I wish it were going to be on the PS4, I think we'd know if it was or not though by now. Maybe they're saving it for E3 or something.

Upcoming info, and "Yoshida says a PS4 version is possible as the team would like to reach a wide audience, but a final decision will be made when the time is right."
Sounds to me like PS4 version will come if the game/ps4 does well.

Also of note, "Yoshida thought that the global cool-down in Phase 2 beta was too long." Good so we should see some combat tweaks. Also it sounds like the UI is being redone for phase 3. "How's Hiroshi Minagawa doing? (person in charge of ARR UI, wiki link) > Great! He completely revamped the UI for Phase 3. The stuff you see now will no longer be there"

Ah nice, here's to hoping for an E3 announcement then. Hopefully Square pulls out an awesome show and announces this and FFVs13 rebranded as FF15 for the PS4.

An E3 announcement would mark the 4 year anniversary since the game was originally announced. Remember when that happened?

Sadly, phase 2 also limited playersthe theregion of Gridania, which though completely redone and mind bogglingly gorgeous, one can't help but wonder what they've done with the other regions of the world.

I'm almost moved to tears by all this communication from S-E. Having played FFXI from NA launch where all player communication, Japanese included, was treated mostly with stony silence or the odd contemptuous, "You're not playing the game how we want you to, you need to adapt not us!" this is like spring water to a man crawling through the desert.

Nah. But I did go through the posts on FFXIV Junkies when it was first revealed, and you don't even need to hit up the "Continue Reading" sections to find errors. Take for example the summary from the Mark Jacobs interview:
This week we sit down with Mark Jacobs and discuss his Kickstarter project: Camelot Unchained. Our conversation ranges from what to expect in the game to going over his founding principles and getting to the bottom of what he wants his game to become. Camelot Unchained looks to bring old school RVR/PVP ideals to a modern game. While not shooting for a AAA game created to support millions of players;Mark Jacobs hopes to fashion a game for RVR players only. Not sacrificing design to make everyone happy, Camelot Unchained hopes to bring RVR toit'sniche market.

Edit: There's also a lot of other things I'd like to fix or see fixed. For example, the link toWrite for Junkies Nationleads to a page with an error. Also, "COMMUNITY ENGADGEMENT".

Edit 2: There was also an issue I pointed out inthis post(the word "the" was used twice in succession) that someone tried to fix by removing an instance of "the" rather than correctly replacing the first instance with the word "to".
