Why jot down January 7th?

[DarkkenMoneybags]

January 7th, Can mean something good is coming from SE. We can see a number of things which haven't seen yet or expecting to see. Some thoughts below:

ARR Benchmark
Beta App. Opening
Uldah & Limsa new city layout.
Arcanist/Summoner game play video.
New Class/job announcement
Beta invitations for legacy players start going out

or.....

ALL OF THE ABOVE will be announced.

You could be right. But like i said yoshi wanted to show that auto attack in the next live letter. If we're gonna play arcanist in beta (and i sure as hell hope we do because if anything needs to be balaned amd debugged it's a pet class) he might wanna show us that before we can play it or it would make no sense

Great way to get people to play arr beta: show new class footage. We know virtually nothing about arcanist/summoner. Other than the two concept arts from the teaser site which are confusing at best, we got some concept art of weapons. All we know is arcanist is a dot and debuff specialist with carby and books. Look at all the speculation about smn. I dont wanna derail this thread but summoner is way too vague at this point.

And i do think theyve got a bunch more tricks up tneir sleeves we dont know about. I have a feeling it's not just 1 class we're getting. Who knows? That pic could be hinting that they're going to do the whole one class/multiple jobs thing. If an archer can become a bard, why couldnt they become a bst as well XD. Have the mob you charm tank while you sitmback and shoot arrows.

I doubt we'll get any more footage till closed beta. Once closed beta starts I expect there to be beta preview similar to how the alpha had it. We can hear more about the arcanist class through the blog in final fantasy xiv site. Now with auto attack I honestly don't know what much can be seen from auto attack footage. It will probably be like 1.0 where you character just does a melee and I think a regular melee was shown on the battle footage.

I highly doubt there will be any gameplay video of the arcanist/summoner class yet since by now the only real testing done would have been from SE's testers. It would make more sense for them to release a gameplay video of the classes after closed beta comes out and they've properly refined it since what would be the point of showing a video of a character that could be completely changed if (hypothetically) the majority of players deem that it as not fun to use...

Well the baby behemoth is carrying Yoshi's arrows, but we all know there won't be arrows in 2.0. So poor baby behemoth is prolly gone too /cry. And the snake with moogle wings/crown? Ooooobviously new playable race: Moogle, New Class: Morpher. Duh, how did we miss that?

[Solace]

Lol I thought Beta was over.. I remember a while ago they said they'd release ARR by the end of December. Now they are talking about Beta in January? lol..
So when can we expect to actually see a functioning game?

[Morticous]

solace, beta will start sometime in feb, not jan. Alpha just ended, they announced a while back they are way behind schedule.
