The downtime will be minimal, because we will be doing the beta while they are transfering data, don't worry, you will still get your FFXIV fix most of the time.

No it won't, they have to take down 1.xx to transfer our data to the 2.0 beta, both versions will NOT be up at the same time, read the interviews properly.

I think you didn't read it right.

1.xx and launch!2.0 won't be up at the same time. However, they'll be running the beta tests in between those (we aren't using our 1.xx characters for the beta test so we don't need to wait for the transfer).

What’s going to happen is that after the current version is finished and storyline over, the servers will go down and the 2.0 beta will start up. We want to make sure we don’t make the same mistake as before, and want to be sure we have enough time not only for the beta test but also to get feedback from the players and leave enough time to implement that feedback. Also, keep in mind that transferring the characters to the new servers and systems could take up to a month. So that process will be running while the beta test is in place.

he did read it right actualy


what it says is they are taking down 1.xx to transfer data while we beta test
during said beta test our character info will not be available

the reasoning is if we are able to keep upodating our characters during this time, it makes the transfer pointless

you sir, read it wrong, not him

That's exactly what I just said. What he's saying is that we won't be able to get our XIV fix during the transfer, which is wrong because the beta test will be up.

oh yeah we will still be able to get in there and TEST things with fresh characters, or whatever they give us to test with
