Has anyone who doesn't have legacy status received a beta key? Just curious if I'm already out of the running for phase 1 or not.

Guys I'd be careful about giving your codes to other individuals. I don't know if they have a means to track it electronically or if they have to catch you red handed bragging about it on the forums but there is a segment in your email that says if you are caught transferring or selling the code to another person it will result in the cancellation of beta testing and suspension of your Final Fantasy XIV account.

Checking around online, it appears that there have been non-legacy members receiving beta keys... Hope I become one of them :p

I am a Legacy member and I didn't get the Beta email. :/

My email is registered, I checked several times to make sure it was the right one. I get regular mail from SE but I also never got my Alpha invite email. I had to check my service options to see that I was invited to the Alpha.

Am I the only Legacy member here who didn't get anything?

Some other people have reported having trouble receiving their beta emails due to having their email service through Comcast. If that's you, you may want to call them up and ask them.

Did your Alpha invite come through okay (assuming you got one)?

I did check my spam folder of course, but there is nothing.

And no, I never received my Alpha invite email either, I got to know I had access from checking my service options on my SE account page, but I do get regular emails from SE.

No idea what's up. :/

Edit: Not a Comcast user either. I am from the EU.

We'd need this code for future phases, right?

Not that interested in anything before Phase 3, so maybe could give mine to someone now so I can have theirs later?

It may work the same way as the Alpha, where you register your code now and it allows access to your SE account for all phases.

Wonder if the media interviews and so on will go up after midnight JST. 2ch people are convinced the embargo ends on the 21st of February JST. Would be lovely to have some reading material before the PS meeting in the morning.

I didn't get one either even though I did get the Alpha e-mail and the Feb. 1st newsletter.

Did the customer service thing; hope it works. :(

It's only a coincidence (the same date of ps4 announcement)? Mmhh..

Famitsu seems out somewhere... Limsa sea is so nice now. And the city seems to have some santorini-alike (white buildings and stuff) vibe finally. Love it. :0

Wow. Those are PS3 screen shots and it looks unbelievably good. The beautiful ocean around Limsa, proper lighting. Macro detail galore.

That'll do Yoshida, that'll do.

Man the new Ul'Dah and Limsa are really making good use of the new lighting engine, even more so then Gridania despite the overhanging foliage. The new overhanging banners that give real time shadows in the revitalized market area of Ul'Dah, the shimmering water and the reflecting geometry shadows from the dock in Limsa is all gorgeous. I already planned to make Limsa my new home before those pictures but now I really want to see how it all comes together.

It also helps that people are pretty tired of seeing so much Gridania.

Part of Gridania's problem is that its nothing but forest, even though each zone is technically different and has its own 'feel', its still a forest, very little wide open areas, and most of the good stuff that might give its true 'feel' looks like it will come from night time (with the lanterns and stuff dynamically lighting up the area). I am actually really looking forward to the full time cycle getting implemented the most for beta, the constant day time in alpha reminded me of one of the biggest issues I had with SWTOR, no matter what time of the day you come on nothing changes about the zone you are in, it felt so static and artificial. A working hour long day cycle with changes in lighting as you stay in the zone should do wonders with my enjoyment factor in Gridania this time around.

Looks ok, hard to tell from those poor quality pics though, Grid will remain my home.

Gromph they are on the Beta forums.

The art for the female Highlander looks great.

Also got to mention one other thing, looks like 'certain' hair styles from FFXI are making a comeback into the game, specifically a certain tarutaru style that is on one of the lalafell XD. Return of the Onion Heads!

Female Roegadyn and Highlander look amazing. They did such a good job making them look strong, yet feminine. Roe especially look badass I think.

Also, refreshing to see some Ul'dah and Limsa.

Holy bejeesus, that Miqote Sunwalker art is exactly my character! Kinda awesome, lol.

It's looking fantastic, I can't wait to see this in hi-res. FemGalka look pretty damned awesome if I do say so myself. If they're animations and such are good I may just race swap come release. :O

Huh, that's unexpected - Roegadyn seem to have gotten a regional variant now, "Zeyvolfs?"

Unlike the others, though, they don't list them as two types of Roegadyns, but more like two different races.

Wasn't it always 'seawolf' and 'hellsguard', though? I don't know about their Japanese counterparts, I'll do some digging.

EDIT: yeah, it has always been this way actually. Zehwolf / Seawolf and Lohengarde / Hellsguard. http://chrysaliswiki.com/encyclopedia:roegadyn VS http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Roegadyn

Oh, hmm, I guess I just completely forgot about that?

Here they're called "Zeyvulf" and "Rowengalde." I guess they just changed the English names.

Yeah, seems that way. The Japanese names didn't seem to make much sense compared to the other, more straightforward racial naming conventions.
