Knowing SE, they'll just show the trailer and have no available game play. Seems to be their trend in the past decade. They might show a video OF game play, but....yea. Don't hold your breath.

Not getting my hopes up for much. If FFXIV 1.0 taught me anything it's that it's just better to be patient instead of overhyping yourself.
Its actually a little ambiguous, but I think SE said current subscribers get early access, which is what that Begin distribution of version 2 is, when they will allow us to download the finished client, the beta could be before that, and what we will get in sept-oct is the finished version.
I just hope it is not a repeat of the E3 this game was announced, huge excitement and hype and then bitter disappointment. I am pretty excited about seeing it but if this all goes sour I don't think I can forgive them a second time. I am both excited and nervous.
I Mean.. if they were both in Beta wouldn't they put it all in one Sentence.. like this:
- ・September to October 2012 – Begin distribution of version 2.0 software for PC and PS3 Beta Version..
Its just how I read it.. that the Beta is before Sept.. for PC users..
・Post-January 2013 – Version 2.0 client (PC and PlayStation®3 system) goes on sale
That just means everyone else who doesn't own FFXIV can finally Purchase it.. Current users get "Special access" I suppose because we get the Client 4 months in advanced.. so I think they want to put 2.0 live first for the current players.. to make sure everything is in tip top shape.. use that 4 months to Stress test.. then put the game out to the public on Jan 2013.
