Is it true beta only lasts a few hours?

What I'd like to know are the times. If it's only a few hours a day how is that going to work with JP/NA/EU?

Probably like the 1.0 alpha - they will have JP/NA/EU phases and you will play the one corresponding to your region (SE account)

That's gonna suck because I work so much I'm not going to have much time to play, and when I do who knows if it will even be up.

I forgot how it work with FFXIV 1.0 beta i think they start on jp time and if you can play you play lol. Not very sure on that tho was long time ago.

Well, East Australia is only 2 hours away from Japan so I should be able to get into the testing times if it IS during JP prime.

Right? Right? .___.

Well that's your problem right there. Its not really the time to play. We are testing out the game so in the future we can play without much problems. I hope you won't be one of the people making threads and crying on how something is not working in a beta phase game

In 1.0 it went like this:

Servers will be up xx time, only players with a JP account can log in.
Servers will be up yy time, only players with a NA account can log in.
Servers will be up zz time, only players with an EU account can log in.

Then they had 3 windows a day and anyone could log in, all until the servers were up 24/7. The testing windows were at primetime for each region.

Make sure you're actually sending feedback while you play, if you run into a problem don't just ignore it
You probably know this but just saying

Fear not! I will report a bug when I encounter one, but doesn't mean I can't enjoy playing the game too hehe.

Someone here posted a comment, I forgot the exact word, but it was something like, "While making the baby, you can maybe enjoy the sex too".
