Does announcing the actual release date mean now Yoshida is satisfied with the product? (ARR)

It seems to not leave room for any rework time if beta testers aren't satisfied with the beta phase 3. Or I'm just worrying too much?

I agree, the announcement feels a tad premature when so much is expected to change for Phase 3.

How was the decision for the release date made? Was Yoshi-P holding back until you could see the stability of the servers and UI, or are there other factors that contributed more? Does the team feel that the game is just in a fine-tuning phase that can be carried over until after launch? Is there elbowroom to push the release back if necessary? (I know I'm willing to wait, though I'd prefer not to.)

If the location of a country is in between NA and UK. How can the new players from such country know which version they are suppose to purchase? It's so confusing. What if they bought the wrong version? Why can't we just have one English version?

will it be possible to use the same house for all of your characters in your account ?
like there one big family that share a house that way you can make one house nicely decorated instead of 2-3 houses
maybe even put a shared chest for easy sharing of resources between your own characters

Will players from 1.0 get same story line as players that start play in ARR??

Will players from 1.0 get same story line as players that start play in ARR??

No, it has been confirmed that players who have a past from 1.0 or Legacy members will get a slightly different story-line then a new player to 2.0. more so because the character has the memory of the fall of the 6th umberal era and the start of the 7th at the hands of Bahamut

While I think scholar would be amazing, that art matches the earlier art for the Arcanist. I think that's just the summoner's lower form, it even has the book as a weapon.
