I'm pretty sure all you would need is the code, not to have been in any beta. I had an extra copy of 1.0 from 3 years ago, just gave my friend the code and he entered it and DL'd the game no problem, having never touched any form of FFXIV ever before that. Interesting strategy with the buying Gift Card, and using it at a remote store to just get the code, though!
