" I expect the first Closed Beta for the Japan and International servers to be held end September or early October, entering Closed Beta 2 this winter and Open Beta in January next year"

January beta?

Final Fantasy XIV has a more unique game history and culture, which is a big factor *refers to Final Fantasy 8, Faye Wong singing “Eyes on Me”*. Korean MMORPGs focus too much on the game itself, but not about the real life culture surrounding it.

I don't think he appreciates just how much GW2, ArcheAge and Blade and Soul actually define people's expectations, rather than WoW. FFXIV has a lot going for it too, but that's such an arrogant approach to have. Kind of a high opinion of himself.

And saying "it's a secret" when they ask what's new and innovative about FFXIV doesn't help much. Might as well be Tanaka at this point.
