all the middle space is being left open for future expansions
huge globs of areas~

So when (EST) is the Japanese Alpha starting this morning?

Actually, looking at a lot of the maps posted I think that blank area is a mountain that takes up the middle of the island that Limsa Lomisa is on. That massive area shown is only the southern end of an island off the mainland. (I think)

Is that little cluster of islands, separate from that huge chunk of land, Limsa Lominsa?...

Yeah. And this looks all to scale too.

Hello everyone, first time poster, long time fan of the Thread, as well as the Site. Been meaning to register, but work has me strung out >.<

I personally speculate a Q4 release would be the most reasonable for SE. They'll want to end out their 2010 Fiscal year pretty well with some money from XIV. Then you'll have not only XIV players first Christmas event, but New Years, and Valentines will follow. Speaking of Christmas event, you got Christmas also. The way they pushed the PS3 test to B2 like that means they're still working on a lot it seems. I'd hope that XIV drops in Q4, but it seems fifty/fifty at the moment.

Don't be so fucking petty. If you're gonna ignore someone you don't need to declare it.

[Satyr]

[Loaar]

Yep.

[Chakra]

Yeah. And this looks all to scale too.

Yeah, it does. It also looks pretty accurate, too. This maps shows all the caves I saw around Limsa. I wonder how this person got the information to make this map.

FTFY

PST is only 2 hours behind EST. If the times I was given were right it'll be 3 AM til 7 AM PST.

Yeah, it does. It also looks pretty accurate, too. This maps shows all the caves I saw around Limsa. I wonder how this person got the information to make this map.

Most likely the in game region map and some exploration.

[Satyr]

no PST is 4 hours behind EST, my folks are in Ontario right now and its 4 hours behind us in B.C.

[Lunarhawk]

pst is 3hrs behind >_>
5am in est is 2am in pst

[Kiarax]

Isn't PST GMT-7 and EST GMT-5? I guess daylight savings is fucking it up or my whole life has been a lie.

[Sign]

I normally hate making posts for minor corrections like this but the times are EDT and PDT. We are in Daylight savings time now and if there is anyone reading that is an area that doesn't have daylight savings time, referring to the times as PST/EST fucks up the time conversions for them.

[Satyr]

Isn't PST GMT-7 and EST GMT-5? I guess daylight savings is fucking it up or my whole life has been a lie.

uh your over calculating, PST is GMT -8 add the DST thats -1 hour making PST GMT -7
same works for most other places that adhear to DST

so thats right its 3 behind making a 2am start PST

[bluefan]

Yeah. And this looks all to scale too.

Good God. This game is going to be massive at the start
