"Y: This goes for me as well but from the developments side we came to a timing where we can finally show something that is working. We have been making all the players wait a long time but from a point of MMO redevelopment this year and a half is really really short time and we have been working at a miraculous speed to this point. This time I don’t want to release until the I am 100% confident regarding the quality. Would appreciate if you can please look forward to different information and materials that will be released.
Also for the current version it’s finally near grand finale, you will see a last that you will never see again so please keep a close eye on this one. 3-4 years after FFXIV 2.0 you may feel that you should of taken part in it (laugh) I was there when Ultima Online server finished you can only get that feeling at that time. That kind of feeling will happen in FFXIV. We will put in our full effort for that “thing” so please look forward to that as well."

Yep excited to see the end of 1.0!!!
