Open Beta!

The twitter feed from http://twitter.com/FF_XIV_EN states the following!

"The FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Test Phase 3 will end on August 25, then move to the Open Beta Test in early September. Get ready!"

This will be followed by Early Access on the 22nd (provided all goes well)! I hope you guys are feeling the hype :P

Let's hope that open beta gets all the whining wow lovers out of the way before the game even releases

amen to the crybaby WoW players! "but in wow my char can jump" >.> woop de doo... "in WoW we have mounts" woop de doo...we got chocobos and you got polygon tigers that hop like bunnies >.>

I can't tell if this is sarcastic because you didn't play XI so there really wouldn't be a way for you to know about the jumping!

You'll get used to it though, I never once played XI thinking "I wish I could jump dammit!" ... hmm, although, it did get frustrating when a crack in the floor or a microscopic hill would stop your progress, but that's more about stupid floor design than the ability to propel yourself into the air like Mario.

I never jump in real life

I liked the ability to jump when I had it....but I hate seeing 15,000 night elves flipping around a city

omg it looked exactly like that ......

Runaway!

Open Beta begins August 31st! Whoo-hoo! :tumble: :turn: :tilt:

I thought you weren't leaving until after release? Did they change your date or is this for something else?

August 31st? So when they said September THEY LIED! O:< ALL LIES!

yes...technically but at least it's sooner rather than laters!

correction on the date its the 1st of September at 2 GMT

w00t, will probably play a day or two just to see what changes they've made, then restrain myself again so I don't feel I've lost a lot of work and effort when my character's wiped before launch.

FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test Postponed

That link was for the closed beta applications. Open beta will start tomorrow at 2 GMT. You can start the download tonight from http://entry.ffxiv.com/ starting at 19:00 PDT :)

It's possible Open Beta was pushed back and it doesn't start tomorrow anymore :o

They did. Here is the latest tweet "Because of critical bugs, FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test, which is scheduled to begin on Sept. 1, 2010 at 02:00 (GMT), will be postponed."

I thought that was from clicking "join the beta" from the main site...cause I did that the other day and got that exact same screen. How ever if you go to http://entry.ffxiv.com/na/index.html now it says pretty much what the tweet says but in a more confusing manner

sooo...in english....SE says "we are currently scratching our pits and eating bananas whilst you try and join this cult named 'open beta'" XD

They better be damn good bananas!

Wasn't even able to connect to the server last night! Or this morning when I tried again just now, if anyone else wants to give it a go to see if they fix it later go here:

http://entry.ffxiv.com/na/index.html

That page loads fine, but once you click on the "Apply for the open beta test" button, chances are you'll get a "server congestion, please try again later" error :p

Try anyway though, eventually you might get through!

>.> annoying! It's been saying busy all day and now it says suspended until further notice...RAWR!

Maybe I should suspend my foot up their ass! :p this reminds me of Darkfall's release, and that is not a compliment.
