Carefully read the terms of service provided with the beta download.

If there's a non-disclosure agreeement on the disussion of content or distribution of content then don't post it here.

If it's not official, it's probably illegitimate.


The download will be available for everyone to try on PS4, so it won't matter if people get it now, or when the beta starts.

You can download the Beta already on the JP Store. 10,6 GB big is the client and the game will and take 38 GB space.

Oh that just means we will get on our psn store when it updates this week.

That'll be the client download so they don't get themselves heavily flooded on the 22nd. You wont be able to play likely until the 22nd when the beta server goes live.

Doesn't the ps4 come out on the 22nd in Japan? What good is listing it early?

Someone just said it's up on the JP PSN Store which means there's obviously already JP PS4s out there. Besides it's likely just the result of the JP Store being updated the same as NA in prep for release.

Actually it has nothing to do with that PSN only updates once a week in each region. Also since Japan's PS4 release date is the same as the beta start date I'm guessing they going to get heavily flooded on the 22.

The PSN store website.

If you get it early you dont have too deal with slow downloading times on 22 Feb or early and that also means that you can pull the updates much faster. Remember when the Open beta started ?

It`s already waiting on mine PS4 for the 22 of feb ;).

Does this mean you have to make a JP PSN Store Account to Download it? Or are they letting you use your accounts universally?

I remember downloading during the open BETA at 2-3+MB/s. The speed was fine, never had any issues.

It will be avaliable on all PSN stores for the regions FFXIV is avaliable in, it's currently up on the JP PSN Store because the console releases there on the 22nd, so the store will be updated prior to launch so when the japanese sales go through the roof the first thing they'll see is "Final Fantasy XIV:ARR, now on PS4! Try the BETA for free!".

So I can assure you PS3 users upgrading and people who haven't played before will be grabbing that.

Sorry I don't know if I'm missing something but I can't see the answer to my question, sorry if I'm just being blind XD. Either way, if I did want to download it from JP PSN, would I have to make a new PSN account or could I use my Australian one to access it? I know you have to in PS3, but not sure if they have changed the rules for PS4 :o.
Basically I want to know so if I can access it early, I will to prevent downloading it when everyone else will (will take less time).

The FFXIV PS4 beta is scheduled to release in the US PSN store on the 18th. Was posted on the blog there, so we won't have to worry about downloading it on the 22nd. Also have you downloaded stuff on the PS4? That thing downloads like a beast and patches said game while downloading.
