Yep "Mid Feb"
Doesn't SE usually release info, updates, blogs, at 3AM est? I don't remember ever seeing them release something mid-day NA time. I wake up check my email/lodestone and then continue on with the day.
I'm betting the 15th myself, releasing it on a friday will allow a ton of stress/feedback within the first 48 hours of it being released as most people will set aside a weekend.

You know they might release the beta and the benchmark at the same time and set the date next week. So release beta emails friday and beta begins monday? Or they might not give early download? I have a feeling thats how it was with 1.0 beta but its been so long I can't remember.
Refresh Lodestone, Tab over, Click New posts, Tab over, refresh blog, eat a cheeto, repeat

Really the only exact time to know is if you refresh the ffxiv service account page and see if code list is available. That will be one of the first enabled after the emails are sent. It certainly is possible for twitter, the blog and the lodestone to have a slight delay simply because they have to be written by a person.
I just check the lodestone once around 8:00 AM-ish every weekday morning. If there ain't nothin' then, probably won't be nothin' for the rest of the day. It's the same thing with the forums. These devs are like gnomes, after all; they get everything done while I'm asleep.
As for beta, I'm not expecting anything 'til at least the 15th or so of this month. 'Til then, I'll be melting my brain playing Fire Emblem.
