Nobody said Benchmark #2 with character creator yet?

As for NDA: With all the major stuff being added in Phase 3 (per roadmap: regional datacenters, PS3 client, importing v1 characters, every v1 customer in beta (>600k ?), new Limsa & Ul'dah, Free Companies, Linkshells, Limit Break, Materia, ...), yeah, nothing could go wrong.

I'm sure SE knows full well what they're doing, but I wouldn't be surprised if NDA is in effect for at least a little while into Phase 3.
