Global Alpha Test Start Date

[Reinheart]

After watching the open conference session with YoshiP I have even more confidence with YoshiP so it's safe to say don't worry... he knows all of us who stuck loyal to this game all this time is waiting to try out ARR.

Just hang in there guys, it's next week already when he starts adding the next batch of people and after that him and the team will try their best to get as much in as possible for the ARR and try and keep them servers till near end of December... which if you look at it.. it's only additional 3-4 weeks. Seems like long time for some (most?) but it's really not that long when you think about it. He knows he needs to keep us entertained with new info and such so pretty sure those will be in place every week as well, maybe he'll be able to get some footage from beta since we have almost seen everything from alpha already.

I think it's good time to say close this thread already & for people to just wait... don't create more threads about not being able to get in alpha... I want in too just like eveyrone but posting about it and whining about it is going no where. Dev team needs to make sure the tests are being done correctly and efficiently to get the most results so they can fine tune the final game, once those are done they will give us the 3rd world for others to join the alpha test servers to try the alpha version out.

I really enjoyed reading that last translation you did from the stream.

I'm sure he does Reinheart. Mind you, I have almost total confidence in Yoshida.

The problem is that Yoshida doesn't handle this kind of things directly. I'm almost sure (say 90%) that Yoshida didn't have the slightest idea that opening the final event to everyone would have also opened alpha applications to everyone (as again, I'm almost sure that's what happened), and his reaction to it was "WTF happened here?!" when he caught wind of it.

If Square Enix was made of 2000 Yoshida-clones, I'd be a LOT more confident in the smaller middle-man decisions that are out of his hands but can still damage his work.
