日本時間的には起きている人がどのくらいいるのだろうかという感じですが、
サンフランシスコはもうすぐ午前11時というところです。

今日は朝からメディアイベントが行われる会場で設営が始まっております。
そんな設営中の様子をちょっとだけご紹介。さて完成はどんなことになりますやら…？


なんということはない（というと失礼ですがｗ）街角の建物が会場ですが―


中には木が……！？


何やらまさに設営中という感じですね。


こちらの男性の手により、窓の向こうがサンフランシスコの街並みからグリダニアの森に！！


このあとホテルで普通に仕事をしている吉田Pを引っ張ってきて
リハーサルなどと準備を進めていく感じです。うまくいきますように…！

This is where they are going to hold the media event, the last pic shows the guy doing the windows to look like Gridania. They are going to do the rehearsal and prepare for the event.

Now that's Epic and Dedication right there.

It looks like they're setting up the Adv guild in Gridania O.O...or something close >.>

Well at least we get to know the Release of Phase 1 within a couple days ( Yesterday he said in a few days :P)

Starlord, I want to believe this, but where exactly do you infer this from? o.O

TBH I have always believed Beta would start on the 18th (I think Alpha started on a monday, and I thought the 11th sounded early, while 18th sounded more possible) and once Yoshi's trip was announced then the live letter date, I still hoped and believed it could happen. Some Americans (ME!) have the 18th off due to President's Day.

Sorry for crapping up the translate thread

Hah, they're at the box in SoMa, I could walk down there at lunch today and creep on them.

[Vilhem]

SoMa is awesome ><!

Producer/Director Yoshida here,
We arrived San Francisco, but this morning I overslept, this only happens maybe once a year or never. I scared the daylights out of the staff...... Glad we made it on boarding time ^^;
Right now I'm preparing the letter at the hotel, should be able to get this out in next few days.
Also got lots of stuff going on at the same time, checking the Beta manual, checking the announcements, talking with the devs, logging in to Beta and making checks. It doesn't feel like I'm at overseas (laugh)
Tomorrow we'll finally start rehearsal at the stage, once that's over we just head over to the medias with super hard schedule. I'm sure Lady M and Moldbol will keep you guys in the loop on that part!
Alright that's it for now, talk to you guys later!

In the next few days ( which was posted Yesterday), which is now "Couple" of days. He'll be releasing the date of Beta Phase 1 Per Yoshi-P's Quote:

As mentioned by YoshiP himself in the last producer letter, at the next letter we are planning to announce the start schedule for Phase 1.
For something like this which involves reporting the schedule of the project needs to be translated and announced globally simultaneously. Therefore we can't just mention it on the forums alone. Hope you can understand.
Also this thread is mainly for the back stage info of the media tour so please keep that in mind as well! Thanks!

This is what I refer to.

Some posts that came up last night.

So basically the Next live letter is on the 22nd. From this they say they will "announce" the beta date on the 22nd. So really When they said Beta is going to start mid Feb they really should have said the end of Feb. I hate getting my hopes up.

Should go take a few photos tbh. ^^
