I sent a friend who has never played ffxiv a link to the ifrit battle trailer...and he was pretty impressed.

so word of mouth is all we as the actual players can do to help i guess lol
What is this test beta phase you speak of? I went to walmart today for some cat food and walmart was selling FFXIV. Then I went to game stop to grab a charger for my 360 battery packs and they were selling FFXIV too. Both stores were selling full copies of a retail ready product, no where on the box did it mention anything about being in a beta phase. If this is still a beta phase why is the game still being sold as a retail ready product?
