Letter from the Producer XLII

[Skinwalker]

Dear SE...

We seriously have to talk about the meaning of "early"

lol

[Silversnow]

Going to go ahead and complain about the first char creation pic. Due to the super long necks that's a creeptastic bend that neck can do. Hope its not final. =\

And as for the "why bother with a benchmark when beta is same release time" well some people who have never played before and won't be in beta can test their machines against it. Its not all about the legacy members after all.

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.

I wonder in beta phase 1 and 2 if they will be limited classes available since the other cities won't be open according to the pdf.

imho Beta starts on the 25th

- 10th Feb: Yoshi leaves;
- 16-17th Feb: Yoshi might be back (assuming from the destinations he has to reach);
- 18th Feb: Live letter, Beta announcement and benchmark release;
- 20th Feb Beta forums live;
- 25th: test starts (almost in time).

It would be nice to get a rough idea on what is going on from one of the Reps or Yoshi-P himself. We know what's happening but little of the order it's going to happen in. There are many scenarios that can be speculated but are fruitless without some kind of official word.

That's not a rough idea you are asking for. Lol. He could be delayed a day or three for whatever reason on his tour and get yelled at for being wrong. Can't win giving any kind of time figures really. We can only be patient and wait for "soon" to arrive.

500x300 Screenshots. No real information about Beta start. No news about A Realm Reborn contents or delovepment. I don't care about having a precise date, about Beta or Release, but at least I'd like to read Letter From The Producer with some information content...

[HiirNoivl]

I has a sad.

I wanted to get at least a week of phase one before I had to go offline for 2 weeks. Now it looks like that's not gonna happen, gyo.
