Do alpha testers get into beta or do we need to re apply?
Why jot down January 7th?

I want to get into Phase 1 Beta as a Legacy member, however does that mean I forfeit getting into PS3 beta, which happens in Phase 3? Or will I be able to do both?Quote:

Is it confirmed that FFXIV:ARR will run better on windows 8 and is convenient for the promised DX11?

A few people have mentioned that Yoshi-P is shedding his own skin in that pic... I think he's coming out of the skin of the Wandering Minstrel, his own custom NPC that he used to give us our Goobbue horns. The goggles and red of the NPC's torso are very clearly visible there. Perhaps that has meaning as well, that he's shedding the Minstrel NPC for ARR, but I hope not. He was an interesting NPC and had great potential for direct director-player interaction via NPC for the future.
Maybe it's just a fun picture with no deeper meaning though. -

At the time you didn't know that PS3 was not going to be available in Alpha. So if I selected PS3 I obviously would automatically not get picked for Alpha :P That kinda sucks if you ask me. I basically made my self ineligible because I wanted to test on PS3!Quote:

01-04-2013, 10:34 PMMolly_MillionsIf you look at the beta roadmap, PS3 testing won't happen until later in the testing cycle. If you want in right away, don't pick the ps3 option.Quote:

Maybe SE can design the beta signup page to let you choose both platforms if you want to test both.

01-05-2013, 07:24 AMZehiraI would sign up for that, my high-end desktop computer and MacBook Pro can play it fine. I'll definitely test it on my PS3.Quote:

Also it would be a waste since you can't play on both systems at the same time unless you have multiple service accounts...Quote:

Tomorrow we'll find out exactly why we need to jot down Jan 7th. Thankfully this thread and others helped everyone remember lol.

Well it's 7:39 JST so maybe in about 5 hours...

It's still 2:42 PM on 1/6/2012 (PST). We'll probably need to wait a few more hours.

Just rechecked the lodestone to make sure the japanese date is the 7th and it is... since there is a 15 hour difference between JST and PST it wouldn't be so far to say that PST could receive it on the 6th...

It's almost 9am here in Brisbane, Aussieland, and I think Japan is about 2 hours behind me so Yoshi&co have probably already left for the office already at almost 7am their time.
I'll laugh if the thing to jot down today for is another blog post with pictures of the office or a sleepy Yoshi-P ;P Actually, a sleepy bed-head Yoshi-P from first thing on a Monday morning might be kinda cute :3 Like a red snurble XD
Hopefully today we get something game related though, like the benchmark or something ^_^ -

probably because the beta application site goes online and we get to see the opening trailer. -
01-07-2013, 08:27 PMAndrienI think you might be right.Quote:

01-08-2013, 03:16 AMLinkurrraAgreed, I was hoping for the Benchmark/ Character creator as well. On the other hand Not sure what I am going to do with 6 months of created characters! LOLQuote:
