Gamerescape Interview: Summons, Chocobos, Train Tracks and Rocks

Nope, if anything there's a good chance they'll have a sign up and take in people who aren't/haven't been playing FFXIV. While they said they want to try to get legacy members in, there's still a good chance not everyone will get in.

But in the interview he said it wouldn't be necessarily legacy members playing it but why would there be any point to people who aren't/haven't played FFXIV. That shouldn't happen. Someone who's at least played it should be beta testing it.

That...doesn't really make sense. Beta tests are played by people haven't played the game before. That's why it's a beta test, usually before it's actual release.

XIV is a special case I suppose, but I wouldn't be opposed to people playing who haven't touched 1.0. Fresh eyes, so to speak.

I would suspect that it is going to be a subset of currently subscribed players in the beta possibly alongside some sort of random beta key giveaway. I doubt that they are planning on handing out a ton of keys to people who never played before.

I think their comment means that you are not guaranteed a beta key just because you are a legacy member .
