FFXIV ARR 25th for US?

[Vilhem]

I never said I was the one who gave you the answer, or are we going to split hairs over that too >.>

It'll probably come the same as everything else...midnight-2am PST for us, evening JST for them. That's how it was with Alpha anyway (OMG STAY UP TILL 2AM CHECKING YOUR SE ACCOUNT FOR ACCESS!)

Or is it the 24th for us? lodestone for both regions have it as the 25th, but we know that isn't possible lol. not sure which date they are referring to. If they base it off the letter then it starts the 24th for NA.

It is probably the 25th in Japan. Given that their midnight happens prior to ours in NA, you can likely expect it to launch in the late afternoon/evening of the 25th in and given NA timezone.

It's always been this way. Whatever date they've given for well over a year now is the day prior for the US.

Star I'm gonna stab you in the eye with a spork -.-

when we get on the beta forums there will be an exact time set for first testing period. From there you can figure out if it is on the 24th or 25th.

Thank you! A Mature Answer /hifive

Best guess would be 25th both, maybe around midnight US time(pst most likely) and mid-day JP time.

It'll begin when it begins.

Just keep those dang pants on.

That's what she said.

Not from you, you just complained -.-.

Anyways I feel like it's the 24th for US I just wanna make sure so I get the dates straight.

I honestly think you shouldn't mark your calendar / ask for either day off / whatever, the first day is probably going to be a clusterbomb of madness anyway.

Until they give an exact hour, you can't say conclusively what day it will be on. Really, why can't people just relax? I'm excited too, but you don't see me rearranging my schedule. There's going to be plenty of time to jump in. The beta will last at least a couple months.
