for the west im guessing still next month

i find it kind of odd that japan would get 2 and a half weeks extra time but global wouldn't. the implication there is that they could finish everything before may 30th, but opted to give japan extra time.

at first, the month difference could be chalked up to global being a month behind, but now that we're caught up, that extra time seemed odd. i get the overall closing date being pushed back, both for deadlines and japan's playability sake, but with all events seeming to end for global by the 30th, it seems odd that there would be an extra two weeks of time that only japan gets, when previously, they had a month less than us.

WAIT

Square Enix confirmed to be at E3 also!!!!

THE.........THE TIMING OF EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

bro I'm so excited to be dissapointed

fr tho if they put a new trailer for FFXVI I'll be more than happy

I'd prefer KH but eh

But the timing.........it's just so strange tho...............

Maintenance Thursday night

whoo

Maybe we'll get an update/notice on the new end date of the online service.

I guess this also means there won't be a story update for this week, though.

Maybe next week on the 29th

definitely likely

And we were so sure it'd be before then also...

TBF, I think that was the plan originally until there were setbacks that led the story conclusion to be split into parts and delayed to the point where the end date got an extension.

yeah, new updates cause old predictions to be worthless, and all that

W/ the union ranking not favoring ours the last week and how ranking seemed easier after Thursday, I think there may have been a decline in the userbase; especially w/ the easier lux ranking early in this week.

eh MAINTENANCE?!

will someone finally tell us what's going on

Only for an hour and a half and not really at a very active time either

oh

wonder what it's for

Notices seem like a good sign this time.

We should definitely get new end date info and we'll probably have to download new data to prepare for things like the next story batch as well.

as i understand it, there was a certain anguis party that just really felt like going all in, so that's why they shot up to 2nd this week

which isn't to say that there's fewer players, just that that's the specific reason this past week

Less effort and some switching unions

I guess you can say they crossed unions.

Yesterday was actually my five-day mark w/ some logins missed.

?

Aw man, I can't believe that's a theory

I hope it's not true

this reminds me of the theory that Sora is the MoM

Yeah, it's just too much

i like this one more than sora MoM but also.. the idea of making kairi the true dandelion when there's been no indication whatsoever that she exists in that time period is one of the worst twist tropes Ever

like at least they actually Showed us that ventus existed in union cross long before the re:mind stuff with vanitas and darkness lmaoo

I'm gonna stick to Sora being MoM until I'm wrong. The fun part will be that I honestly wouldn't care if I'm wrong but I'd have plenty of people lined up ready to tell me that I was wrong

I think the reason for that though is because they're honestly so pressed about it that they just want to prove somebody else wrong
