Beta Phase Two is over. Beta Phase Three has been proposed for "early June", but no date has been actually set yet.
The best place for up-to-date info about the Beta test is on the Beta forums, which you can access if you sign up for the Beta by following the link here if you're in the EU.
As for the launch date... that's still not set in stone, but the current roadmap can be found here which gives a rough guide. -

Also, release has been officially announced for the "summer", with preorders opening around May the 20th.
To be more precise they said during the "hot part" of summer, which probably indicates a release between the end of July and the end of August.
Phase 3 of the beta (that will be open to everyone that ever had an account) will start at the beginning of June. -

Lunch date is usually around late afternoon, daily.

05-10-2013, 10:17 AMEllisI agree with Mjollnir, the best source would be to sign up for beta testing and you will have access to the beta forums. But beware ....... the NDA is still in full swing.Quote:

05-10-2013, 10:26 AMAbriaelI doubt signing up for the beta is anything more than a waste of time at the moment, as I seriously doubt phase 3 will require an application at all for those that ever played FFXIV (since everyone will be in).Quote:

All I can say is ..... it pays to be a legacy member.

05-10-2013, 11:07 AMAbriaelAu contraire. It just means that everyone here will be able to access the beta soon :DQuote:

I know quite a few people that never gave FFXIV the light of day because of the horribad reviews, but that now are drooling at the idea of getting into ARR's beta. -
05-10-2013, 11:07 AMNixThe application site should remain so that those who have never played XIV before may apply for the beta^^. Some people may not even have an SE account yet and have been enticed by tidbits placed online~ So even though applying would be kinda moot for us chaps, there are still others that could make use of that service^^.Quote:

I thought they might be sending them out beforehand in order that people could log into the Beta forums for news and updates, but that would just be sensible, lolQuote:

As far I see, for access to the BETA in general you still require a BETA application at least for Playstation 3 testing, as it states in the FAQ for Playstation testing that testers are required to apply for both to gain access to either-or.
Phase 3 is still technically 'Closed Beta' even if the NDA is lifted.
Phase 4 is 'Open Beta' where anyone and everyone can hop it, if you haven't filled it in, its safer to do so. -
