I don't think it was in any regards to beta. On the actual Alpha Test Application site: http://entry.ffxiv.com/alpha/index_na.html

Here is what it says right before it displays the minimum system requirements.


Application Requirements
- Must currently have an active FINAL FANTASY XIV account
- Must be at least 18 years of age
- Must be willing to participate actively and submit bug reports in at least one of the following languages: Japanese, English, French, German
- Must have a PC that meets the minimum system requirements of the game
This was the information that has been given to us during the time we have applied, so honestly, people do have a right to feel uneasy about what is going on. At least during the live letter, they could have given people a heads up about the change of direction they were going to take. At least that way, people will know for sure it wasn't a mistake and that YoshiP could have explained it in a way that makes more sense than sitting here playing a guessing game.
