それでは、あらためて本来頂いていたご質問への回答です。
I read it completely wrong... I apologize. (Initial thread question was to transfer character data from benchmark into 2.0 as said in 3rd Live Producer Letter)
Here's the answer to the actual question.

ベンチマークで作成したキャラクターについては、ローカル保存されたテキストファイルを移動するなどの方法で新生FFXIVに反映させることができるようになる予定です。
Regarding character created in benchmark. It's being planned where you can save the text file and going through method of moving that file to be able to reflect on FFXIV ARR.

また何かあればフィードバックをお願いします。
If there is anything else please leave a feedback.

新生サービス開始にあわせ、新規プレイヤーを対象にワールドを新設予定です。一定期間は既存ユーザーの移動はできません。
I will answer along with the information from Yoshida P.
At start of ARR service we are planning new worlds targeting new players. For existing players you will not be able to transfer for a while.

現行プレイヤーのワールド移転については、一度でも現行版をプレイしてくださっている方々が、新生FFXIVのサービス開始のタイミングで、どの程度復帰していただけるかを考慮する必要があるため、βテストなどの状況を加味した上で検討を行います。
Regarding current players world transfer - We need to check how many players will return from those who played the current version at timing of ARR service start. so we will look into this along with checking the situation on beta test as well.

また、FF25周年イベント FFXIVスペシャルトークショーの中でご紹介した「ワールド移転の自由度向上」というのは、FFXIで行っているようなワールド移転サービスを提供できるようなシステムを設計しているという意味です。
Also at the 25th anniversary event FFXIV Special Talk Show we introduced "Increasing world transfer" This means to be able to offer system structure which allows world transfer like the one in FFXI.

For the first part it's most likely saying existing players can't go to newly added worlds to control economy among new players vs existing players.

I'm not sure about the 2nd part - I only know XI transfer where you talk to NPC when they had the transfer option available...that?? or something new lol

That's great. I don't want to see new players get screwed over by current players who have tons of gil stockpiled.

Now my question is how they will handle existing players that want to move to a server in their own region.

FFXI - Gold World passes and just buying the server transfer option on the SE account system.

I'm confused how that is going to work out when we're supposed to be able to select a data-center/server and go to these so-called "regional servers" in ARR.. but the info above says existing players won't be able to transfer "for awhile". Do they mean transfers after-the-fact, as opposed to the world we choose when ARR goes live?

I'm so confused.

if my understanding of this is correct and I read it correctly what they mean is if you're on a server right now you can't change it unless you make a new character. However down the road they'll impliment something that is like what they did in XI where (atleast in 11's case) you paid a certain amount of money and was able to automatically transfer to a different server. If you create a new character then your new character will be able to choose what server they're going to be on

from what it said you will eventually just not off the get go...

I just hope they'll give us all a one-time transfer, if we so choose, to a closer regional server when they decide to open that up. We're not being given the option to do so at the start of the new game, and charging us to do so after the fact seems like a huge money grab.

Oh how disappointing. :( I don't want to screw up a new world's economy, but my linkshell wants to move to NA server.
