NDA dropped and here is one of the first reviews of ARR I've found

This is a review by Massively--I found it intriguing to read about how ARR maintains the originality of FFXIV while integrating it into a relatable MMO market which we have become comfortable with. I have enjoyed the evolution of FFXIV and can't wait for ARR to be released. SE has shown they have to devotion to this IP and I can't wait to see how it turns out. For better or worse the company has shown devotion to creating quality products even at a loss--this game could have been tossed with the trash and yet it still persists. Kudos and hat's off to Yoshi and the rest of the crew for bringing such great changes to a game that was otherwise doomed to oblivion. I hope their work pays off.

    I hated alpha and beta. Seriously thought about ending my life a few times during the alpha and beta. Is the NDA really lifted? Has beta phase 3 or 4 started?

    Certain media outlets were allowed to talk about Phase 2, the next phase (starting this Friday) will be NDA free (no videos though) but you are not allowed to talk about previous versions, it has to be based on the current one.

    Unrelated issues combined with the stress of FFXIV about sent me over the edge.

    Sorry to hear about that, hopefully come June 14th you'll be pleasantly surprised with phase 3's progress!

    The stress of FFXIV? You sir or madam, are playing games wrong.

    Yes, its beta. Yes, you are helping them to polish the game. But it should not be stressful unless you actually work for SquareEnix.

    Go outside, enjoy life.

    How is beta stressful? If anythings its less stressful than the actual released game since you pretty much know all data is getting deleted eventually. Hell, playing any video game can only really help during stressful times unless (maybe) youre one of those people that get easily offended by 12 year olds with horrible parents.
