I'm personally not expecting any life-breaking news until the Alpha launches all the big guns have been shown and the rest is just polish that as desperately as we want to see it wont be available until early/late beta phases.

We allready know the big game-changers like the new server structure, the new jobs, most the battle mechanics, the feel of the new overworld, how the team feels about animations and whatnot. There isn't really a whole lot more they can tell us that would satisfy the masses, we need to get our hands on it the sooner the better. Personally the lengthy wait on the Japanese Alpha is hard enough I don't think any news between now and then will change our tense atmosphere on the forums or really give us much to give them feedback on.

They don't seem overtly worried about what we think at this point in time and are either going to completly ignore us or wait until the Alpha/Beta phases to start taking us seriously again.
