There are couple anime's with character name Reinheart, I think spelled Rainheart or Reinhardt though.

A character in "Legend Of the Galactic Heroes". I just changed the spelling a little when I picked the name.

Very nice that Legacy gets insta access.

Once question I have that I hope a rep can answer.

About Phase 3 and our 1.0 characters, if we use them in Phase 3 will we be able to re-make them in Phase 3 and if we do use them in Phase 3 how will it work when we go into Phase 4? I assume you won't just delete our 1.0 characters. So if someone can clarify how it will work it will be much appreciated.

I think our progression for 1.0 will be wiped, when phase 4 begins. Cause the map says we can use our 1.0 characters for the phase 4,again. And it said in Phase 3 "Characters will be deleted come the start of phase 4" the only difference is, our 1.0 characters will not get wiped from phase 4 --> Official launch.

So if I am playing with my 1.0 character in phase 4, does anything I do get carried over to release since new characters created are carried over?

I'm confused here and here is where my confusion lies...

-Is the 1.0 character imported completely at the start of phase 4? if there is a level cap?
-How are we choosing a world if all players from say Gungir are to be put back on whatever new Gungir is?
-I can do everything that will be available at launch in phase 4? and it is saved on my existing imported 1.0 character to launch?

I pretty much got it that legacy accounts got into the game from phase 1, but what about non-legacy? People who played the 1.0 version, even until the very end, but not for enough months to get the status?
I don't ask for priviledges, and I'm okay with legacy accounts getting in before me. What I ask is: will we still get to hope to get selected from phase 1 or is that exclusive to legacy players?

Road map Phase3 states:
"All FFXIV service account holders qualify as testers in phase 3."

I'm thinking, if applications are done in Jan. that invites are going to be randomly picked like it was for alpha, exception being Legacy players as they automatically get to start from phase 1-4. From phase 3-4 the remainder of FFXIV account holders get to access the beta at will.

Hmmm.. that's pretty much how I read it, but I was afraid my own wishes were making me read that wrong. English's not my native language to begin with, and the whole text was somewhat confusing.
Thank you

Delays are inevitable, I wouldn't even count on the beta starting mid February. If some major bugs are still being worked on it could slip until the end of the month.
