did we ever get a flood of information?

[Lurex]

98% of the info we have received was already pretty obvious or they already told us. WoWHD you can have this, besides the job system that's the only thing different I see from GW2, WoW, and every other mmo out there.

I wouldn't say "Only" thing different, because the other major difference from those games that you mention is that it is a FF title with FF fans to follow. Whether or not they will even be on board with ARR remains to be seen. Don't expect much.
