Alpha test "soon"

[Sephrick]

I'm sure there be a NDA for alpha the game would just be to test the servers. ffxiv 1.0 would be still running with the alpha and the alpha wont be very long maybe 1 week at best from what yoshi-p have said.

But even with NDA people still upload youtube videos they did that for alpha, and beta version of ffxiv 1.0.

Yoshida has said there won't be any overlap. v1 comes down, then Alpha starts.
