based on Roadmap, seems Phase1 and Phase2 are restricted Beta with a few maps aviable. Phase3 Will come with something more similar to Release, and Phase4 is Open Beta (Without Wipe) so every one can join and test it for free.
Some posts like this have been locked in the past, as you're technically not suppose to admit you're in beta under the NDA. It isn't a serious violation, and could obviously be a mistake. Though it's worth a mention so you don't get into trouble down the line on other sites.
Those who break the NDA may have their Square Enix accounts banned, including old FFXIV data so be careful.
Due to frequent travel in my youth, English isn't something I consider my primary language (and thus I obtained quirky ways of writing). German and French were always easier for me despite my family being U.S. citizens for over a century. Spanish I learned as a requirement in school, Japanese and Korean I acquired for my youthful desire of anime and gaming (and also work now). I only debate in English to help me work with it (and limit things). In addition, I'm not smart enough to remain fluent in everything and typically need exposure to get in the groove of things again if I haven't heard it in a while. If you understand Mandarin, I know a little, but it has actually been a challenge and could use some help.
Also, I thoroughly enjoy debates and have accounts on over a dozen sites for this. If you wish to engage in such, please put effort in a post and provide sources -- I will then do the same with what I already wrote (if I didn't) as well as with my responses to your own. Expanding my information on a subject makes my stance either change or strengthen the next time I speak of it or write a thesis. Allow me to thank you sincerely for your time.

Thats why I used some random email that doesnt tie me to anything to post on this website. Some poor sap has 100000 post updates and has no idea why!

I think that falls under sharing video and pics while under the NDA more than claiming you were in beta. Half the lodestone said they were in beta when they invited all the Legacy members lol.
I got my invite yesterday too! I hope this one is better than the last... I was in the first BETA (first as in before the game revamp) and I said (when I could) over and over then game was going to fall flat (especially to an NA crowd). I mean, right out of the gate the controls were just horrible which blows half the game right there.
I love BETA (or Alpha on the rare occasion) testing though, so I test most games that I can (and luckily get into most).
As someone else mentioned though, the DL'er is awful right now... keeps stalling with no automatic resume. Probably tons of people DLing at the same time right now.
oh well, GL on the revamp, we'll see this weekend!
Please limit your discussion to the official beta forums. Technically you're not supposed to even mention you're in the Beta. NDA will be raised in Phase 3, which according to the roadmap will probably be near the end of April, so you'll be able to discuss more freely then.

If you got one why the question mark in the subject header?
Can't you edit your subject header/title?
Are you guys from the NA or the EU zone?
I'm from the EU but my code apperantly only works for NA.
NA.
was a question cause I was surprised at the time.

I'd still rather not take that chance though.
The beta forums has all that info in the getting started section.
The email they sent me only gave me information that I was accepted into the Beta lmao.
It did not tell me which phase It is in, where do download the link, or even where the forums are located lol.

Here are the forums. I am looking for a download link now.
Ok, I found it.
Go to the email that gives you your beta key and click on the link.
There is a big red button that say register --> Under that is another red button that says Beta Tester Forums.
Hopes this helps.
I got my invite too, but when I go to put in my key I get a "Region is Unapplicable" or something message.
If the key is for NA then I guess being in Australia puts you in the EU region (?).
Too bad cos I've really been looking forward to this.
