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...
