Q: When will Final Fantasy XIV 2.0 launch?
A: I expect the first Closed Beta for the Japan and International servers to be held end September or early October, entering Closed Beta 2 this winter and Open Beta in January next year. We will be talking to Shanda Games about the China server, with features such as PvP, blocking 3rd party programs and localization, hence the Chian server will launch later.
Couple things to note with this:

- He Didn't Specify what kind of Beta ( PC- Will have a beta of Some sort, but they failed to tell us which for the PC Version)
-He didn't Specify if the Beta Timeline is for PC ( we know PS3 will have a closed beta).
-He was only Discussing the Timeline till the " Retail Launch of the game" We the Legacy players (and anyone else that's has a Copy of FFXIV will probably play 2.0 in it's retail before it hits the stores ( probably a month or 2 gap).

PC- WILL have a Beta but they will probably won;t do a "Closed Beta" for it.. PS3 is Def, having that though.
