Who will get into FFXIV 2.0 Alpha/Beta

[shal_zee]

Ya, who will be able to get into the above? Will all players be invited or only random or legacy players? Does anyone knows?

Thanks!

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.

One of my ls members said they were having people apply for alpha (?) at Japan Expo. This might be false info though as I wasnt there. But I trust my ls mate

Alpha is by definition an internal staff only test, so it doesn't make sense that anyone would be in on alpha.

Incorrect. Players participated in the previous XIV Alpha like.. 6 months before it released. lol. People will be able to get into the alpha test.

ninjedit: Also, players have participated in alphas for other MMOs. Rift, maybe TERA, and definitely PSO2. So.. players will get into the alpha.

All current players will.

An alpha version is not yet feature-complete (with the features and bug fixes intended to be made available in the "final" release). A beta version is more or less feature complete (again, as far as what's intended for the release)

Thanks all for the info!!

I think (not sure lol) that in one of the E3 interviews Yoshi mentioned something about who will be doing beta/alpha testing...

I would think all Legacy folks will get to test alpha

There's no way it will simply be legacy players. I assume they'd want fresh players to provide plenty of input as well

Plenty of fresh players have Legacy.
