    I honestly do not think this will be the case for the complete run of the beta. I do however believe unless they have invested a lot in "on site" English, German, French speaking dev team members or at least community team members they will not choose to include non JP speaking people in the initial beta beyond those press people that were in attendance last night. At least in the initial grouping. Let them get their feet wet, and then bring in the Westerners, who are insanely critical of EVERYTHING and will require a decent amount of translation man hours for the dev team to work. ie get the easy bugs fixed early, then work on the more elaborate stuff later.

    Why would they post something about the beta on the US Vanafest site if they weren't going to give invites to NA players?

    Exactly what i was thinking, they are definetly passing out to the world as a whole i am sure...i just doubt as auspice said that they would ever update that on the english site w/o no access to beta.

    I am wondering if they will send out the Emails starting March 1st (tomorrow Oo!!!) or will they wait till Mar 11th to send out verification.

    Till then i'll be camping my emailwaiting for it to pop!!!!!

    Agreed. The old Squaresoft would have simply not announced anything for the rest of the world. Remember FF3? FF5? Yeah, excluding them because they felt that the Western audience was too stupid to play such a "complex" game, so we got Mystic Quest instead.

    They've changed a lot of that - the changes and upgrades to FFXIII are another example of that, and while they have a long way to go to reach the level of awesomeness of others like Capcom, who freely invite the best players to pepper them with ideas, regardless of nationality.

    Why announce that something was happening even if it doesn't directly effect us? Why does anyone do anything? But seriously, its valid info even if we aren't going to be directly involved at this stage.

    I hope you are all correct, I just would guess its gonna be 98% JP for this first wave, with a second wave coming late march early april that will be more worldwide.

    FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Tester Selection Announcement

    Just got my email saying that i'm actually in the alpha test.


    Weee. Of course, the NDA says not to post anything related to the alpha test so I'll refrain from cut/pasting the email...

    Anyone else get in?

    edit: Came to my regular email that I signed up for the beta on.

    In retrospect, I should have posted this in the FFXIV forum, but I am an idiot.
