Why jot down January 7th?

[Ferth]

Did anyone else notice the snake has moogle wings and a crown? I have no idea what the significance of that would be, if any, but it reminds my of our friend Good King Moggle Mog.

I was curious about the wings as well. But he didn't have a bobble so I didn't want to assume they were moogle wings.

Yoshi trolling us.

7th January nothing happens. XD

cant wait to see what comes to us on the 7th! ^^ so excited! I really hope it is a benchmark

[Rizon]

A lot of speculation going on here so I will add mine.

1. Beta Apps open - I agree. The roadmap did say early January
2. Benchmark - I hope so. Will believe it when I see it.
3. Letter from the Editor - Again I agree though it will not be a live letter. Those require a great deal of preparation and we are normally given details well in advance. This letter will probably be an introduction to all that is planned for the 7th and the immediate future and possibly an update on developments.


In addition I would not read too much into the picture. I think it is just a whimsical expression of Yoshi-P and the forces at his command <is that Soken hanging out of his thigh high leggings?>

As always just my opinions

About the picture here is some info from the new official ARR page.

I would say probably release of the benchmark since pictures of it has been release.

Letter of the producer live talking about the changes from alpha that we will see in beta.

Demostration of the new chocobo breading, pet system and changes to the different jobs.

beta site up and benchmark O.O or i would have to re eat my shoe

[Orophin]

I'm guessing the beta application site will open on the 7th. And even though all Legacy members will be accepted into beta, I believe I read somewhere that you still have to actually apply to participate.

On the 7th day SE is going to take a break step back and show us what they have created.....

He will tell everyone that RDM(carbon-copy from XI) will be released at launch!
