Did anyone see those screenshots?

[Lurex]

Those screenshots look amazing! The world seems immersive, something that I would <3 to go and explore! In one of the screenshots, I thought the Roselet's were very thoughtfully placed. I love it so far. This for sure is going to be a completely different game!

Some of these caps look so sweet, and the sketches <3

I'm throwing my money at my screen but nothing's happening! D:

I think this T-shirt should come with the Limited edition box of FFXIV A Realm Reborn. I really want it!

I just looked through the concept art again, this looks very reminiscent of Jeuno's main auction house strip from XI to me hehe!

[Siegtaru]

Haha, oh my, now that you've said that, that concept art kind of does look like the Jeuno AH strip. /gasp

Or maybe because we are current players we don't need to register for beta? We are all 'registered' so to speak and will all eventually get in? Pretty sure that's what we've been told before. ?!

Here you go:

GE: Do you have any ideas yet on how will people get into beta?
Yoshida: We decided not to tie it directly to the legacy campaign, but we want to prioritize getting the current players that are playing now into beta.

Well, they wanted this game to be a fan-service game, so I wouldn't be surprised if they made that city with Jeuno in mind.

I always figured Ishgard was going to be the Jeuno clone (it even looks similar from the outside) but seems they're going to blow it up instead!

*puts on German translating hat*

For those curious about a translation on that video, I'm sorry to dissapoint. The commentary was mostly "look, now he's doing this" and "you can do this too" which are things comparatively obvious to us as existing players. You're better off just watching and absorbing what was on-screen.

Only tidbits of info that properly pricked my ears was that beta would be in Winter for both PC and PS3. (Which by EU standards means after December 21st.) They were handing out beta registration codes in exchange for email addresses.
