Simply this^ .

-3 phases just for 1 region (Gridania) and their classes,
-2 phases for 2 region and their classes...

@Nadrojj , believe me, i want this game to be succesfull, more than "anyone" :/

I understand your trepidation, I too am cautious. It's too early to judge however and they can't let all their plans out of the bag just yet. Need to give these guys the benefit of the doubt here, they are putting in the hard word to give us something that will be built to last. I really want the game to succeed, this will be my last major MMO, and I want it to be a good one.

Mine must remain hidden from the world. It is not yet ready to bear the second coming of Hyristian Subligaria.

The actual release date, and the push through various beta phases will highly depend on player feedback.

If the game is unbalanced and rough in phase 3, and the players testing it speak up, then it will be fixed before it is pushed to phase 4, regardless of how long this takes.

The point of testing is to ensure everything works before it is put in stores. If the game is unbalanced, it won't be pushed forward. Hence the lack of a release date, as that date is still unknown.

Well i think that the zones / content will be the same of the alpha.. plus the FATE system...
Also, we are supposed to give feedback regarding the other classes in the final 2 phases... isn't that too late? *mumble mumble*

The roadmap say there is more

- The following will be implemented for testing:
Main scenario (partial) / Sidequests / Class quests / Full Active Time Events
Hunting Log / New behest / Dungeons (up to level 35)
Opening event (excluding CG movie) / Cutscenes / Player Search
Markets / Item Search (text strings, HQ, materia, etc.) / Other

- In addition to the above, the following is also scheduled:
Fall damage testing / Alpha feedback revisions (part I)
Alpha UI feedback revisions (part I) / Graphical tweaks
Performance optimization

As soon as I seen that clip first thing I thought of was ff11, don't know why but ff11 Sandy city was on my mind.

Yea it kinda would be too late. It would be way better for us to be able to give feedback on the classes from the beginning, but all we can do even when beta test starts is speculate on the Uldah and Limsa classes/jobs. They could be broken as hell and it would be too late to get any real fixes on them before launch, however Gridania classes they should have plenty of time to fix their brokendness, especially since they should have had some feedback on them in alpha. They must really like Gridania.

I think that Limsa/Uldah areas/classes are most likely still in production, perhaps that is why they are not going to be released in phase 1. No other reason for SE to not get as much testing as possible on Limsa/Uldah during beta.
