In addition to the above, the following is also scheduled:
Fall damage testing

Awesome!

I was hoping for something like this~

On "Just a reminder~ Nico Nico Event for A Realm Reborn Live" Thread someone translated yoshi saying that everyone with Legacy status will be in beta phase 1.

Only this community would be dense enough to need clarification on the word 'qualify'.

QUALIFY: MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRY.

If you QUALIFY for the race, it means you are IN the race. You have gained entry.

QUALIFY: "Be entitled to a particular benefit or privilege by fulfilling a necessary condition"

"Qualify as TESTERS" means you meet the requirements to gain entry for testing.

Good grief what a bunch of nitpickers. Yes, that's right. All legacy players get access to BETA 1.

After the "- Must currently have an active FINAL FANTASY XIV account" debacle from Alpha it doesn't mean being dense. It means being burned, and careful not to get burned again

LoL! I was just about to post something similar to this. Its not even an argument. Because they could have easily said:

All Legacy members players can qualify for Beta 1. And that would make the point everyone is arguing against valid.

But the fact that they said. "All legacy holders qualify as a tester for Beta1" notes total access to the privilege being offered. That user qualifies to test beta1.

I don' know if I'll be in for beta testing from phase one as I'm legacy or if I won't get an invite, but I'm glad enough we get a head start from the open beta and the early access with our good old characters =D.

Can't wait to get billed for FFXIV again each month.

Start : Mid-February
Phase 1 : Four weeks -> Mid-March
Phase 1 debug : Two weeks -> End of March
Phase 2 : Three weeks -> Late April
Phase 2 debug : Two weeks -> Early May
Phase 3 : Three weeks -> End of May
Phase 3 debug : Two weeks -> Mid-June
Phase 4 : Two weeks -> End of June (Start of summer)
Lauch : July

Without any "subject to change" delay, July is pretty much the earlier we'll see the game and, at least, "summer" is sure.

Pretty sure someone recorded this mornings broadcast... can't find it ><

Thank you~~

It seems that YoshiP is still up so I questioned him to confirm about the legacy status, since nico nama's last part from the summary page seems that all legacy players can get in from beta first phase without going through selection process.
