    Very unlikely. The devs don't do open beta.

    There was a test server in FFXI, however all of the content was still locked behind its regular 72hour timegate restrictions. Also, I'm aware that there is a desire to prevent spoilers of new content, which is why I asked for existing content to test with.

    You have to factor in that they introduced the Test Server in 08/29/2011 (9.5 years after initial release). It was implemented towards the backend of the game's life cycle. The game had already released 4 expansions and 6 add-on scenarios at this point. The battle system was far more complex with 22 jobs to balance and the team's staff was reduced to help with other projects.
