Well, I hope that's a mistranslation/misunderstanding, because if not that's just stupid, bordering on insane.
That means the only things that might matter are the Active Time Report and those Q&A sessions.
I'll be pleased if we get either a new trailer or a release date either way, but I can't for the life of me figure out why SE would spend all that stage time having people play through the same old demo over and over and over again.
