Wow, I'm surprised any form of disagreement formed from the OP's statement.

I personally feel the reason we are not getting information on things such as the new class/job (Arcanist/Summoner), the FATE system, Gold Saucer, and other such intriguing parts of ARR might be because they wish to excite people just before release, instead of say a month before, and run the risk of any form of "disinterest" due to time.

If im wrong then they are just being the normal SE where they pretty much dont advertise their games, and let word of mouth sell the game.

Personally i'd like to see them continue to spend money keeping in contact with the fans as opposed to flooding the media like other games. They have to ration their revenue, and I like how they are paying people to stay in contact with fans, and using fans to sell the game by word of mouth. It seems like the best way, IMO to run a huge franchise like FF.

Think about it, they could spend all this money on media, and disregard the fans who actually spend their money on the games, or so as they are, really lavish its fan base and allow word of mouth spread the news. Bad thing is the NDA doesnt help much. BUT if you didnt notice the NDA was lifted for phase 3. (A change was made, because initially the NDA was in place for phase 3, but no longer is.)
