No way is the beta going to start on 15th. We may get a solid date but it's probably going to be at least another week.

You never know what the Letter will entail. Aside from the Beta date, we could get the Benchmark ( they could very well side out beta invites if they really wanted too.

We can really expect invite any day now, now that we know the date of the live letter and when next dev letter will be. It can be anywhere from today till the 18th.

Some posts that came up last night.

Hello

ご心配おかけしてすみません！
Sorry for making you worry!

前回のプロデューサーレターで吉田Pからのコメントがあったように、
次回のレターでβテスト フェーズ1の開始日程についてお知らせする予定です。
プロジェクト全体に関わる日程の報告などは全言語同時にお伝えする必用があるため、
ポロリとフォーラム上の通常のやり取りで記載するわけにはいかず…この点は
どうぞご容赦ください。
そして本スレッドは、メディアツアーの（舞台裏的な）速報やご報告を目的としており、
その点もご考慮いただければ、と思います！
どうぞ引き続きよろしくお願いいたします！
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!

Some posts from the media tour posted last night on JP side.

メディアの人となると1社複数人となるので、何人になるのかもう凄い数ですが、
メディア単位でカウントするとUSだけで17社（xインタビュー）、EUは国が多いので25社（xインタビュー）。
はい、がんばりますｗ
When we deal with the media there are several people in one media company so there will be lots of people but when you count just the media companies we got 17 companies in the US (x interviews) and for EU with many countries we got 25 companies (x interviews).
Yep, will do our best w

Hello,

ちょうど日付が変わってアメリカ西海岸もバレンタインデーに追いついた感じです。
無事に準備も終わり、明日からがアメリカのメディアイベント本番です！
さてさて、何が飛び出しますやら……
West coast US just passed midnight and it is now Valentines day.
The preparation is complete and starting tomorrow (today) we're going to start the media event in the US.
What will come out......




会場はもう綺麗に整っていて、この写真とは随分と違う状態になっています。
……が、PRチームから「せめて来場するメディアが目にするまでは全容は勘弁して！」と
要請されてしまいまして、協議の結果、全容はもうちょっと待つことになりました。
早くご紹介したいので無事に突破できるのをお祈りください！
（全容は待つけど部分的になら…！）
The site is decorated beautifully and it's much different than this picture.
......But, PR team requested to not show the entire image until the media looks at it! so will need to wait just a bit more for us to show you guys that.
I really want to show it quickly so please pray for us that this will go well!
(Will wait on the entire stuff... but if it's in bits and pieces...!)

ちなみに、英語Repチームも隙を縫ってあれこれ頑張っておりますので
この場を借りてご紹介。独自の写真なんかも数点ありますよ！
興味のある方は是非眺めてみてください。
Also, NA Rep team is working hard so going to use this chance to introduce them + They also have couple of their own photos they took!
If you're interested please check them out.

公式ブログの方にご注目ください。

Finished the 2nd presentation. This is exhausting w
Got interview with 3 more companies and that's it for today.
Next letter is planned to be up at JST evening on the 15th.
Also the media tour this time is done in order from Tokyo > San Francisco > London. Once the information is spread to all regions (medias) it will be released simultaneously. So for now please watch closely to this thread or official blog.
