What's the point for $50m Gil to do the Cloud beta test if you can't keep it?

Even though I did create a character on the Cloud beta & bought some items with the $50m Gil, what is the point when the character & everything purchased including the $50m Gil will be deleted? I definitely misunderstood Yoshi when he said he would give $50m Gil. I thought that it was a reward given to my main character in my main world for creating a new character & playing on the Cloud beta.

You answered your own question, its just to buy gear and such to jump in and do w/e quicker, they never said the gil was a reward.. They just want as many players on there to stress test and see how well it holds up with the variety of regions playing together, that is all...

its just to buy gear...

from whom? LOL, unless you're buying low level vendor stuff, then again you're most likely using your synced gear for low level roulettes.
