My only takeaway from this is that Larian better be hoping that they're confident in that August release window. Delay it too far and it'll get eaten alive by FFXVI's PC launch, which is most likely targeting December/January window.

Yes, they will need to do Patch 10 with Monk in MAR/APR 2023. And this allows them another press cycle of hype to prepare for launch, though I assume they will some some pre-launch promotion as well.

I think with the release date being in the next ~8 months and Patch 9 coming, I no longer believe Level 5 will be added to EA. I'm okay with that.
