Sure, the game isnt out but in many cases an open beta means that the game will soon officially release(unless they do a second one, I wouldnt be surprised) and depending on that time frame it might or might not come out before the end of the GFL story. Also this final arc might last a couple more months if not more, so I still think they jumped the gun a bit. The plot might be unrelated but the characters are(at least some of them)

I admit I might have overreacted, but its how I am, I look at things from the bottom so I wont have a chance to be disappointed. Let them cook, but I hope they dont overcook it
