jk, no clue
Hehe, I could only wish
Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.
my guess will be around march to april.latest by june
I do not know if this will help at all, but I was looking up a bit of information about the release dates of Final Fantasy X in relation to XI's beta. This is what I learned:
Final Fantasy X came out in Japan on July 19, 2001
After that, Final Fantasy's XI beta began in Japan in August, 2001.
I know that Final Fantasy X was released just before Christmas (mid December) for the United States, and FFXI was released after Japan's FFXI game.
So logically, with FFXIV being released simultaneously around the world, one could only assume (based on the trend of FFXI in relation to FFXI) that beta will come around between now and April.
My sources are the Final Fantasy retrospective made by GameTrailers, and the wikia page for Final Fantasy.
It's just an educated guess, but I hope it helps. ^^
I'm going with the week of FFXIII launch; {7th through 13th} ~or~ the following 2.5 weeks after {14th through 31st}
That sounds logical

Will there even be an open beta for this game?
Most games do. It is that time when everyone and their uncle gets into the beta and feel all special that they got in. It is usually around the time for the server stress test so they let as many people on for a month or so before release to make sure they can handle the load.

A lot of MMO's now have taken the approach that you have to pr-order the game to get an open beta key. I am not saying FFXIV will do this, but that begs the question, is it really OB if you have to pre-order to get in?

Now Playing: N/A

It is if you feel that open beta is to test the game and make sure it doesn't have any bugs. It's not if you consider open beta a chance at trying out to the game and deciding whether to buy it.
I believe it's more about testing bugs than testing if you like it or not.
