Unless you were doing the app on a machine with absolutely no chance in hell of running the game (because it couldn't run 1.0 FFXIV either) then you really have nothing to worry about. They need people with all different kinds of hardware. telling them your new better hardware vs your old worse hardware isn't going to affect your chances. And as others have noted, PC specs are just one of the factors.
Well, i registered for alpha in september, and i totally bough the computer in November 23, and it wasnt planned that ahead. When i made the app was to maybe sneak into alpha and see if i could run ARR at all, and if so, whould help testing, finding bugs, stress testing, everything like a normal tester. In Version 1.0 Closed Beta my computer (that old laptop) didnt run the game at all, so i didnt test 1 bit because i had around 3-4 fps..... Which made me not buy the game when it went retail because i knew my system whouldnt run it. But sudenly in July, when i bough the game, my laptop whould run it rpetty good with lower settings.
