    The funny thing about it is ...

    Here's a model of when I expect new info releases.

    Day 1: Yoshida posts a letter with vague references to new agendas.
    Day 2-5: Reps on forum clean up the mess he started with inaccurate translations or mysterious comments.
    Day 6-14: No contact from anyone anywhere.
    Day 15-20: I think "any day now;" Reps start posting random quips about nothing.
    Day 20-22: I think "WTF are they doing over there" and stop checking Lodestone.
    Day 22-27: Someone in LS informs me of Lodestone update.

    So pretty much tack a week on to when I think any team trying to "keep in touch" with the fan base would reasonably keep in touch and that's what SE's done. It really screws up my sense of timeliness, but it's consistent for me at least.

    So I pretty much gave up checking this morning, threw my hands up in the air with an exasperated sigh and a shake of the head... which means any day now. Probably Monday at the latest. Any takers?

    I still think it's gonna be today, Yoshi likes to post around/after midnight in Japan.

    Well, my "any day now" includes today. ^^

    I just won't be checking as of yesterday's disappointment.
    That means from today within 4-5 business days.
    If my equation is correct, Friday is the best answer. Heh.

    Though my equation is roughly relative to when I get fed up with hearing nothing for 2 weeks.
    It's not an exact science.
