Alpha 2 starting soon?

[Kittkatt]

I can't wait, I hope I get an invite, I really wanna help test and shape the future of this game. I want it to be unique like FFXI was unique, its why I played FFXI for 8 years, here's hoping, looking at you SE.

You only wish this was the case.

Speculation.

Nov 11 is the final Beta test for Alpha 2

Yeah, our next info dump will the be live letter. No use holding our breath until then.

Which will all be in Japanese and we wont get a translation for about 2 weeks.

Rermember that Alpha is just a test of the servers.... it is not ARR. Yes, Phase 2 Alpha is Japanese only and it is expected to end before Yoshi gives his update on the 11th. Phase 3 is primarily a California test to see how the servers communicate. That will start when SE feels the hardware is ready. Phase 4 is the full set of servers interlinked world wide. It is expected to go welll and be finished before Christmas. Beta test of ARR is schedueled to start about Christmas but may be delayed.

You seem awfully well informed, where did you get this information?

According to JP friends, in the live letter they will be announcing that other regional phases will be at the end of the month going into Dec. The reason being simply that the dev team needs a break. We'll find out if this is true or not soon, but I think it's for the best.

Although this is what may happen. We will find out about the other alpha phases come November 11th.

December should likely be Beta testing phase on PC and PS3
