Letter from the Producer XLII

[Dhalmel]

I didn't expect the beta to start till the week of the 18th. Seems like my prediction is close to being correct.

[Seraphe]

A Beta start next week seems very unlikely now Should I reactivate FFXI?

A few weeks is nothing when it comes to XI. :/ But it's up to you.

I love the new hair on the Elezen Female. Glad to see some more of the new hairstyles.

They should probably change the forecast start date for the beta, doesn't look as though it'll be starting in the middle of February by all accounts. Maybe the very end of, but unless his next letter is early next week it doesn't look promising at all. What a shame.

So if the benchmark is being released *just* before beta (presuming they are on schedule for mid-feb, and the benchmark is still in test /tweaking phase), what is the point of running the benchmark if we are practically in beta already?

Same reason there WOULD be for running a benchmark at all. To know if your computer can handle it before you spend one~six hours downloading the game.

Its possible youll need to login to the benchmark and it will provide results to SE.

That makes pretty solid sense.

The Lalafell is sporting what was a male Elezen hairstyle in ver. 1.0, right?

Looks good, I think I might be changing my hairstyle.

[Arkine]

Lackluster at best, but beats silence.

TL;DR

2 new hair styles.
No beta this or next week.
