    Maybe they'll call it 'online' again when the game goes live?

    I'm intrigued to see if there's an NA beta period starting up at the same time.

    DO WANT! Really testing an online game offline? Wouldn't it better to just have a test/beta server to use before release to get rid of all the early bugs?

    It's probably just referring to it being a beta and not the live version. I hope NA are invited to a beta also, but most likely we won't, at least not at the same time.

    Polly titled "offline" cause its a beta test, it might be the Japanese term for "beta" anyways. Nice to see the beta already starting, really surprised no new info has been released (outside of E3) still though.

    If this is another 'JP's defeated AV' post I'll slap the first JP I see in FFXIV next year.

    It most likely is though.

    Hmmmm, im torn.
    I played JP XI and NA Beta, and it kind of ruined the feel when it finally came out to NA retail.

    I think ill try and apply, but not play it very much.

    I do agree, extensive beta testing, to me, takes away from the game at release... Yeah you have a jump on the community and there is still a "lot" of content you haven't seen, but it just isn't the same to me. And since XIV will be a PvE game (least my assumption - w/I think is the way to go), it's not like you need to rush to cap for PvP advantages

    Ive neva looked into it before but when beta starts up i assume we will get allot of video footage come through or will SE be extremely over protective with what footage gets out into the internet.

    I mean theres only so much damage control that could be done when u deal with the internet.

    depends on the level of the Beta, who's making it and how they feel about releasing info. I know a friend of mine is trying the Champions Online beta, and had to agree to an NDA to do so, meaning she really can't give out too much info on specific things. I can easily see that happening with FFXIV for the closed beta. Info might leak out, but it won't be much.

    If 8/3 is Monday, 8/30 can't be Monday as well (like it says in the pic).. so false alarm this time it seems.

    The plot thickens...

    The grammar on that pic is kinda off though.

    Casual doesn't mean offline. I wouldn't entertain the game having an offline element for even a minutes.
