When they're saying the game is 50% done (at TGS), I just don't see it happening this year.

50% done can mean a lot of things. Equipment, visual finalizations, eguipment graphics, missions, quests, guildleves...

They don't need ALL of that to be done to release a beta.

Also, TGS info.

New trailer:


There's also a trailer on the Japanese PS3 Store with in-game footage.

Also, not FFXIV related, but lol:

The Beta
Can you believe it? GAME Watch got actual information about beta testing! The first round of beta testing will be done with a relatively small group and be conducted worldwide. It won’t be a continuously running beta test but broken down into small 3 or 4 hour tests held at different times. They plan on doing very detailed testing on FFXIV so users will see how the game develops over time. At the beginning, tests will only be conducted with the Windows version. From the initial 3 or 4 hour tests they will expand to daily or weekly beta tests that run for 24 hours a day. After that comes stress tests which will require a lot of people. Tanaka says it could start with 10 thousand people and go up from there to 20, 40, and 80 thousand people. Finally, there will be a free open beta. Originally he thought it would take half a year to go from a development build to the open beta, but he now thinks it will be shorter than that. The interviewer guesses at a summer release based on that and Tanaka says it all depends on the feedback they get from players during the beta testing. It doesn’t sound like the development build he is referring to is the same demo shown at gamescom. He says whether or not a development build is made by year’s end will depend on the developers.

The interview ends with Tanaka saying things will be different from how FFXI started because they will take action against RMT from the very beginning this time around. People will also be able to use the security tokens and one time passwords. Komoto says visitors to gamescom were able to try out the game first but for people in Japan to please be patient because it will be awhile longer before they will have a chance to play it. Tanaka laughs and says he’ll be lighting a fire under the bums of all the developers.

Wow, if they are forecasting a summer release date, then that means the beta is just around the corner!
 
Eh, PC beta? No fanks.
 
Never said it was a bad thing. I just won't be in on it.
I'm one of the really, really few people out there who prefers console over PC.
 
Sad to say, this game may get Tubuku, kotsu, hollie, katjara, and myself to start playing again. Depending on how much time you have to invest. important part is that it gives me something to do with my ps3 other than watching movies haha

Tell those shitheads to let me know if they do decide to play XIV so I know which server to start on. I'll PM you my number so you can give it to Rob since that email never seemed to go through.
 
Hey tell Kotsu I said hi! I'm seriously hoping for some new information soon about the rest of the cities and other details about the game.

I don't know you or any of those people but my friends and I are in the same boat.... thought I was over mmos and now this had to happen lol
 
Seems like a new class just got confirmed

If you look to the far upper left, looks like Lancer is another class in FFXIV.
 
Yay, Dragoon/Lancer/Dragon Knight class confirmed, DRG has always been one of my favorites, and FFXI was the only FF that had them with wyverns, as long as they can jump on shit I'm happy.
