Can't get any clearer than that.

yep and people thought you just had a better chance lol.

"Apply and Proceed to Survey"

Being a Legacy member, I don't need to apply. But! What is that survey about?

I did it as i am applying for both PC and PS3, the survey asks about PC specs, owned gaming platforms, intent for applying for beta etc.

Are you a previous FFXIV player? What level? Joined a linkshell? What other MMOs did you play?

Etc.

Yes, From what i remember it was the same as the alpha questionnaire

I'm sure it's the usual round of questions they normally ask so they have a better understanding of the range of systems and types of players that are playing their game. Honestly, with the current producer and dev team, I think the surveys may actually be worth something to them.

Pretty much the same survey they used for testing for Ver 1.0 but with updated specs and added categories for ppl who played Ver 1.0

Don't apply for the PC version if you have legacy! Please give others a chance!

If you are legacy you are in the beta, applying or not makes NO difference what so ever.

Just because it says you can doesn't mean you will. Pointing that out in case some legacy accounts dont get an invite on day one.

But people will make complaint threads anyway. :p

No, it means all Legacy members will be in Phase 1 testing. Reading comprehension isn't that hard you know..

If you applied for Alpha, you cant even apply again? so what does it matter. it's not like legacy people didn't apply for alpha.
Legacy people will get in, then they're out of the *lottery* so it wouldn't matter if they could apply a million times.

If you got accepted into the alpha you don't need to apply again... if you didn't get into the alpha, you didn't apply for the 1.0 ps3 beta, aren't legacy, or don't have an active ff14 service account (you wouldn't be here) you'll need to apply to play the beta...

Yea, what Kirito said. All it means is that they have your application in line with the rest already. It's just to try and prevent duplicates. I believe during 1.0 there was a warning or something that multiple entries would be disqualified for testing or something. that was too long ago though, i cant remember correctly.

I would be surprised if they let all legacy members in on day one. I am sure there will be rounds of invites like they did for alpha.

If so then they would have said so... Let us not forget they know exactly how many legacy players there are and they have a couple of servers from the alpha... they could even use some of the old 1.0 servers...

Yea, but they'll have a shit storm otherwise. I'm not saying one way or another, but we should all be in before the end of phase 1. And being that Legacy members don't have to apply, even if they weren't in the alpha, pretty much tells me they will make it in day one. That's just a little reasonable deduction though, nothing solid of course.

Having everyone who is Legacy, download the client and log on day one will be a valuable test.

Exactly, it's a major stress test. Something that will need to be ready on release day.

Thank you SE for giving all Legacy members the option of participating in the first phase of beta, it means alot!!

Legacy still has to apply for beta on PS3.

True, most Legacy members probably aren't too concerned though. Just my assumption though. My PC barely wanted to run the game on default settings with a benchmark score that says I should be able to run the game extremely well on default settings and probably even at higher resolutions.

That being said, a lot of people probably have machines that are overkill for ARR. The alpha test ran at 60fps (capped it at 60) with no stutter, max settings, and AO and all that jazz on for me. So personally, I'm not interested in the PS3 version as long as I get my Gamepad controls as promised, eventually.

I'm not so concerned about it but it kind of gets annoying to have to enable my ps3 controller to work as a gamepad with a program each time I want to play ffxi or ffxiv so ps3 version would be better... If they tie the trophies from the game to our psn account I can also see more players playing it...

You don't have to. You could always, you know, actually buy a controller for your PC. -.-; Trophies aren't really my thing... I'll just keep my mouth shut on those st..things.

ooo I hope we can use a controller this time @.@

So if I am legacy and wanna test on my PS3, do I have to pick a PS3 version and not both PC and PS3?

That's because they lack reading comprehension skills and like to debate every single word SE tells us.

Why risk it? Apply for both... But if you already applied for 1.0 ps3 beta then you don't have to do anything...

Legacy is automatic for PC, but there are 3 options when applying for Beta.
PC only
PS3 only
Both.
Since you are Legacy just app for PS3.

Players in possession of a SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS code
that came bundled with FINAL FANTASY XIII will be given
priority for the PlayStation®3 Beta Test.

---

Glad I left SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS because so much teenage drama social queens. :P

Edited: I just used the code again and it was accepted. So yeah you have to do it again if you wanna test on the PS3.
