I just hope they let the rest of us play now at open beta.
Legacy had "early access" already and they are talking about giving them early access again?
Can the rest of us play too sometime?
Getting a bit ridiculous. I paid for FFXIV too ya know.
Paid for years of FFXI as well.

There are other people here who are not legacy SE.
Would be nice to show the rest of us some consideration too ya know..
Just better not be an "Open beta launches and only legacy is playing" again issue...
I'll be pissed.

You should be playing closed beta perhaps as early as next weekend (Phase 3), probably weeks before open beta starts. And then progress will be reset and you should be in open beta, too (Phase 4). After that, it sounds like "early access" will be 3-5 days, where many won't be able to play. (SE says slots are limited and not even all preorders may get in.) Then everyone can play again.

Thank you for the clarification.
