My favorite part of the live letter

Wada joined Yoshi and the team and was quite relaxed.

Yoshi: you just took it ??
Wada: yeah I’m the president...

It's good to be king lmao

Wada actually plays ff14 too :-)

that casting animation is bad ass

They make it sound like " Housing" will be Non-instanced o.o.

Q: Will players be able to go to new areas such as Sharlayan, Ala Mhigo, Garlean Empire, and Ishgard? Also, will there be new areas introduced?

A: As far as Ala Mhigo and Ishgard goes, they won't be available immediately at launch. All the areas will be revamped in ARR so you can consider all the areas "new." You'll see new settlements, monsters, and dungeons. Also, the dungeons will be three times the size that they are now. If we introduce Ishgard and make further changes to the current nations, it will take another year to launch the game... Furthermore, Ishgard and Ala Mhigo areas will be introduced in order. Stay tuned!

The one highlighted in red, Appears to be in ARR at Launch. Just Ala Mhigo and Ishgard will not.

They only mention those two " Not" being at launch. Sharlayan was not mentioned in the "not" part of it.

Neither was the Garlean Empire. My impression was that they mentioned those because they WILL be in the game eventually, just not at launch.

Well the impression I got from that was:

If Sharlayan, was part of that list, they would have said " Those three areas won't be immediately available at Launch". But perhaps Sharlayan will either be at launch or the First patch after ARR Launch. That's my speculation on it anyways :p.

Maybe the speaker just forgot they asked about Sharlayan

Lack of acknowledgement of absences is not confirmation. For example, when asked the question "Do you like fish or chicken?" and you answer "I like chicken", you cannot infer that they do not like fish. Its one of the first things you learn in a logic class.
