go go go~


Some clarification is needed,

If you read PAGE 5, which says "Beta Test Eligiblility"
it means those 3 type of account holders are Eligible to the Beta Test, this does not mean those account are Qualified.

This show greatly that they will still screen-proof and selected some for the beta test, how many i do not know.

So basicly, dont hope to high and be disappointed like some of you do xD <3

OK just watched the video to the part where YoshiP commented on Legacy members. It's confirmed. YoshiP said ALL LEGACY MEMBERS WILL GET TO START FROM PHASE 1, no registration, selection is needed.

Yay~!

Lol at URL typo in the top right corner...

Edit:

So, April(ish) looks to be when we'll get back in with our own characters and when Thanalan and La Noscea open up. And that's if we stay on schedule.

Which sadly even that is off of schedule, just like Alpha.

Alpha: End of September to Early October.
Reality: End of October to Early November.

Beta: November 2012 per European Rep during the Summer.
Beta Reconfirmed: End of January to Early February.
Reality: Mid February.

So the summer release people were adamant could never happen is looking much more likely since..well it did make the most sense.

I'd appreciate it if you didn't quote me to advance your argument when I had nothing to do with it. It makes it look like I got involved in that discussion (which I did not).
Personal gripe over.

Beta begins mid-February. At the longest, according to the "subject to change" dates, it'll last 18 weeks, putting the release around June/July. That...kind of sucks...



Here's to hoping it's as little time as possible... :/

That's at the minimum. So 8-18 weeks So we're looking at PS3 Beta around march to april, and the Beta will end April to June. Based on How well the game runs and feedback and tweaking. Plus the time after it's all ready. Soo... I'm guessing maybe July, August? Heck they might even have the same release date as the 1.0 lol September 22nd for early Pre orders and sept 30th for the normal ones. =P

We still have a long time until the game is out and we can play again.

Oh well, I saw this coming. I guess ill be playing ffxi longer :P

That's at the minimum.

Nope. She's referrring to phase 3 (characters from 1.0 available and Ul'dah/limsa leveling path available), which will be between 5 and 11 weeks, meaning between late March and late May.

Awesome! ^^ can't wait for Feb! we all get to test stuff! :3

Phase 4 -> housing testing

[Elexia]

I hope 'in possession' isn't meant literally, because I discarded the sheet the code was printed on years ago after first entering it.

Yoshida/SE did say not to throw out any codes recently..so yeah.

Phase 4 -> housing testing

Stress testing, it's not being implemented at launch they said.
