Zitat
- there's a temporary opening for the alpha
- no main story in alpha at all
- the majority of content is not there
- one hume tribe and one miqote tribe to use
- something he's not sure about... but probably that the max lv in alpha is 20, but the in-game stuff goes only to lv 10
- cutscenes are work-in-progress so you will mostly get black screens
- battle calculations are a trial/experimental version? will be final in beta
- apparently, around 2 months ago they started to work on Beta separately, i.e. Alpha and Beta preparations ran along each other and when Alpha ends they will update the beta version with all the changes
- The main reason why so many things are restricted/masked (black screen cutscenes) is mainly to due to prevention of spoilers.
- The alpha build of the game is mostly built for the sole purpose of the alpha test alone, and thus the alpha build is not the latest version of the game.
- Alpha test will take place around the Gridania region.
- NPC graphical variations around Gridania will be scarce as they're still in the process of 'graphically converting' NPCs from 1.0 to 2.0. This is mainly due to the fact that the data they need to convert is not only of immense size, but they have to take in consideration the slight difference in appearance under the new 2.0 graphical engine and have to make sure each NPC looks like they did before if they existed in 1.0. So don't be surprised when NPCs look different in Beta/Release as they did in Alpha.
- The alpha test will be separated into four phases. Phase One and Two will be in Japan. After Phase Three NA/EU people will be able to join in.
- There will be some updates to the alpha version of the game as the test progresses.
- The alpha test is currently slated to last for a month.
- Yoshi-P will also be playing during the alpha test. If you see him, /wave!
