Why jot down January 7th?

Prolly not going to be a Beta app.. Most likely going to be Benchmark #1.

I hope you're right as I think most of us here will have no need for the beta app.

I think it's 50/50 though. Both were indicated to be coming soon (Beta app even being specifically indicated for early January somewhere?)*

*Edit: on page 6 of the roadmap: "Please access the FFXIV: ARR Beta Tester Application Site (opening early January 2013) for more information."

Im betting its the beta signup going live, Im hoping they will also release the benchmark at the same time

I like your thinking Ozz!

The pig is a chibi baby Behemoth with a quiver tied to its back

I think these are all hints that these critters will serve as pets :O

Cool pic, I also think it will be beta sign up and the first benchmark ..Can't wait to see what happens on the 7th.

probably Benchmark, because he did say 1st benchmark is before the start of Beta, and the 2nd benchmark is before the launch.

2nd Benchmark is the Character Creation kit. 1st one is the normal benchmark

I thinking both benchmark and beta apps when ffxiv 1.0 had beta they release both so you can test how high score you got to see what your pc does with the beta version.

I'm going to guess a new Live producer letter.
