Actually what is said is:
"Beta Test Elgibility: The following players are eligible: (* A Square Enix account is required to participate in the beta test. ... Legacy Status Holders. FFXIV Service Account Holders, [and] Applicants selected through the Beta Tester Application Site." The next page states "Beta applicants will undergo screening. ... Testers will be contacted in the order they are selected. ..."

So even Legacy holders must have a current account AND be selected by screening process.

Ah so it could be then be if there are 100 seats, 90 go to legacy and 10 go to non legacy...

on side note... I can't believe I'm going to stay up to wait for response... It's already 11:21 EST, usually it is announced at around 3:00 AM EST so 4 hours to go...

Yeah, the reps basically confirmed that Legacy = you are in Beta phase 1 and beyond.

Although the reference is in Japanese, it basically says that Jan 7 is the opening of the Beta Test and Testers are being selected for the test. (I am not that good with Japanese.)

we still waiting. I really thought it be by now

I'm not particularly waiting, just not getting to sleep as i would desire.

I forgot about that benchmark, would be a nice bonus for the day. But prolly just Beta Applications and maybe some teaser information.

-It isn't the opening or selection of the Beta Test as stated above, because they have clearly stated that will not occur until mid-February and they haven't even started the application process.
-More than likely the 2nd benchmark will be brought out between Closed Beta and Open Beta.
-Whatever it is don't expect it until after 5pm in Japan or later, that's been the norm since the very beginning.

I 'wish' they could set up some teasers for Collector's Edition possibilities even though there obviously would be no release date attached to it. Tired of not being able to pre-prder CE LOL
