One must only pay for 90 days (total) prior to the start of 2.0 beta in order to qualify. So yeah, the 90-day subscription is not the only way. It was just for those that began playing last minute (aka right by May 31st).
Yeah, it's confusing but exactly why I emailed SE support to confirm that I would be able to pay for 90 days by the end of September.

I was just a little annoyed that Rjain implied the OP wasn't supporting SE when he stated in his post that he bought a collectors edition for full retail price. If that isn't supporting FFXIV I don't know what is.
