FFXIV: A Realm Reborn Beta 1 & 2 Press Previews (No NDA Breaks here please)
Today the press embargo (not the general NDA. See disclaimer at the bottom of the post) has been lifted for Beta 1 and 2. This means that there's probably gonna be quite a lot of previews and articles coming out for everyone's enjoyment (or dismay). I'll post mine here, and will add the other ones I find around the net. If you find more please post them, and I'll add them to the OP as well, so we can discuss them, throw rocks, cheer and what not :cool:

Disclaimer: today Square Enix authorized a number of media outlets to post previews and impressions on phase 1 and 2 of the beta, with the embargo dropping at 9 AM PDT. Again. Previews have been expressly authorized by Square Enix, but remember that the general Non Disclosure Agreement is still in place (so much that we have been asked to avoid posting our own screenshots), so please refrain from posting anything that breaks it in the thread or in any other environment, as doing so can earn you a permanent ban that would jeopardize not only your further participation in the beta, but also your ability to carry your Final Fantasy XIV progression into A Realm Reborn.
