

"[...]As we neared the end of development and I played through everything—from quests to battle content and the like—I just couldn't contain my desire to further improve Endwalker's quality, specifically because this expansion pack marks the first major culmination of events in FFXIV so far. Even as we look beyond Endwalker, the FFXIV story will continue for a long time and we hope to deliver many more enjoyable experiences in the game. However, it was precisely because Endwalker concludes the first major saga that I felt our team needed to push ourselves to the 'limits' that I envisioned.

As a result, we remained firmly resolved to adjust down to the smallest nuances and ensure our writing covers even the finest points of the vast and intricate story that has spanned these past 11 years since the original FFXIV to ensure that everyone can fully enjoy their adventure in Endwalker. Unfortunately, the consequence of this was that we ended up in a situation where we cut into the time required for final quality assurance checks due to this time spent on additional improvements.

At this rate, there was a bigger risk of us reaching the release date without ensuring 'stability' as one form of quality, and for that reason, I have decided to postpone the release at this time. As we also anticipate large amounts of congestion across all game Worlds, I felt that even in this respect it wouldn't be right for us to release the expansion while lacking adequate 'stability.' I am truly sorry."
