βeta tomorrow?! [ 明日? !] One more day?????

Sorry, a car ride is for getting to your destination, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy the scenery along the way.

When I drive, looking straight you still get to see the scenery, when you make a turn (look left and right) more scenery. Granted you can't sit and stare at it, you still can see the beautiful nature!

[Pwnagraphic]

I speculated what the OP quoted earlier, just never said anything. Just because he's doing another live letter on the 22nd and discussing beta doesn't mean that's when Beta starts. It could be Monday, it could be the Monday after the live letter.

I have no idea what was said after the first post of this topic for it to get to this, or what this means, but I did "lol" at seeing this after I posted because it's, in my mind, random.. lol

Just in case my analogy is misunderstood: you can play & test the beta at the same time.

Agreed, I was just saying that I will be doing both - getting in there before the haters is something I've become accustomed to on the Lodestone as of late.

Lady was giving an example about when you drive you don't really look at nature, and I just put my two cents in a said " well I can do it!" XD

And The Regular letter that's coming while he's in the US ( tomorrow I hope) that letter will have the beta info and here are some quotes to confirm this:

OK getting on board the plane now.
The new information coming out through this media tour will be released simultaneously world wide, it's not going to be little by little by in big chunk so please wait just a bit more.
The next letter should be up while I'm in the US.
Alright I'm heading out!

From 2-12-2012: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ish%29/page589

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!

Yesterday's Post regarding Next Letter (not live letter) will have the Beta date:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ish%29/page591

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!

He's in the US now, this letter will be coming tomorrow according to these posts if not then Monday at latest.

Yeah kinda flew over my head and I partially read it wrong to be completely honest :P.

[Seirra_Lanzce]

If I was managing a game like this, there's no way I'd start something big and unstable like a first phase Beta on a Friday since you don't want problems to arise on week-ends.
