[Rumor] FFvsXIII team moved on FFXIV + Release date in...!

They need to be cleared with the rest of the team first! This is evident from this particular piece he wrote -

So, um, I haven’t actually told the marketing team about these screenshots yet, so they’re probably going to get mad. At any rate, our internal testing is over, and we’re bracing ourselves for the actual alpha.

I don't even want to think about how much trouble he got himself into there!

None. As you said it yourself, the letter has to be cleared by the marketing team. Do you think they would let him smuggle some screenshots in it? Or kept it online if he tried? It's just a marketing trick.

Good luck trying to convince anyone around here that Yoshida would do anything for PR purposes.

A good marketing trick is considered "good" when it's working. It obviously does.

I'm not saying he doesn't care about the game, or what we think, but seriously expecting him to leak us information that we are not supposed to get is naive.

edit: actually, after reading the Japanese version of the letter, there is no mention of him leaking anything whatsoever. So him getting in trouble is just something added in translation.

It's always been known the western versions tend to throw in flavor text like this a lot of the time.
