    Alpha Tester Acceptance Mails Heading Out! (10/23/2012)

    We have recently begun sending notification e-mails to players accepted as alpha testers for FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn. For those who do not receive an acceptance notification this time, do not be disheartened! We are planning to augment the ranks of testers over time, and there will be more opportunities for you to join the fray.

    Furthermore, because the Alpha Test is commencing first in the Japanese region, at this time e-mails are being sent only to players who reside in Japan. When testing for the other regions are ready to commence, notifications will be sent to players accordingly.

    The development team is still seeking players who would like to participate in the alpha test. If you are interested and have yet to apply, we encourage you to do so.

    Known since the thing was first announced, so. They're just testing server infrastructure so starting locally is a good idea.

    Official forums will still act like they were never told it was JP only, and 30 threads will be made because of it.

    Yeah, not the wisest of ways to announce this "hey all you non-Japanese players, we're handing out Alpha invites... to not you!"

    Seriously, come on. Everyone has been on their ass about when alpha would start. After reiterating god knows how many times that the first alpha test would be jp only, what would be the "wise" way to inform every one?

    Maybe not with the title "Alpha invites are going out now!"

    We're talking about the fragility of the dipshits that frequent the OF here.

    those retards whine and bitch about any and everything. Now imagine if they had just updated the jp lodestone without translation stating the very same thing, the bitching would reach epic proportions.

    Just thought it would have been safer and smarter to just state that the first server-infrastructure phase of the alpha was underway instead of "The emails are going out now! Check your inboxes! If you got nothing, don't worry, maybe next time! By the way, this only applies to the players that won't be reading this."

    Aaaaanyways, I'm happy that it's at least started.

    Check it out guys. Yoshi-P alpha forum post and ARR downloader shots. Maybe Stanislaw can translate the forum post for us?



    EDIT: Removed photos for now.

    Hehe, was just entering the topic to post if anyone found the pics yet as I heard about them. Apparently there was also a log-in screen floating around? Someone saw that yet?

    Wow, surprised to see the download is available.

    And the file size is big too. Anyone remember how big 1.0 alpha was?

    I'm looking, but I haven't seen one yet. Maybe they're confusing the launcher for the login screen?

    Might be.
    Anyway my friend will translate some of the stuff after he eats dinner, but not the whole thing.

    We're going to need the Fight Club soon

    Ok, some main points:

    - there's a temporary opening for the alpha (me personal guess: one of the CGI's we saw )

    - no main story in alpha at all

    - the majority of content is not there

    - one hume tribe and one miqote tribe to use

    - something he's not sure about... but probably that the max lv in alpha is 20, but the in-game stuff goes only to lv 10

    - cutscenes are work-in-progress so you will mostly get black screens

    - battle calculations are a trial/experimental version? will be final in beta

    - apparently, around 2 months ago they started to work on Beta separately, i.e. Alpha and Beta preparations ran along each other and when Alpha ends they will update the beta version with all the changes

    I share this sentiment.

    I'm not even going to open the OF because I know what awaits.
