What's weird is that software distributions is supposed to start in September already =X

And yet there's still 11 days in this month?

What do you mean? I just find it weird that they're going to start distributing the game client possibly half a year before the release of the game.

Wouldn't they call it a "beta version" client then, as they do withe PS3 one?

To add to the confusion they're supposed to "reinstate limited free trial for PC version" in October. What does it even mean?

I just took it as you didn't think they had a system in place ready to handle this yet.

It means we won't have to pay for the 2.0 until its general (PS3?) release.

Ah, yeah I guess that makes sense =)

I suppose that means we will definitely be playing 1.0 until November then.

Have they said they are really far off the timeline?

・October to November 2012 – Reinstate limited free trial period for PC version

I know it's kinda old but I have not read that they are behind schedule.


I only hope the α & β aren't as long as 1.x was...
