I'm really surprised to get home and see no one made a thread about this!

The new Lodestone news posted today

FFXIV: A Realm Reborn Coming to E3 2013! (05/16/2013)

THIS being the most interesting part?
Since E3 is an industry-only event, many people won't be able to participate -- but don't worry! We're also prepping a lot of new videos (including an awesome new trailer!), assets and even some... hm, how should we say... "live" streamed entertainment?
I'm excited because it sounds like they plan to stream live Beta footage during E3 ... which means ....phase 3 will be up before then! I know E3 is June 11-13 and Phase 3 is "early June" so "of course" Beta will be up by then, but we all know how that's gone in the past... so I'm hopeful this is an indication of, at least, their intent. Squeee!!
