Actually, it was said that Alpha testers didn't need to reapply. That didn't necessarily mean they will be accepted into the beta test by default. I'm pretty sure I read something alluding to the previous statement as well.

Actually, it wouldn't be too far to believe that the alpha testers would get into the beta since they would be ones of the only ones to recognize the difference from the alpha and could comment on if they liked how they progressed from alpha to beta. But still this is entirely speculation, I don't want to get hopes up for some alpha testers out there...
Sadly not true
The only people automatically getting into Beta are legacy members. Alpha testers don't automatically roll over to beta this time.Quote:
SE: Thank you for your application and your interest in FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn. It is our pleasure to inform you that you have been selected for the role of Alpha Tester. We look forward to your assistance during the testing process. Please note that a separate selection process will be conducted to recruit beta testers.
The invite seem pointless when we know we are in beta but ya i guess they would send something saying go here to download and here to log on to the forums i guess lol.
They could send all the information 2days before the beta start and benchmark would be release sometime close to the beta so seeing how let's say it's going to be feb 1 we have to at least wait for jan 30/31.
I myself think it may be med feb.
It came out today 12:01 PST... I already downloaded it an am playing right now. Soloing new Shiva as a lvl 50 Fisher.
