ps4 beta?

I'm trying to find as much info on this as possible. I know it starts the 22nd but how long does it last,will we be using new characters?

its the same account for you, u just transfer from ps3 to ps4 etc, but once u do that during beta u cant use the ps3 version :) not sure how long it lasts - I think until the official release?

Wait what okay beta starts Feb22 and once you go in beta so long ps3 even when it's not released to ps4. How stupid

I was under the impression it was until release also but thats a whole month free for ps4 users that never made an account with ps3 I also thought it was on its own server... Are we sure you can transfer during beta?

They said they are testing it on its own, but in the end its going to be using the same servers as everything else.

The way I understood it you would need to create a brand new character on the beta server to participate in the beta. Which is when I lost interest in it.

On the 22nd when the PS4 beta starts, you'll play on a completely new character on a Debugging server to test the client. This will be Phase 1 of the Beta.

On Phase 2 onwards, you'll be able to play on your current Characters on the real server :).

^Yes what he said. I really am not looking forward to making a new character for the Beta. I do want to do the Beta though to get use to the new functionality and new controller. I can't wait to see how the touch pad is going to work. The Focus Targeting is suppose to get much better...kind of sucks on the PS3 right now. Also not looking forward to redoing all my Hot Bars and Gear Sets...Come on SE.

since they said im going to play with new character on beta servers i lost interest in beta

guess i will wait for release

Im looking forward to starting over atcually. quite enjoyed first starting out doing all the quests. Be a good chance to start in a different city state as well.

Anyone with a PS4 will have automatic access to the beta, even if they arent playing ffxiv or even if they dont own a ps3. The ps3 to ps4 transfer is something that is done once the final ps4 version is sold in stores.

Or you could just make another character and still keep your original character. This isn't super mario bros., starting over is a bad idea no matter how you try to justify it.

I am going to make a new character and start in a new City State to get a new feel. Then go back to my old one of course.

So has it been confirmed that this will have more than one phase of beta and lasts until launch?

I was just saying i'm looking forward to it. I wasn't having a go at anyone or telling everyone they have to like it. was just expressing my opinion. Im sorry if I offended you

This is all I can find http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/...tion-revealed/

I know Yoshi did an interview saying there is more then 1 phase.

My knowledge they just going throw it on PSN like any other Beta.

I hope they utilize the ps4 voice control system, they used it on. Tomb raider which was F-ing awsome.

I for one also thought the beta was on a seperate server which would make more sense.
I do afterall just want to test it and make a new character but then still be able to go back to my current char on PS3 until the final PS4 release.
Have started over twice i do not think i would want to start over for good again

I cannot wait for this...trying to think of what I will start as for this Beta. I will probably start as something I did not play at all yet.

the only thing id be worried about is.. if you do the beta on ps4, you cant go play 'your' account anymore on ps3, correct? so basically you gotta go roughly 6 weeks without being able to max your myth tomes missing out on 2700, which is alot. no coil, so missing out on a chance of 48 coil loot drops. just those 2 reasons is a pretty gnarly drawback for doing beta.. unless I'm completely missing something here..?

I highly doubt they'll force you out of playing on the PS3 while in the PS4 beta, I personally haven't read anything stating that this will be the case and not sure where it's stemmed from. If they do it's not a huge deal to me but I can see how it will be for people in endgame statics that run during the week and can only access the PS version.

They will not force you out of your ps3 copy to play ps4 beta. Anyone saying this is just trolling you.

Will the PS3 trophies you have earned carry over to the PS4 version if you upgrade or will I have to get them all over again?

First thing I'm testing is the remote play on the Vita. Finally I can be in the washroom when I shit myself trying to dodge titan em plumes and bombs. Also they should add a bit of incentive to testing on the beta like maybe a vanity shirt that says "I played the PS4 beta and all I got was this crummy shirt."
