I was looking at this site.... Release date Summer 2013 for ARR?

[Elexia]

Summer makes the most sense considering not only are they behind but they confirmed the beta would start around February but we also know how Alpha was supposed to have started Late September to Early October and obviously they will need to take time to make adjustments and so on so forth after beta.

Not to mention, per PDF they stated they wanted to have certain things done by March 2013, or when they "expect" certain things done, which means if they're behind by 2 months, that already dumps that date by may..given a month of fine tuning, that puts it as June, which is a summer month in a lot of the world.

No date has been announced officially, and it will not until Yoshida says the game will be ready. No release dates are to be believed until Yoshida or a community rep announces it. We will probably hear here before fansites.

Awkward...most information we get about ARR has come out of a 3rd party medium like Famitsu or 4gamer, which is what fansites are...3rd party mediums passing on information. No we won't hear about it here "first", we'll hear about it first from interviews with magazines/fansites, then we hear about it here sometime later.

That's where most of the ARR information came from..magazine interviews, information still not even reflected on the official website.
