    FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone

    "Happy new year to all of you eagerly awaiting FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn! Yoshi-P here, writing to wish everyone the best for the coming twelve moons.

    The outgoing year saw valiant adventurers gather to bear witness to the end of an era, and the alpha test for A Realm Reborn successfully conducted. Neither of these things would've been possible without your unwavering support, and I feel that now's the perfect time to express our gratitude anew. Thank you!

    Two years have come and gone since I first announced our four keywords: fun, live, reboot, and rebuild. With these keywords close to heart, we have gone from milestone to milestone along our journey towards rebirth. That rebirth is now within sight, and this year we will see our goal of relaunch come to fruition.

    In order to deliver a new and improved FINAL FANTASY XIV to fans of the game, of the franchise, and of Square Enix alike, we promise to spare no effort as we continue pressing onwards—towards release.

    Now then, 2013—the year of rebirth—has arrived. But just when we thought that the cataclysm that ushered in the Seventh Umbral Era is behind us, it would seem a prophetic passage, penned by a man we all know and respect, has been discovered. And the message it bears rings ominously indeed...
    "

    "To both our Legacy adventurers as well as those eagerly awaiting A Realm Reborn, we hope we can continue relying on your support this new year! (By way of a tip-off, be sure to jot January 7 down on your calendars! "

    oh what does that date mean, mew?

    Maybe the beta opens then? Or more trailers.

      Beta is already officially slated for February, so probably another trailer or perhaps more details on class changes.

        More cod pieces than you would know what to do with!

        I seriously just want them to at least make available a benchmark program.

            I wouldn't mind seeing class details. I'm not holding my breath for new classes but details would be nice.

            You can't really use a benchmark programme to see if your hardware can cope with a game when it is still in Alpha.

            Beta is fine though since knowing SE the Beta build will be the release version

              Didn't they say something about 2~3 different benchmarks they're going to release?

                Hopefully they will, at least it shows that they are taking things a little more seriously this time if they do. That said I'm still concerned abut a 3 month long beta. That is a bit short for an MMO's beta.

                  Nombre, what Mal said was correct, Yoshi-P was cited in an interview saying that a benchmark was suppose to be made available that would evolve as the game is developed. In addition, I believe the 2nd or 3rd release of the benchmark was suppose to feature a character creation module, similar to when PSO2 was in beta, and in that one, the ability to save the creation and import it into final release (I believe they had a similar function in 1.0 beta IIRC)

                    It's the 3rd one IIRC, but then I remember him saying that 1 of them was supposed to have a creator for it during beta so...

                    the 1st one should be out right before beta (maybe that's the Monday surprise?) and then a 2nd right before PS3 beta I think (or at least, that would make the most sense to me) and then maybe the final right before launch after everything is finalized?
