http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/pro...d/riverne.html

So I don't think it need to immediately coincide with 7th umbral era events, since they can easily show off "spoiler" stuff without giving away anything, since the landmass will greatly change due to it sure...but they can still show places off since it's not like people who aren't playing XIV will know what's going on and exactly why the world is different now since for all they know SE could have just simply redesigned the world.

"This new site will feature world lore, character, system, and content updates as soon as the information is available." I would consider world lore as a spoiler. I honestly don't see it happening until/after 1.23. The only thing that leads me to think if it may appear before is that he said the CG trailer is sometime around midsummer. However 1.23 is also around mid-summer so it's still possible.

I think that after seen the screenshots from 2.0 more people are coming to get the legacy deal and not just because they really want to play.

Haha is "soon" better than "eventually"?

Though it could be additional world lore excluding Umbral Era stuff if you think about it. They do a decent job fleshing stuff out in posts (that people complain about because it's not about raids or gear) but there's still a bit of lore they could touch up on. Just check out the localization forum, a lot of that isn't immediate spoilers but stuff they could easily add to a 'codex' or something on the website, that's how I generally interpret world lore..info about everything from naming conventions to stories that isn't/won't be present in game in full (think: Vanadiel Tribune.)

I think the trailer mainly is what contained spoilers they wanted to avoid showing off/flesh it out better.

Not many people have memorized the YouTube URL for the rickroll, so that still works on occasion.

It's been overdone, though, so you gotta save it for the perfect moment.

If I was SE I'd never say a solid date for anything. The people just explode the moment you slide a inch.

No date would probably be for the best. Still, no one sets the date but SE. I think that's why so many people get flustered when SE misses their own deadline.

If I were SE and needed a month to get something done I'd tell the players it'll be done in two. That way I could delay it for twice as long as I'd need and still some like a hero for releasing it on time or even early.

There's still Japan Expo and Gamescom (and PAX maybe?) for SE to attend, too.
