Greetings,

As you know, the Japanese version of the FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Alpha Test will be starting soon and everyone is very excited about it (ourselves included!). However, we ask that you remember that content related to the Alpha Test is protected under a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and cannot be shared publicly. As stated on the Alpha Tester application website:

Disclosure of Proprietary Information

As stated in the "FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Tester Agreement," testers are prohibited from publicizing any proprietary information related to the Alpha Test on external sites. In the event that we confirm that infringement has occurred, your rights to be a tester will be revoked and your FINAL FANTASY XIV account will be suspended.

We will announce if and when Alpha Test-related details can be publicized, so please take great care in their handling until they have been made public. For feedback and discussions between testers, please use the dedicated tester forum, which will open at a later date.
As Alpha Test content is under NDA, it is not allowed to be posted on official and external websites, including by users that are not Alpha testers. If you're unsure whether the information you want to post has been officially released, we ask that you refrain from posting it.

We thank you for your understanding in this matter.
