PS4 + early access, clarification

[Pylfer]

So I've been looking around at a few things to find out what exactly qualifies you for the PS4 early access (which I assume is at 12PM PST April 11th, AKA tonight).

As far as I can tell, so long as you have a copy of the PS3 version and then transfer all of your information over to the PS4 (via the transfer a character on the PS3 login screen) you should be able to start playing on the PS4 any time after that 12PM launch time, or rather any time on the 11th/tomorrow.

Is this correct or is the early access ONLY for people who are purchasing the PS4 version for the first time? I hope that this is not the case as I would sincerely like to start playing for real on my PS4 as soon as possible.

Thank you for any information/clarification in advance.

Sadly, you have your times mixed up.

12 AM is midnight.
12 PM is noon.

12 PM Pacific is 3 PM Eastern .. its tomorrow afternoon, not the wee hours of the morning tonight.

This is true. But... I do believe the transfer starts at 1am pst, which is 3am cst... In the wee hours of the morning.

The transfer PS3 to PS4 is for macros, hot bars etc. It's not actual transfer of character information. You will need to login on the Mog Station, and Upgrade to PS4(if you're upgrading) at 4/11/14 or 11/4/14 depending your location at 1am PDT.

Outside of that, if you are in the beta phase 2, you should be able to just login for the pre-release if you're buying a separate version, instead of the upgrade, as long as you put in the pre-order code.

Incorrect. The transfer data option found on the launcher is only used for transferring locally saved data like hotbars/macros, etc. and has nothing to do the platforms that you can play on.
However, by using the PS3 -> PS4 upgrade service on the Mog Station to transfer your rights from the PS3 platform to the PS4 you will be able to play on the PS4. The upgrade service will launch when Early Access does on the Mog Station.

it would make sense to carry over the trophies from ps3 because some are so grindy you cant start all over on ps4, like 1000leves etc.
