Page 11 ........."Materia crafting" O.o

That could very easily be material melding, my friend.

I was thinking the same thing cause of the revisions being made to it.

True since it was originally referred to as such 'materia crafting' - though I hope their localization examines the wording. Distilling memories / assimilating memories really isnt a craft, as it stands currently (see further below also).

Before someone semi-logically says "what about brewery" you have to realize brewery also includes combining multiple materials, times, processes, and more then I can think of - can actually go along a recipe. Materia's only recipe is level and type, so if you want to argue crafting on those lines then I guess its an extremely shallow crafting experience Xd (shallow experience != good, rewording would lend better light if this is really the goal still).

* Dont want to insinuate complex recipe = good crafting, just meaning crafting is an involved processes requiring skill generally with hands specifically. Materia in the past really didnt fit this, unless skill = 2 seconds of rng while it converts into rng type of rng tier.


Certainly hoping for more then just the original - but we will see.

Ya, i realize that. Just seemed odd wording and i didn't see anyone discussing it yet.

Going with the Max Time for each phase since SE tends to do stuff later rather then sooner I got this timeline estimation.

Feb 18 - Beta Phase 1
April 1 - Beta Phase 2
May 6 - Beta Phase 3
June 10 - Beta Phase 4

Launch Late June / July ?

[HiirNoivl]

I vote August for launch

[Zumi]

I vote August for launch

Possibly I think June pretty much out of the question since they will probably doing phase 4 then.

[shane239]

I vote the game is released when it is ready :P

[HiirNoivl]

No word on benchmark? I am so excited to finally get to play, even if I have to wait more. ; ;

55(ish) days and counting!
