Thread: Who will get into FFXIV 2.0 Alpha/Beta

I think it'll mostly be tied to Legacy for alpha.. if they recruit for Alpha. Then beta will be a wider pool of players.

Nope, he explicitly stated Legacy members won't have priority and at best they'll try to get some in, but this is mostly for people who never touched FFXIV.

No offense, but citation needed.

Even if there is no priority, I'm sure plenty of Legacy players will get in lol. I haven't read anything in interviews where he said "lol no Legacy players allowed." The most I saw him say was "We won't tie it directly to legacy, but more details will be announced later blah blah blah."

Basically being in Legacy doesn't automatically grant you with the possibility of being in alpha or beta it'll be completely random. While I can't find the quote in said interview just look at the Legacy page itself http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...gn.html#legacy

It says nothing about beta and clearly states what the 3 benefits of being a legacy member are:
1=Discount
2=Unique Chocobo
3=Opportunity to have name in credits

There is nothing else on that page that says "Automatic Entry into Beta" if there was then there would be no argument but the page clearly states what Legacy means and it doesn't mean automatic entry into Beta.

yes, people need to stop feeding self with false hope and information, and then get them self kick in the butt when they didnt get it.

Stop assuming stuff when they haven't announce anything concrete

Doesn't discount the fact there are other possibilities behind the scenes..

as with the others, [citation needed]

Also, many of us have been "beta testing" this game for a year and a half or more, nearly 2 years for the first alpha testers. To not include them in the beta and make them take a days/weeks/months/however long vacation from the game while they let a bunch of random whoevers in would be a slap in the face.

Feel free to read the latest round of interviews from just before E3 to after.

Or you could not make things up and back up your statement with a proper citation.

But even so, I do remember reading something about how they won't tie it DIRECTLY to Legacy.. but that means very little without some sort of confirmation.
And also, as a previous poster stated, there are those of us who have been playing since alpha and beta - as well as a bunch of new players who jumped on the boat to snag up Legacy status - Legacy players are FFXIV's primary customers right now, and we should get first dibs on the alpha/beta. Anything else is a shot in the foot.
