We ask that all users who can participate in the open beta test apply from the following website.
   
  1.Access the following URL.

  * The page will become accessible starting at 19:00 on Aug. 31, 2010.
   
  2.Log in with your Square Enix account and have a registration code issued.
  * Depending on the access status, we may temporarily suspend the issuance of registration code. If you cannot have registration code issued, we ask that you please wait a little while before trying again.
   
  3.Register the registration code you received by e-mail on the Square Enix Account Management System.
  Click "Select Service" from "Services and Options" on the left menu. Select "FINAL FANTASY XIV" from the services available and then "Add a service account." Enter the registration code you've been issued and proceed to the end of registration.

  - Transferring your Character Name from the Open Beta Test to the Commercial Release
  As long as the World you choose in the commercial release is the same as the World you chose in the open beta test, you will be able to transfer your character name. If you choose a different World for the commercial release, your character name will not be transferrable. For details, please refer to the beta test site.
   
  - To PlayStation 3 Version Applicants:
  This test phase will deal only with the Windows version of the software. Details regarding the test schedule for the PlayStation 3 version will be released by e-mail at a later date. If possible, we still ask and encourage you to take part in the testing on a Windows PC.
   
  - Note:
  ?The open beta test is being conducted on the Windows version of the game only.
  ?Latest news and notifications will be periodically posted on the forums of the tester site.

  Yeh, not to mention that I haven't been able to log into the CB forums since the big Squeenix-Crysta-membership-revamp. As a side-note: I was surfing the forums back on the 30th and noticed that my log-in name kept changing every time I went to a different subject thread, lol. Talk about split-personality disorder

  FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test Postponed: Follow-up
  
  
  
  We would like to take this opportunity to provide an update regarding the FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test, which was announced to be postponed on Aug. 31, 2010.
  
  
  
  A critical issue where the client software for the open beta test would not respond on certain rare occasions has been addressed. As of now, we are in the final stages of preparation for the start of the FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test.
  
  
  
  A new schedule will be released at a later date. Until then, we ask for your patience in this matter.
