So... Phase 4 and beyond, speculation ...

I imagine that all this data will give this week or next at the latest, at least I hope so.

I wonder if SE will blog the worlds list for phase 4, or if we'll just have to wait for character creation. I don't think I can imagine that many world names. "Mammet-19-Epsilon world" LOL. Though FF wiki has over 190 names just on their FF enemies list, so we might be OK. ("I'm on the 'Chronodia (RP)' world! ... What's a chronodia?")

I thought Yoshida said phase 4 would be immediately after phase 3....it was a while ago though so hard to remember =(

Either way I hope it comes soon! ^^

(Edit: What Mjollnir said.)
Every time Yoshi-P mentions Early Access he has estimated 3-5 days, starting with a video he made the week before they announced everything. If there was mention of 7 days on any SE site, SE seems to have removed it. It may turn out to be more than 5 days, but I wouldn't expect it to be.

Also, whatever length of downtime SE is scheduling between phase 3 and phase 4, it's probably because they need it. Also, according to the roadmap:


Edit:
As for the OP's schedule speculation, it seems pretty good. It's no more than 1-2 days different than what I might guess.

Well the main thing is that things that were going to be put on hold until one phase were squeezed into another (Like Duty Finder). Other things that were supposed to be in at launch were squeezed into P4 (speaking specifically of Arcanist.).

Fisher was going to be pretty thin at launch but the devs on fisher got a bit excited and wanted to add more things so that was pushed back.

People are going to throw tomatoes at me but I think we could really do with more testing (*SPLAT SPLAT!* Eeeek! ) But you gotta release sometime.

True, said he would not expect much time between phase 3 and phase 4 but we can not do anything ..... just wait and wait.

Regarding server names, I'm interested to know if they will adopt creature names like in beta so far, or move to the trend of weapon names utilised in the later part of the pre-calamity worlds.

That looks like some announce day marketing images I saw that I couldn't find a day later. Even EB Game Australia (that image's source) has changed it on their store. I don't think it means 7 days for sure. (I'm OK with 7 days, just I don't think SE is making that claim.)
