Oh.. i thought he showed some new stuff there Sad panda.

Not trying to start any turbulence in your thread Rein, but have the Japanese expressed as much concern over the amount of gil being dumped into the economy due to the Atomos event like the English forums? Just curious.

[Reinheart]

There is this thread on JP side http://goo.gl/B7RDe talking about the atomos/gc/gil issue talking about how it's going to cause causing hyper inflation

[Guevara]

Why would they show older footage at TGS?

This.
This.
And 3 times this.

...really unbelievable.... they made us wait so long for info (remember first trailer delay???), I was expecting some genius marketing strategy XD

...kinda disappointed up to now, but still looking forward to ARR, eh

[Reinheart]

There is another announcement in a article... looking for the original source but people on JP side is saying once the server closes on 11/11 and YoshiP gives the next live producer letter then ALPHA will start, and they are all saying they thought alpha was supposed to run while current version is going and beta was when FFXIV servers close.

東京ゲームショウでの「FFXIV: 新生エオルゼア」の出展は、今回紹介する最新トレーラーのみ。試遊台の出展やGamescom 2012で実施された実機デモやプレゼンテーションも実施せず、11月11日の全ワールドダウン、直後のプロデューサーレターライブを挟んで、このまま日 本先行、Windows版先行のαテストへとなだれ込む見込み。

I pretty much felt that was going to happen. I don't see them releasing A Realm Reborn until at least early March to be honest. That is if they really do take the Alpha/Beta seriously.

[Orophin]

Wow. Yeah, we're not going to see retail until March at this rate. I thought Alpha would start in Japan in October AT THE LATEST.

[Munba]

They are going to close servers for 3-4 months? I think this is no good..

Cause, and is causing right now. (Partly because less people are getting other items, but also because everyone is getting really easy gil).

It's good if they create a solid game. I don't care how long it's down for as long as the finished product is great. Also, I have GW2 during the downtime.
