I don't have source..think it was a live letter...but yeah 1 will be the standard benchmark (Ferny showed a couple pics of it) and the 2nd one will be a character creator benchmark

This is correct.

How did people who are this excited and fanatical about a beta benchmark or application ever make it past alpha without some vital organ exploding?

It's going to be Benchmark and Beta sign up i don't know why people keep thinking they wont be release together. You been the benchmark so people know if the game would run on there computer or not. FFXIV 1.0 beta sign up was release with benchmark so i'm guess that what going to happen.

+ the beta sign up are not that important seeing how legacy members get in beta 1 so they have more then enough players to test the beta.

People keep saying this but he only said Legacy players will be considered for Beta. Not that they would automatically be included. Just because you are Legacy does not mean you can get into Beta. SE still has their selection procedure in place and will choose whom they will.

I suspect Beta acceptance e-mails will go out midnight PST and the Beta-Tester site will open. However, this is a week earlier than I expected if it happens.

- All Legacy status holders qualify as testers in phase 1.

Wasn't there a recent translation from a video concerning this, confirming Legacy players as being in the Betas.
