It IS possible that I missed something, if someone that saw the stream noticed something I didn't mention, please let me know?

Edit3: Since I was at it (and thanks to Rorn that posted in this thread) I added a post with the profiles of all the voice actors that left their autographs on the scripts displayed at the event. Basically the whole Japanese voice cast of the game, which is really high-level.

Glad you found a photo of Yoshi-P actually smiling as a Miqo'te.

Someone mentioned a trailer coming in about a month, but that's news about PR, not news about the game. It could be the start of the "Marketing Blitz" mentioned in the voice recording blog.

And there's still 2 more Q&A sessions tonight (US time).

Nice summary. I forgot about the PS3 cert (thinking it wouldn't be needed until release).

For betas it's needed but the process is much shorter and less strict.

Miqo'shida ftw! (special thanks to Rukkirii for that term)

I think that new trailer we're expecting is the Limit Break trailer he mentioned in the last Live Letter. It's supposed to show off limit breaks for all of the classes to get a feel for their diversity and power.

So what's this Windows 8 thing they mentioned? Is it a metro app or something? I'd hope they have the companion app on WP8 as well since they seem to have the Windows 8 logo everywhere.

The event was just made in partnership with Windows 8, and i mean the PC OS. It has nothing to do with phones.

(I wonder if I'm the only one that finds it funny that the game is gonna release on PS3 and they do event partnered with Microsoft...)
