+Many players are still requesting faster battles and quicker action, and the developers are working on fulfilling their wishes.
+So far, players are very happy with the ease of solo play. In FFXI, players complained they couldn't get parties, but in FFXIV, they don't even bother trying to join one.
+New types of Guildleve quests will open up for players as they increase in level.
+The open beta phase will last about 2-3 weeks. Tanaka believes they will be able to handle several hundred thousand players.
+The game currently has 10 servers, with more possibly planned for when service begins in September.
+The distance between each city-state is very far, allowing players to really explore the vast landscape of Eorzea for the first time. Getting to and from Limsa-Lominsa will require access to a ship.
+Once the open beta is complete, all data will be deleted. However the developers are hoping to allow players to retain their names for the release version.
+The game has been designed in a way that players cannot monopolize certain monsters in an area.
+A new version of the benchmark software is under development.
