Hint at pirates?

haha, it is like that, isn't it?

I don't really know about this, september 19th is pretty close and Pirates seems like the kind of thing you'd want to announce far in advance, like 4th job. Every version announced fourth Job's arrival at least a month in advance. So far, every version has done the same for Pirates... why should we break that pattern? Granted we don't have to follow their lead, but this would be highly unusual.

Absolutely agreed. That was the same thing I was thinking.

I still don't know why they still didn't open Tespia for the next patch.. did they abandone the "Content Testing project"?

I think it was really useful for us because we could find and report bugs BEFORE the patch got released on GMS, making it less buggy.

Maybe next patch is another Masteria expansion and they don't want anyone to try it in advance? (Higly doubt)

I think they should let us test pirates before releasing them on the official servers, because our version will be (maybe??) the first one getting them in english, and there may be a lot of typos/glitches.
