    To try and clarify: Your 1.XX characters will not be wiped, but the progress you made in the 2.0 beta will be wiped. Since it is a beta.

    By definition, a true Beta is an initial trial program. FFXIV started with a true Beta in what... 2010? I don't really remember. Anyway, a major upgrade/update/change is not a true Beta. Why they chose to call it 2.0 Beta is curious, but as I understand it this is not a wipe/restart, just a major upgrade.

    There is a possibility that FFXIV 2.0 Beta will require testers to log into another site and create new characters to test the new program... not touching the game we are currently playing.

    They call it a beta because it is a completly new client, rather than an upgrade to the 1.xx client, so yeah it is a beta because it is new software, similar to how Windows 7 will never have a beta, but Windows 8 does have one.

    That is what I am trying to get at. We play the beta with copies of our current characters, and have the option to also create new characters.

    But they don't call it an beta. Unless you mean the PS3 version
    -Reinstate limited free trial period for PC version
    -Commence PlayStation®3 system closed beta test

    To answer the OP's actual question:
    For the PC version, there has been no upcoming beta announced, and I'm pretty sure there isn't going to be. For the PS3 version, they have not said one way or the other about whether or not those beta characters in the closed PS3 beta will be wiped. I'd be interested to hear an official response.
